Following the bumpy road, the car turned around to the top of the maghong tea park in guangshan district, sinyang city, henan province。
Look out, there's a mountain full of oil and tea and onions and a thumb-sized tea and fruit full of branches. The mountains were green and green, and the ponds and rice fields in the valley were so well integrated that a painting of a mountain garden was made。
On top of the mountain, chen shifa, the manager of the sema gwang oil tea park, is telling the guest the story of oil tea: “the tea is good, it does not compete with food, it results in more than 100 years, and the tea oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acid, good quality, industrial chain, value added, known as `orient olive oil'.”

At the foot of the hill, machines were raging in tea and oil processing plants, and gold oil was constantly flowing out of the automated production line。
Oil tea is a country-specific, high-quality woody oil crop that has been cultivated for over 2000 years. The current national cultivation of more than 70 million acres and the annual production of tea and oil up to 1 million tons are important supplements to the country's food and oil security。
General secretary xi has been concerned with the development of the oil and tea industry. During the 2015 national convergence, the secretary-general, xi jinping, during the proceedings of the jiangxi delegation, sent a letter from the king of the 100-year-old red army, in which he expressed the hope that the state would increase its support for pro-poor industries, such as the tea tea and oil, and said to the comrades in charge of the ministry present that this could be done。
In 2019, in kim autumn, general secretary xi jinping came to the sema light oil tea park during a study tour in henan to see the success of the local industry's efforts to lift itself out of poverty and to learn more about the local development of the oil and tea industry, stressing that “the road must be found and the oil and tea industry must be bold enough to do well” and that “the efforts to achieve economic development, increased farmers' incomes and ecological well-being should be pursued”。
“the words of the secretary-general have been the driving force behind us.” recalling that the secretary-general had been informed about the oil and tea plantations and the united farming community, chen shi'a said with excitement that “over the years, we have been trying to figure out how to make the oil and tea industry better”
Feel the call of the home country, chen shi'a, to start a business in 2008. With regard to the potential for the development of the tea, he was shifting to over 5,000 acres on the slopes of the wasteland and planting the tea tree。
The city of sinyang, located in the mountainous area of the capital, has a long history of growing oil and tea trees, and it is still possible to find 300-year-old oil and tea trees in the mountains. When these seed resources were discovered, chen was surprised. He led a team working with universities and research institutes to develop new varieties of oil and tea trees suitable for growing in the mountainous regions of the country, and a well-established breeding base of 200 acres has been built。

It's thin, it's strong, it's strong, it's strong. With this gift, the little oily tea tree can be a big article。
Shinyang is the main growing area of henan oil and tea, and in 2020 henan province introduced a policy to increase support for the construction and breeding of oil and tea bases, including financial resources, scientific and technological innovation。
Today, chen shifa's oil and tea base has been expanded to 216,000 acres, producing 360 tons of tea and oil annually, leading more than 3,000 farmers in the vicinity, as well as increasing numbers of people growing oil and tea。
Since 2019, 835 million acres of new oil tea have been grown in kwangshan county and 6569 million acres of new oil forest in sinyang city. “the oil and tea tree” became the “sharp-money tree” of the people。
“for the past six years, oil and tea trees have become thicker, oil and tea plantations have expanded, production facilities have become more sophisticated, industrial chains have grown longer, and people in the countryside are looking forward to seeing the general secretary again.” chen's law says。
The high cost of production of oil and tea, which has better economic benefits, has resulted in higher prices, which is an important constraint on the development of the oil and tea industry。
“the secretary-general proposes to `maintain the path of green development, promote new technologies and develop further processing'. On the one hand, we improve quality and yields through breeding, while on the other hand, we extend them to the industrial chain through sophisticated processing, so that they are `drinking', adding value and reducing combined costs. "shinyang city forest authority director u kukyu said:。

How to increase the technological content of oil and tea processing and extract better tea oil has been considered by the law. In 2020, he introduced tea and oil cooling and refining processes. The new process retains more nutrients, removes harmful substances and improves the quality of tea and oil than traditional thermal processes。
The industry is new, the landscape is beautiful. While the fine processing of oil and tea has brought economic benefits to enterprises, the four seasons of green oil and tea trees have also turned the old desert mountains into hot spots for tourism and recreation, with growing social and ecological benefits。
The villagers of the village of zhao wan, the town of sinyang city and the town of the temple, targeted the oil and tea trees and read the book. He had previously contracted 1,000 acres of wasteland in the back of the house and planted oiled tea trees, which were green throughout the year. Today, he is more dependent on the oil and tea forests, developing his own family's home, turning the ponds in front of his home into fishing grounds, and creating the "oil and tea plus" that attracts many tourists。
“in addition to revenue from oil and tea, an additional $100,000 can be recorded in one year. We stick to the path of green development, and life is getting better and better.” zhao said。
High-quality oil and tea plantations are one of the keys to extracting “oriental olive oil” and are vital in improving the quality and production of tea and oil. New varieties are being developed not only in henan, but also in the country's oil and tea-producing regions。
Hunan is the first province to grow oil and tea, growing a variety of oil and tea, the “single forest” series and the “sichuan” series, with an area of between 8 and 10 million acres nationwide。
In hunan, the oil and tea industry has also continued to develop towards precision processing. As the hunan tea dragon enterprise, hunan grand sancho tea oil co. Ltd. Owns 40,000 acres of a demonstration oil tea plantation. “we now produce not only tea oil, but also by-products, which produce more than 50 single items, such as skins, detergents, baths, etc., at around $450 million a year.” the director of the company's business management said。
The director of the national centre for research on oil and tea engineering technology and chief expert on oil and tea, hunan academy of forestry sciences, chen yongzhong, said that the derivatives and refined processed products of oil and tea, such as cosmetics, washing and health care, were mature. The value of oil and tea derivatives and refined processed products in hunan province is currently around $10 billion, and the potential in this area can be estimated at $50 billion。
The oil and tea forests not only collect oil and fruit, but also “sell air” to help farmers to grow, and the ecological value of oil and tea continues to rise。
In november last year, the first 4202. 27 tons of oil and tea forest carbon remittance were traded online at a trade price of $50 per ton in the city of hengzhou, jiangxi province。
The officer-in-charge of the heung county forestry service explained that, on the basis of 20 years of carbon remittances, the value of the new 174,000 acres of oil and tea in heung county would be more than $51 million, with an average acre yielding nearly $15 per year for farmers。
Grow good tea trees and produce happy fruit. “last year, our company's revenues amounted to $88 million, sema guang tea park received 120,000 visitors, distributed more than $6 million in labour costs for rural workers, and achieved economic, social and ecological benefits `three harvests'. Our path is right!” chen's law says。
