A few days ago, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology identified 10 counties (districts) as the province's key industrial chain pilot counties (districts), and Anxi County became the only pilot county selected in Quanzhou City.
In recent years, under the guidance of new industrialization, Anxi County has accelerated the transformation of traditional industries and the development of emerging industries, forming eight industrial chains, including tea, rattan iron household craft, optoelectronics, building materials smelting, equipment manufacturing, information technology, food, health and health products, laying a solid foundation and providing strong support for the high-quality development of the county's economy. In 2023, the industrial output value of the eight major industries above designated size in Anxi County will account for about 80% of the total output value of the county's industrial enterprises above designated size.

Strengthen traditional characteristic industries
The cost saving and efficiency increase per mu is more than 3,000 yuan, and the average income of tea farmers increases by 15%! Recently, Anxi's "Tieguanyin Carbon Neutral Ecological Demonstration Tea Garden" has come out with exciting news.
In 2021, relying on the special workstation of the Anxi Tea Industry Carbon Neutrality Research Institute, the Anxi Tea College of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and Niannian Xiangcha Manor will join hands to launch a "carbon neutrality practice" in the tea industry - through remote sensing satellites, cloud technology and Internet of Things technology, build a low-carbon ecosystem of "ecological restoration + environmental monitoring + linkage control + quality traceability".
After three years of practice, this system covers more than 100,000 acres of tea plantations in Anxi. "To carry out innovative research, promotion and application of carbon reduction technologies in the tea industry, we aim to gather the innovation resources of first-class scientific research teams and institutes in China with the help of platforms such as research institutes, build an emerging tea industry chain, talent chain and innovation chain, and lead the green and low-carbon transformation of Anxi tea industry." The relevant person in charge of the Anxi County Tea Management Committee Office said.
Anxi is a county based on the real economy, and the development of a number of traditional characteristic industries such as tea processing, rattan iron household crafts, and building materials smelting has created a good story of Anxi moving from a national poverty-stricken county to one of the top 100 counties in the country. To this day, these industries are still the most representative industrial symbols of Anxi, and they are also the thickest family foundation of Anxi.
In the face of the new situation, how to stimulate the vitality of the development of traditional industries and make the family business more solid? Anxi makes efforts to "new" and promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries with scientific and technological innovation. Launch the Tieguanyin remote sensing satellite, build cloud platforms such as "digital tea industry", promote the implementation and transformation of oolong tea intelligent processing projects, and realize the informatization and intelligence of the whole process of tea production; In the construction of the platform, talent introduction and training, extension of the chain to supplement the chain, to accelerate the rattan iron home craft industry cluster development and innovation and transformation......

In 2023, the comprehensive output value of the tea industry in Anxi County will be 36.2 billion yuan, and the total output value of the rattan iron home craft industry will be 28.6 billion yuan.
To "new" force, not only in scientific and technological innovation, but also in the development of new industrial formats and new models.
During the National Day holiday, the Xiangqing craft-themed B&B located in Shangqing Township, Anxi County, has continued to receive orders. As the first craft culture theme B&B in Anxi, Xiangqing B&B combines strong tea country folk elements with high-end ironwood home furnishings, attracting many tourists to come to stay and experience.
Behind the construction of Xiangqing B&B is Anxi's innovation to promote the development of new forms of traditional industries and promote the integration of three industries, especially tea. With a strong refined tea processing industry chain, Anxi has driven the rapid development of tea packaging, tea machinery, tea utensils, tea e-commerce, and tea supply chain. Among them, the annual sales of tea e-commerce exceed 10 billion yuan; Nearly 300,000 tons of tea are processed and sold by Anxi every year, accounting for about 1/10 of the annual tea trading volume in the country, and Anxi has become the capital of tea trade.

Expand the emerging technology industry
On September 24th, a special signing event for new quality productivity investment promotion projects with the theme of "Cohesion Industry New Track and New Engine for Development" was held in Quanzhou. Anxi County Minhua new energy and intelligent production line capital increase and expansion project, 2GWH lithium battery production base, condensation biotechnology capital increase and expansion of three projects successfully signed, with a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan.
In order to develop the county's economy, it is necessary not only to keep the "old home" well, but also to make good use of the "new support". In recent years, Anxi County has continued to open up new tracks, cultivate and expand strategic emerging industries, and emerging industries such as optoelectronics, information technology, and equipment manufacturing have risen rapidly, and the county's economic content has increased year by year.
"Substrate processing technology can now achieve low warpage, low bending, and a high degree of flattening, and the defect rate can be controlled to a very low level." In the production workshop of Fujian Jing'an Optoelectronics in Quanzhou Xingu Anxi Branch, batches of automated production equipment are constantly running, and pieces of sapphire substrates are produced from them. Thanks to the breakthrough of key technologies, this product was awarded the national manufacturing individual champion last year.
As the first batch of enterprises to settle in Quanzhou Xingu Anxi Branch, Jing'an Optoelectronics has witnessed the jump in the output value of Anxi County's optoelectronic industry from zero to 10 billion.

In 2011, Jing'an Optoelectronics settled in Anxi. As the only professional manufacturer in the industry with a full chain from crystal growth, substrate processing to graphic substrate output, Jingan Optoelectronics is upstream in the entire LED industry. With Jing'an Optoelectronics as the leader, Anxi focuses on the upstream and downstream supporting and key links of the industrial chain, and promotes the optoelectronic industry to form clusters and clusters.
It has the top LED packaging manufacturer in China, Xinda Optoelectronics, the top 3 in the comprehensive strength of the domestic lighting packaging industry, and Zhongke San'an, which has the world's largest single LED plant factory...... Focusing on Jing'an Optoelectronics to attract investment and chain investment, Anxi has introduced 20 optoelectronic enterprises and built an optoelectronic industry chain covering "substrate-packaging-application", with an output value of 14.8 billion yuan in 2023, and has been rated as a provincial and national characteristic industrial cluster for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Relying on the digital Fujian (Anxi) Industrial Park, we will continue to make efforts in the two advantageous tracks of aerospace and film and television, implement the constellation plan and film and television restoration, and the information technology industry has developed rapidly; The introduction of Zhengfeng CNC, Dacheng Intelligent and other leading enterprises, the formation of tea machinery, intelligent CNC, environmental protection machinery, power manufacturing and other characteristic advantage industries, equipment manufacturing industry quality and expansion......
