The Economy of Qujiang Town

Qujiang belongs to Zhexi reservoir area, with more than 2,700 immigrants. Due to the serious flood losses, there are long-standing special difficulties such as forest and grain competing for land and traffic congestion, and economic and social development is restricted.

Cultivated land is mostly listed soil and hilly land, and the soil fertility is insufficient. Because the total output of grain per unit area is not high, the per capita self-produced grain is only more than 200 kilograms all the year round. Rice accounts for about 60% of the total output. More than 1000 tons of grain must be purchased from other places every year, accounting for about 25% of people's daily food. To this end, the provincial government implemented grain subsidies for immigrants, with a subsidy of 394,000 yuan in 1996 and about 1 10,000 yuan annually thereafter.

The town identified two key forestry villages 12, took out 970,000 Jin of forest grain, and the whole government sold 450,000 Jin of grain to support returning farmland to forest. By 1989, returning farmland to forests 16500 mu, afforestation in barren hills of 890 mu, closing hillsides for afforestation of 3 1200 mu, and transformation of residual forests of 460 mu. The annual timber harvesting should be controlled at around1500 ~ 2000m3. In 2000, the forestry income was 650,600 yuan, and the forest volume in the whole town was 1.453 square meters.
