The Advantages Of Characteristic Industries And Agricultural Planting Technologies Will Go Abroad Along The Ancient Silk Road

Xinjiang, located in the northwest of our country, has always been a must-pass and an important commercial port on the ancient Silk Road. Through the accumulation of a long river, it has integrated the vast Central Plains culture, the brilliant Silk Road culture, the mysterious Western Xia culture, the bold border culture, the ancient Yellow River civilization, and the simple Hui ethnic customs. Its unique cultural history and natural landscape have formed a colorful and charming picture.

The role of Xinjiang is gradually recognized. There are not only Hotan Jade, but also the grape industry comparable to Bordeaux in France, and the emerging modern agriculture; We are also building a comprehensive center that serves multiple platforms for domestic and foreign trade, finance, culture, education, medical care, tourism, cotton industry, and horticulture exhibitions. This center is also committed to becoming an important hub for China to "bring in" and "go out" with neighboring countries and other regions around the world. The Hotan region in Xinjiang is an area with agriculture as the main economy. In recent years, with the care and support of the central and autonomous regions, and the assistance of developed inland areas such as Beijing and Zhejiang Province, the people of all ethnic groups in Hotan have fully implemented the scientific development concept under the correct leadership of the prefecture committee and administrative bureau, seized the "three major opportunities", built the "five major bases" (forest and fruit horticulture base, characteristic planting base, characteristic breeding base, energy and mineral development base, characteristic Uyghur medicine and ethnic traditional processing base), achieved the strategic goal of "enriching the people, strengthening the region, and consolidating the border", and achieved rapid economic development and continuous social progress.

Xinjiang's agricultural products have distinctive characteristics. With the continuous double-digit growth of Hotan Jade, carpets, silk, Uygur medicine, tubular cistanche, ass hide glue, Hami melon, roses, sesame seed sugar, grapes, and other distinctive industries, 13 distinctive agricultural products industry belts have been formed. Xinjiang's grape production and sales account for over 60% of the country's total. In addition to traditional high-end markets such as Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, it is also expanding into markets in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Currently, it has reached nearly 50 countries and regions. The export products are no longer limited to dried fruits. Grapes, Hami melons, and Hotan Jade in Xinjiang have also gone abroad. Walnut cultivation in Xinjiang has a long history and is widely distributed in both northern and southern Xinjiang. Farming is especially common in the oases around the Tarim Basin. Xinjiang walnuts are sold annually to the mainland and exported to foreign countries and coastal areas. In addition, in recent years, after being approved by authoritative national departments, Xinjiang Hotan has been awarded titles such as "Hometown of Chinese Red Willow and Big Cloud", "Hometown of Chinese Walnuts", "Hometown of Chinese Pomegranate", and "Famous City of Chinese Handmade Wool Carpets". Various unique advantageous resources highlight unlimited business opportunities.
