1Baoquanshan Town in Changbai County,Jilin Province,is striving to develop a Chinese medicinal herbs cultivation industry to help locals increase their incomes.A project that attracted over 2 million yuan in investment began in Laobaojia Village,and during the spring planting season,Chinese medicinal herbs including huangjing,cangzhu and weilingxian,were planted on 10 hectares of arable(可耕的)land.

2“Baoquanshan is at the foot of the Changbai Mountains and is suited to growing Chinese herbs because of its high-altitude microclimate,”said Zhang Degang,deputy head of the town.“Moreover,we have clean water and abundant forest resources,which provide ideal conditions for the plants.”

3“With the increasing demand for Chinese herbs in both the domestic and overseas markets in recent years,we thought it would be a good business opportunity to develop the scientific cultivation of Chinese herbs,”he added.In May 2021,the local government decided to attract social funds to promote cultivation projects to drive the town's economic development and help more residents learn about planting technologies and practices.

4After several months of market research and analysis,as well as negotiations with business people,the town government signed a cooperation agreement with Wang Zhengguo.Wang,51,was born in a village of Baoquanshan and moved to the city of Ji'an with his family at age 15.“After negotiation,I clearly saw their determination to develop the industry,and I believed it would be a good opportunity for me to repay my hometown,”he said.“Therefore,I accepted their invitation.”

5In September,together with local officials,Wang visited experts at Chinese herb plantation bases in Fushun,Liaoning Province,to learn more about markets and planting technologies.During the busiest time in the planting season,at least 50 workers are needed to work the land.Wang invited experts from Liaoning to teach them the latest practices and technologies.“I plan to rent more than 10 hectares of land by the end of this year,”Wang said.“I hope to develop a relatively complete industry chain in the future to help boost the local economy.”
