Is Chaozhou Raoping economically developed?

Raoping county has a solid agricultural foundation and a long history of farming. There are many kinds of agricultural and sideline products, mainly rice, sugarcane, peanuts, tea, litchi, citrus and aquatic products. In terms of industrial development, a series of industries such as machinery, food, ceramics, clothing, textiles, medicine and aquatic products processing have been formed by taking advantage of the advantages of natural resources and the development of agricultural and sideline products in the county. In addition, Raoping County takes Huanggang, Qiandong Industrial Park, Sanrao and Xinfeng Ceramic Industrial Park as carriers, and increases infrastructure investment in key industrial parks to create a good investment environment. The town's infrastructure construction is being strengthened, and the county roads have basically achieved township roads. Starting from Zhelin Port, through Datang Power Plant and Huafeng Gasification Plant to the entrance road of National Highway 324, the highway and overhaul project in the northern region has been basically completed. In terms of energy supply, a trinity power supply network of hydropower, thermal power and electricity saving has been formed, and the completion and commissioning of Datang Power Plant has greatly improved the shortage of electricity in summer. Great progress has also been made in posts and telecommunications, science, education and health.

However, due to its location in the eastern edge of Guangdong Province, its lack of contact with the inside and outside of the province, its original economic base is relatively weak, its regional resource advantages are not fully exerted, and its investment environment is not satisfactory. Compared with advanced counties and cities in Guangdong Province, there is still a big gap. For example, in 2005, the GDP of Raoping County was 72 1.3 billion yuan, far lower than that of Zengcheng District in the Pearl River Delta region (GDP was 25.526 billion yuan). Therefore, according to the actual situation of Raoping County, we should give full play to regional advantages, learn from each other's strong points, formulate the economic development strategy of Raoping County, and accelerate social and economic development and urban construction.

Problems in social and economic development

1 Low cultural quality of the labor force.

Due to the large population, the lack of compulsory education and the influence of traditional ideas, many people (especially women) failed to complete the nine-year compulsory education, or even read only primary schools. This situation has improved at present, but the remaining problem is that the middle-aged labor force has low cultural quality and can only engage in jobs with low cultural skills. In addition, in educating children, many people insist on the traditional concept that studying is not as good as making money, which also affects the education level of the new generation to some extent.

The fifth census shows that the education level in Raoping County is obviously lower than the national average. This will greatly restrict the future economic development of Raoping County.

2 irrational use of land resources

Raoping County has many mountains, few flat lands and small cultivated land. The average cultivated land area is 19065 hectares, and the per capita cultivated land area is 0.020 hectares, which is far below the national average (0.083 hectares per capita). Unreasonable land use and land waste have long existed. In recent years, the phenomenon of farmers occupying cultivated land to build houses is prominent, and there are widespread "one household with two houses", "one household with multiple houses" and "hollow villages". Many local government cadres enclose land (cultivated land) for their own benefit and sell it to farmers to build houses. Due to the small per capita arable land, many crops such as grain and vegetables cannot be self-sufficient; There is also a surplus of agricultural labor. To this end, a large number of young and middle-aged laborers go out to work, leaving behind old and weak laborers. This has had a negative impact on the popularization and application of advanced agricultural technology, and also caused the abandonment of some cultivated land. The above situation is very unfavorable to the agricultural development of Raoping County.

3. The advantages of local resources have not been brought into full play.

Raoping county is rich in agricultural products, but people in many places are only satisfied with self-sufficiency, and the harvested agricultural products are limited to their own consumption; The agricultural products sold are also limited to primary processed products, or even completely unprocessed. The advantages of enriching agricultural products resources have not been fully exerted. In Raoping County, the proportion of the secondary industry is not high. One of the reasons for the slow growth of the proportion of the secondary industry is that the county failed to process primary products and increase the proportion of the secondary industry.

In addition, there are a large number of idle laborers in rural areas, especially married young women. These people have no other jobs except a few farm jobs. This is also the main reason for the flood of "Mark Six Lottery" in Raoping County in recent years.

4. Natural disasters have great influence on social and economic development.

Raoping County is located in the South China Sea. Typhoon, rainstorm, floods, landslides and mudslides caused by them pose a great threat to the safety of people's lives and property in Raoping County. There are 3~4 typhoons affecting the county every year, with an average of 3.3. Typhoon has a great influence on aquaculture in the southern coastal areas, and aquaculture will suffer certain losses every year. The heavy rainfall brought by typhoon will bring floods, landslides, mudslides and other disasters to coastal low-lying areas and northern mountainous hills. Typhoon Billis in 2006 caused huge losses to Raoping County: the affected population reached 820,000, resulting in 2 1 death, 126 villages were flooded, 37 landslides occurred, and 5,350 houses were damaged, of which 1.540 were completely collapsed and seriously damaged1.

5 Other issues

In addition to the above problems, Raoping County also faces the following problems: the rural economy is backward, the burden of building a new socialist countryside is heavy, the regional development is unbalanced, and the efforts to coordinate regional development need to continue to increase; The social security situation is not optimistic, various conflicts of interest and social security problems are still outstanding, and the pressure to maintain social stability is still great. In addition, government corruption is serious in many areas, and foreign investors are taxed too much.

New Strategy of Economic Development in Raoping County

According to the actual situation of Raoping County, a new county socio-economic development strategy was formulated in time. Seize the opportunity, give full play to the advantages of regional resources, build a new socialist countryside, and rectify the internal corruption of the government, paving the way for the all-round and rapid social and economic development of Raoping County.

The above-mentioned problems in the social and economic development of Raoping County must be solved by taking corresponding measures. For example, the problem of low quality of labor force can be solved by accelerating universal education, including popularizing nine-year compulsory education, popularizing high school education and encouraging university education. For the adult labor force, appropriate vocational training should be carried out, such as tea skills training and scientific rice planting methods training in Dan Cong as a production leader. In terms of land use, we should strictly correct the phenomenon of land abuse, strengthen land management and supervision, rationally plan land, and implement the land system by compulsory measures.

In order to better attract foreign investment and create a good environment for foreign investment, we must formulate some preferential policies in addition to improving infrastructure construction. For example, reduce the land rent of enterprises, reduce the standard of water and electricity charges of enterprises, and reduce exorbitant taxes. In addition, through the establishment of Raoping Chamber of Commerce and Economic Promotion Association in major cities, and through different ways, the image of Raoping County is actively improved.

Vigorously developing tourism service industry is one of the important ways of Raoping's economic development. The development of tourism can drive the development of other related industries, and it is an industrial sector with "less investment and more benefits". According to the characteristics of tourism resources in Raoping County, the tourism development in Raoping County should closely rely on the resources of "sea, mountain, city, history and river", vigorously develop coastal fishery tourism, leisure agricultural tourism and cultural and historical tourism, and provide sightseeing, leisure vacation, experience and business tourism products.
