Red Willows And Cistanche Deserticola, Both Beneficial For Desertification Control And Wealth Creation

From escape to return, the actions of the Herdsmen's Royal Society exemplify the magnificent transformation of Hotan Luopu County.

In the past, our family used to live a life of grazing, but with the degradation and desertification of the grassland, there were fewer and fewer sheep that could be raised. There was no way to raise sheep, so I 'escaped' from Hotan in 2003 and went to work in another city. In 2010, I started driving big cars and earned around 100000 yuan a year. For an ordinary farmer and herder, an income of around 100000 yuan is already quite substantial. What attracted Wang Huijun back?

The answer is "Red Willow+Cistanche deserticola". The reporter learned that the red willow is an excellent tree species for windbreak and sand fixation, and improving the desert and Gobi environment. In the 1950s, there were 8 million acres of natural red willow forests distributed in the Hotan area. However, due to natural and human factors, the area of red willow forests has sharply decreased, and only more than 2 million acres have been well preserved. To promote ecological protection construction, adjust the industrial structure of agriculture and animal husbandry, and increase the income of farmers and herdsmen, Hotan fully launched the construction of a million mu red willow Cistanche industrial base in 2011 and began large-scale planting of red willow forests. The climate and soil conditions here are the most suitable for growing red willows, and the relative cost of others is relatively high, "said Wang Shenggui, director of the Sand Control and Afforestation Department of Hotan Science and Technology and Forestry Grassland Bureau.

Wang Shenggui told reporters that relying solely on government power for the cultivation of red willows is still very limited, and it is necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and herdsmen to plant red willows. At first, everyone was unsure about the model of 'Red Willow+Cistanche', and most farmers and herdsmen were still watching. As Red Willow gradually became a forest and successfully inoculated Cistanche, generating economic benefits, the enthusiasm of farmers and herdsmen gradually increased. "Wang Shenggui introduced that to encourage farmers and herdsmen to plant Red Willow, farmers, and herdsmen with a survival rate of over 70% in Red Willow forests and a certain scale of inoculated Cistanche were given a subsidy of 90 yuan per mu. In 2010, the subsidy standard was raised to 100 yuan. In 2016, the standard was raised to 200 yuan, and it also required three years of management and protection for the red willow forest. In addition, vaccination with Cistanche deserticola also provides certain subsidies.

The reporter learned that the growth cycle of red willows in forests is about three years. They were planted in 2011, became forests in 2014, and then inoculated with Cistanche deserticola. While enjoying subsidies, they can also benefit from the economic benefits brought by Cistanche deserticola. Everyone has an 'abacus' in their hearts. Planting red willows and inoculating them with Cistanche not only brings economic benefits but also improves the ecological environment. People can feel the environmental changes brought by red willows. Standing in the demonstration area of the Zongbie Township project of the million-acre red willows and Cistanche industrial base in Hotan, Wang Zhongning, the secretary of the Party branch of Luopu County in Hotan, pointed to the Ulan Buhe Desert in the distance and told reporters,' In the past, when the wind blew here, the yellow sand of Ulan Buhe Desert would fly everywhere. Nowadays, winds of five or six levels can hardly lift the sand here, which is all thanks to the Red Willow Forest. Being able to make money and protect his hometown, this has attracted Wang Huijun back. '

Wang Zhongning introduced that as of now, there are more than 400000 acres of artificially planted red willow forests in the demonstration area of Zongbieli Town project and Tianluopu County and nearly 50000 acres of artificially inoculated Cistanche deserticola. The average annual income of households has increased significantly. Last year, we established a sand industry cooperative in Luopu County. The next step is to make full use of this red willow forest, develop the understory economy, and carry out initial processing of Cistanche deserticola to enhance product added value, "said Wang Zhongning.

The demonstration area of the Cistanche deserticola planting base and the "Red Willow+Cistanche deserticola" industry in Luopu County, Hotan, are a microcosm of the development of the sand industry in Hotan. In recent years, Hotan has planted 2.6 million acres of red willow forests and artificially inoculated 498300 acres of Cistanche deserticola.

As of now, there are nearly 900 farmers and herdsmen engaged in sand industries such as' Red Willow+Cistanche 'in Hotan, benefiting more than 10000 farmers and herdsmen. The average annual income of each household is 30000 to 50000 yuan, and some farmers and herdsmen have an average annual income of over 100000 yuan. Wang Shenggui said that the main task for the next stage is to consolidate the achievements of the Red Willow and Cistanche industry, find ways to make the red willows that have grown into forests continue to generate income and encourage farmers and herdsmen to manage and protect these red willow forests well.
