Tea Garden, together to expand the scale
Guangxi Wuzhou Fuye Tea Co., Ltd., which is sprinting towards the target this year, was only a cooperative in Buyi Village, Liubao Town, Cangwu County ten years ago, providing simple Maocha Production and OEM. At that time, the Liupao tea industry in our city had just started, and Liupao Tea was faced with the dilemma that the local raw tea raw materials could not meet the production requirements of the enterprise. Due to the insufficient planting area of tea gardens in the city, the annual output of local Mao tea is not enough for the production needs of a leading enterprise in the city.
"Accelerating the construction of local tea gardens" has become a common urgent cry of tea people, and it has become a breakthrough for the municipal party committee and municipal government to resolve the predicament of industrial development.
In the past ten years, the planting area of tea gardens has increased year by year, but it still cannot meet the needs of the development of Liubao tea industry. In 2021, our city will launch a battle for the construction of ecological tea gardens. Municipal Party Secretary Jiang Liansheng, Mayor Zhong Changzi and other city leaders led the city to develop tea seedlings, set an example for the construction of tea gardens, and lead the charge. In the major tea gardens in our city, local party members, cadres and the masses work together to grow tea, which has become a beautiful landscape in our city.
