Wenzhou Network News "Next month, it will be put into use!" Looking at the construction of a seaweed drying factory in front of his home, farmer Chen Shifu was happy. In the Modern Industrial Park of Nori In Dongtou District, the equipment of the nori drying plant has been installed, and the workers are debugging the equipment.
Near the mouth of the Ou river, Neon Island Street is a bridgehead for entering the Dongtou Archipelago. With a total area of about 10 square kilometers and more than 15,000 mu of seaweed farming sea area, Neon Island is the most important production area of Dongtou seaweed.
In recent years, the "Blue Bay Improvement" in Dongtou has continued to advance, further presenting a new scene of "clear water, green shore, clean beach, beautiful bay, abundant materials, and people". Relying on a good industrial foundation, Nieyu Street built a modern industrial park of seaweed with a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan, making up for the shortcomings of the industry from seedlings, breeding, drying, sales and other links, and helping Dongtou successfully win the "Hometown of Chinese Seaweed" golden signboard. Nuggets are "purple" love in the sea, and seaweed is becoming the "rich people's dish" of the island masses.
Invest 1.5 billion yuan to build a modern industrial park
Help the transformation and upgrading of seaweed farming
The beaches in the sea area of Niyu Island are rich in resources and are a natural seaweed breeding base. After decades of development, the production of nori on The Island accounts for more than 80% of the whole area of Dongtou. However, compared with Fujian, Cangnan and other places, the seaweed industry in Nieyu has always had shortcomings such as a single structure, low added value, relatively lagging technological development, and incomplete industrial chain.
"In particular, the lack of seedlings, processing bases and cold chain, drying and other supporting enterprises has long restricted the development and growth of the local seaweed industry." The relevant person in charge of Nieyu Street said that taking the most critical seaweed drying link as an example, because there is no large-scale local drying enterprise, some farmers have to transport the harvested wet seaweed to other places for processing, "Smaller farmers, can not afford the cost of transportation, simply sell wet seaweed to foreign merchants at a low price." "In addition, factors such as insufficient local seaweed seedling capacity and lack of large-scale cold chain logistics have affected the market competitiveness of Neon Island Seaweed."
Next month, with the "152" project in Zhejiang Province and the province's first professional seafood park, the Niyu Nori Modern Industrial Park, coming into use, many bottlenecks in the local seaweed industry will be solved one by one.
Covering an area of 306 acres with a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan, The Modern Industrial Park of Nori Island is an industrial agglomeration platform integrating deep processing, warehousing and logistics, cultural tourism and leisure experience of algae such as nori and sheep perch. The industrial park is equipped with industrial supporting projects such as nursery factories, primary processing plants, and cold chain logistics centers, and has attracted 19 upstream and downstream enterprises mainly engaged in algae processing, covering the whole industrial chain from seaweed seedlings, breeding to drying, deep processing, e-commerce sales, cold chain logistics and so on. The completion of the industrial park has opened up a new situation for the transformation and upgrading of the Dongtou seaweed industry.
Implement the "company + village collective + people" model
Crack the key bottleneck of the seaweed industry
For the drying plant in the park, Chen Shifu, a farmer in Xiashe Village, Niyu Street, has been looking forward to it for a long time. Chen Shifu has a total of dozens of acres of seaweed farming scale. Due to the lack of local drying and processing capacity, most of the wet seaweed he harvested in previous years was directly purchased by traders in Fujian and other places, and only a small amount could be further dried and processed locally.
How big is the price difference between selling wet seaweed directly and selling it after drying? Chen Shifu calculated an account for the reporter. The purchase price of each 500 grams of wet seaweed is generally two or three yuan, the head water seaweed is more expensive, and the last few waters are only about 1 yuan. After 10 kilograms of wet seaweed is processed into 1 kilogram of dried seaweed, the price for each 500 grams ranges from 50 yuan to hundreds of yuan.
"After deducting the processing fee, the income from dried seaweed is about twice as high as that of wet seaweed." Chen Shifu said that the annual income of wet seaweed in an acre of sea area is about 3,000 yuan, and if it can be processed into dried seaweed, the income can be doubled to 6,000 yuan.
In addition to individual farmers such as Chen Shifu, many large local seaweed farming enterprises are also deeply troubled by drying problems. "I have more than 1,000 acres of seaweed in Niyu, and in order to solve the drying problem, I can only cooperate with enterprises in Fujian and send them to the local drying." Zeng Hancai, head of the Wenzhou Nizheng Marine Aquaculture Professional Cooperative, introduced that the export of wet seaweed has also added a lot of additional costs, reducing the market competitiveness of Dongtou seaweed.
