The city of ulaanbaatar, located in the central part of the central autonomous region of china, is characterized by a semi-arid continental monsoon climate in the middle temperate zone, characterized by mountainous and hilly features, with less rainfall. Since the 1990s, thanks to the governance of the country's major ecological rehabilitation projects, large areas of citrus bushes have been planted in 11 municipalities throughout the city. At present, the city of ulaanbaatar has more than 12 million acres of maim bush land, accounting for 72. 6 per cent of bush land, and is one of three allies with more than 10 million acres of maim resources throughout the autonomous region, contributing to the construction of an important ecological safety barrier in the north of the country。
The lemons, with their strong cold-resistant, drought-resistant and infertile characteristics, adapted to the local climatic soil environment in the city of ulaanbaatar, have become important species of wind-resistant sand and soil conservation in the city of ulaanbaatar. In order to accelerate the development of the lemon-coated eco-industry, the city of ulanchab has developed the " implementation programme for the production and use of the lemon-trap resources in the city of ulanchab (2023-2027) " , which plans to use five years to complete the cultivation of 1 million acres of lemon-coated and 2. 5 million acres of flat。
In 2023, the forestry and grassland authority of the city of ulaanbaatar implemented a “multiple plan” for lemon strips, based on projects such as “double” planning, afforestation subsidies, ant forests, grassland management, forest breeding and the “one-size-fits-all” policy. In that year, 500,000 acres of lemon strips were planted, 500,000 acres were flat, and another 800,000 acres are planned for this year. In the arid and rain-poor ulanchabu, the main pattern of ecological restoration is the cultivation of grass, mainly of lemons。
Today, the city of ulanchab, which controls wind and sand in an area of 3. 52 million acres, and the erosion of more than 1 million acres, has reduced the number of wind and wind days in the city by an average of 4 to 6 days per year compared with the pre-construction period, and has significantly reduced the duration and intensity of sand and dust storms。
Lions are not only of high ecological value, but also a good woody feed, which is an important feed resource for drought-resistant livestock in pastoral areas. In order to build the country's critical agricultural and livestock production base and support livestock development, the fifth party of the ulanchab city has proposed "development and development " . “strategic decision-making in the six main industries, namely, mashed potatoes, cow and sheep milk, the multiplication of meat and cattle, the upgrading of meat and goats, and the revitalization of the dairy industry, with the advantage of the resources of lemons, the development of leading enterprises, the extension of the industrial chain, and the development of a strong-grass feed processing industry, which will contribute to the high quality development of animal husbandry throughout the city”。
Thanks to this strategic decision, 12 million acres of lemon stock in the city of ulaanbaatar became an important “building block” for livestock development. The abundance of lemon strips and good economic performance have attracted local feed processing enterprises in the city of ulaanbaatar. At present, there are 32 lemon strip processing enterprises in the city of ulaanbaatar, of which 7 are rural professional cooperatives. The city of ulanchab has developed into one of the more concentrated industrial clusters in northern china. At the same time, lemon feed, which is very popular with local pastoralists, is cheap and has a high utilization rate and can reduce the incidence of disease among livestock. The cost of livestock farming for local pastoralists has been saved and, to some extent, the economic benefits for local pastoralists have increased。
In order to improve the eco-efficiency and economic efficiency of the lemons, and to improve the value-added of their resources, the uranzab city forest grass office, in cooperation with the scientific team, has set up a joint laboratory for the use of the high-valued lemons resources of ulaanbaatar city, which will provide a scientific and technical outlay, complete the link between the lemons industry and widen the path to the development of the diversified health of the industry。
In the future, the uranzab city forest and grass office will continue to focus on the city-wide resource advantage of lemons, continuously exploring and promoting the high value utilization of lemons resources, creating niche industries, eco-industry, rich industries, and making green lemons grow, farm, feed processing, forest economy and so on。
