Oil tea cultivation benefiting Guizhou farmers

The harvest season has just begun. Over 3,000 acres of unused land have been converted to ecological oil tea growing in the Yiguang Mountain Forest Oil Tea Ecological Park in recent years, making efficient use of local resources.

Local villagers now have job options thanks to this project, which has raised their income and encouraged rural revitalization.

Currently, one of Guizhou province's biggest, most standardized, and best-run oil tea cultivation bases is the Yiguang Mountain Forest Oil Tea Ecological Park.

Because oil tea takes a long time to produce, the ecological park also grows medicinal fruits and herbs, following the development paradigm of "leveraging the mountains to support the mountains and using short-term crops to support long-term ones."

In Guizhou's hilly areas, this method has emerged as a cutting-edge illustration of contemporary, effective agriculture.

The Chinese Academy of Forestry, Guizhou Academy of Sciences, and Guizhou University are among the research organizations that have recognized the Yiguang Mountain Forest Oil Tea Ecological Park as an experimental foundation for oil tea cultivation. In addition to teaching more than 600 experienced farmers and more than 3,000 "technology disseminators" planting and breeding methods, it has been used as a trial ground for ecological, mountain, circular, and three-dimensional agriculture.