For many years, there were only a few small drying workshops in Neon Island, which were of low technical level and more polluted. Many local enterprises have also tried to set up professional drying plants, but they have given up after a deep understanding. "A set of professional drying equipment, from purchase to installation requires more than 10 million yuan, but also needs professional technical support." Zeng Hancai told reporters that the bigger restriction is the water source, "in the process of drying seabill, a lot of fresh water is consumed, and the island lacks well water, river water and other resources, and the cost of using tap water is too high." ”
With the support of dongtou district island revitalization funds, in April this year, Niyu Street and 10 villages under its jurisdiction jointly invested about 20 million yuan to buy back a building of Nori Modern Garden, which was uniformly operated by the Niyu Street Agricultural Development Company. The 1st-2nd floor of the building is used as a drying plant and is contracted and operated by the Nizheng Marine Aquaculture Professional Cooperative in Dongtou District through investment promotion.
"The drying plant is a key supporting facility for the seaweed industry, and ordinary breeding enterprises are unable to do it, so the street intervenes in time to take the lead." The relevant person in charge of Nieyu Street told reporters that under the coordination of the street, the drying plant will call on the local reservoir fresh water to solve the problem of production water, "Through our original 'company + village collective + raise people' model, the added value of Neon Island seaweed will be significantly improved." ”
According to estimates, the annual output value of the drying plant can reach 600 million yuan, creating 10,000 jobs for the society, and the average annual income of the village collective has reached 600,000 yuan, doubling the output value, employment and village collective income.
Play a good combination of industrial supporting punches
Growing "Rich People's Vegetables" at Sea
For local farmers, the industrial park not only solves the important bottleneck of drying difficulties, but also comprehensively makes up for a series of industrial shortcomings.
In the past, Dongtou lacked a high-quality seedling base, and many farmers could only buy seaweed seedlings from other places. In February this year, the new breeding base of Nori Modern Garden, a sub-project of Nori Modern Garden, was completed and put into use. Among them, the total investment of seaweed seedling greenhouse is about 6.5 million yuan, focusing on the technical requirements of new seaweed seedlings, with the three parts of the cultivation room, the cultivation pool and the reservoir as the main content, with the management room, observation room, equipment room and other supporting functions, the first modern vegetable seedling production base in Dongtou has been built. Dongtou's native seaweed seedlings are insufficient and of low quality, which has since become history.
In terms of scientific and technological support, the industrial park currently introduces 8 scientific research institutions with normal cooperation, establishes 13 workstations, and has 5 academicians. Among them, the Wenzhou Yellow Croaker Research Institute of Zhejiang University has settled in the park, and the scientific research institutes such as the College of Oceanography of Zhejiang University, the Zhejiang Marine Aquaculture Research Institute and the Wenzhou Vocational and Technical College have been settled in the park as project scientific research cooperation units, which will provide strong technical support for local fishery aquaculture, including seaweed, in the future.
While continuously improving the industrial supporting facilities, the marine ecological environment of Dongtou has also been continuously improved with the construction of the "Blue Bay". "The water is clearer, the sea is bluer, and the quality of seaweed is better!" Chen Shifu said that the "breaking the embankment to the sea" project implemented last year opened a section of the Lingni levee and allowed the north and south seas of The Island to converge again, "After breaking the dike to open the sea, the salinity of the seawater on both sides of the levee was neutralized and became more suitable for the growth of seaweed." ”
With the continuous improvement of industrial infrastructure and the breakthrough of factor constraints, seaweed has increasingly become a "rich people's dish" for the island masses. In 2020, the average output value of nori mu is more than 4,000 yuan, an increase of 20% year-on-year, and the average annual income of fishermen and farmers is 220,000 yuan, and it is expected to increase its income by 10,000 yuan in 2021.
A set of combination punches

As the hometown of Chinese seaweed, seaweed farming in Dongtou District is not only an important traditional industry, but also an important way to move towards common prosperity in the future. The "Wenzhou Action Plan for Building a Model City for High-quality Development and Building a Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone (2021-2025)" clearly states that it is necessary to accelerate the development of the island area, improve the infrastructure of the island area, and solve key problems such as transportation, water use, and public service facilities.
For the seaweed breeding industry in Dongtou, the construction of the seaweed modern industrial park is the most important basic supporting facility in recent years. Relying on the "combination fist" of a set of basic configurations such as seedlings, processing, cold chain, and scientific research in the industrial park, the development of the Dongtou seaweed industry has realized the upgrading and iteration of the whole industrial chain.
The completion of the industrial park, first of all, has initially created a relatively complete industrial chain of seaweed breeding, enhanced the added value of products, enhanced the competitiveness of Dongtou seaweed, and will further promote the brand of Dongtou seaweed.
Secondly, it has promoted the increase of fishermen's production and income. The industrial park can provide farmers with excellent seaweed seeds, drive the renewal of breeding technology, facilitate the deep processing of seaweed, and broaden the sales channels of seaweed, so that farmers can achieve better economic benefits.
Finally, it is necessary to further strengthen the collective assets of the village and boost the revitalization of the island countryside. As the only sea-land linkage maritime pastoral complex project in the province, The Seaweed Modern Industrial Park uses industrial development to consolidate the foundation for the revitalization of the island countryside.
