  ("15 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry") specifically provide strong support for the use of farmland and forest land involved in the development of agriculture and forestry, financing facilitation and financial support, investment and operation, research and development innovation, and market development in Qiong and Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises.

  [Explanation] Huangfu Yanli, deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee, introduced that the content of the "15 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry" released this time focuses on three aspects.

The first is to solve the actual difficulties of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises, such as supporting Taiwan-funded agricultural enterprises to carry out the establishment of agricultural industrialization complexes.

The second is to further implement "equal treatment", such as encouraging Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises to participate in the construction of forest and grass seed and seedling germplasm resource banks, seed collection bases, production bases and other projects in Hainan Province, and cultivate good and strong seedlings to participate in afforestation and greening work.

The third is to share the development opportunities of Hainan Free Trade Port, such as making good use of Hainan's "single window" for international trade, to facilitate Taiwan-funded enterprises to enjoy the "zero tariff" policy of self-use production equipment in Hainan Free Trade Port.

  [Explanation] After the measures were introduced, they were generally welcomed by Taiwanese businessmen.

They praised them one after another, saying that the newly introduced "15 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry" gave Taiwanese businessmen a lot of concessions in terms of capital loans, and the establishment of the agricultural industrialization complex was of great help to the integration of agricultural production, supply and sales.

  Because (some) Taiwanese businessmen have been in Hainan for 30 years, (the construction of Hainan) the free trade port will be an industry upgrade and transformation (stage).

(The "15 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry" stipulates that after the land expires, it can be extended for another 30 years, including financial support, including the protection and introduction of seedlings and seed industries, and full of confidence and hope for the next development of Taiwanese businessmen. .

  The promulgation of ("15 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry") is equivalent to giving banks a basis to lend money to Taiwanese businessmen with confidence based on the content and rules of the 15 measures. I think this is ("15 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry") Measures”) is the biggest motivation and the best opportunity.

  After the introduction of the policy of supporting Taiwanese enterprises to create agricultural industrialization consortiums, we can combine local farmers, family farms, and cooperatives through village collectives to form a complete industrial chain.

  [Explanation] In recent years, Hainan has taken a series of measures to promote cooperation and exchanges between Qiongtai and Taiwan. For example, in 2018, the "Hainan Huitai 30 Measures" were introduced, involving economy, culture, employment and entrepreneurship and other aspects.

Huangfu Yanli said that the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port is a rare opportunity for Qiong-Taiwan exchanges and cooperation.

Over the past three years, 302 new Taiwan-funded enterprises have been established in Hainan Province, and the actual use of Taiwan-funded enterprises is 308 million US dollars.

The trade in goods between Qiong and Taiwan has maintained a continuous growth momentum. From January to May this year, the total import and export of goods between Qiong and Taiwan was 1.052 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 47.92%.
