Through the unremitting efforts of generations of Pingyin people, Pingyin's rose industry continues to grow and develop.

"Policy-based insurance + contract farming"

Consolidate the foundation for the development of the rose industry

To achieve the multi-format development of the whole industrial chain, it is inseparable from the basic support of the primary industry. In recent years, Pingyin County has been steadily developing the primary industry, committed to building an organic, green and ecological rose base, and successfully established a national agricultural standardization demonstration zone, a provincial modern agricultural industrial park, and a national geographical indication protection demonstration zone. At present, the rose planting area in Pingyin County has reached 60,000 mu, with more than 100 kinds of rose cultivars, with an annual output of 20,000 tons of rose flowers.

In order to improve land utilization rate and expand the scale of rose planting, Pingyin County actively develops weir and roadside roses, encourages intercropping of flower grains and anthers, digs deep 78,000 acres of available land space, and steadily increases the planting area of roses. In addition, try the "enclave" model, actively export Pingyin roses to other places, alleviate the pressure of cultivated land in the county, transfer part of the primary processing capacity, and make room for promoting the high-end development of the industry.

In terms of enriching planting varieties, we will increase the introduction and cultivation of Bulgarian white roses, Damascus roses and other varieties suitable for intensive processing of cosmetics, further enrich the types of rose raw materials, and also provide sufficient raw material support for the development of the rose industry.

In order to dispel the concerns of flower farmers, Pingyin County implements a new model of "policy insurance + order agriculture", and the income per mu of rose planting is 3,000 yuan higher than that of ordinary crops, which improves the enthusiasm of flower farmers.

It is reported that this year, Pingyin County will also promote the construction of rose germplasm resource bank, focusing on germplasm protection, scientific research, variety cultivation and other aspects, to build the country's first rose germplasm resource bank. Relying on the national reserve forest project, expand the rose planting area by 2,000 acres and strengthen the foundation for the development of the rose industry.

Rose + cultural tourism, rose + e-commerce, rose + service and other models continue to emerge, and the deep integration of the rose industry with cultural tourism, e-commerce, exhibition and other industries continues to innovate and promote.

In recent years, Pingyin County has vigorously developed the e-commerce economy, relying on the new model of "live broadcast + e-commerce" integrated retail, increasing the R&D and promotion of intelligent rose picking, and promoting the digital construction of the rose industry. In order to allow enterprises to reduce costs, Pingyin County and Ali Digital Village have reached a cooperation intention to build a local warehouse in Pingyin to shorten logistics costs.

The coordinated development of the whole industrial chain has promoted the Pingyin rose industry to achieve quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement, injecting new vitality into economic development.
