The natural distribution center of Lily plants. There are about 100 species of Lily plants in the world, of which more than 43 species are native to my country. Lily is a world-famous flower, and Yanping District is the origin of many varieties of lilies in my country. In 1983, a natural lily breeding base was opened in Mangdang Mountain Scenic Area, where more than 40,000 lilies were cultivated, with 26 varieties. In addition to purple and green, the flower colors include pink, crimson, milk yellow, orange, milk white, etc. Everything you need.

Xiayang Osmanthus Cake

The making of the cake has a history of more than 100 years and is famous at home and abroad. It is made by removing the residue from the natural osmanthus minced juice and storing it in the cellar for 3 years. Then it is taken out and prepared with cinnamon, woody incense, musk, mother clove, agarwood, cyperus, peilan and other Chinese medicinal spices that strengthen the spleen and transform qi, and then refine it into "osmanthus sauce" ", then mix it into fried, ground, steamed and finely sifted glutinous rice flour, add high-quality white sugar, five-spice powder, sesame seeds, and salt water to make a cake, and then moisten it with water vapor to keep it for a long time. When broken into pieces, it becomes a delicious pastry that is sweet, delicious, refreshing and invigorating.

Chrysanthemum

Before and after the Qingming Festival, people often go to the fields to collect chrysanthemums (a type of chrysanthemum), removing the roots and thick stems, leaving the young stems, leaves and yellow flowers. After washing, boil it briefly in boiling water, mix it into steamed and pounded glutinous rice, then pound it, and use a mold to press it into a patterned round or square shape. After cooling, dry it slightly and then use it for processing. edible. Chrysanthemum is slightly grassy green, has chrysanthemum fragrance, is fragrant and palatable, is a refreshing and detoxifying food, and is a popular hand-processed food at the turn of spring and summer. Because chrysanthemum uses fresh seasonal grass, people call it "seasonal and expensive".

Shiitake mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms, also known as mushrooms and mushrooms, are treasures among edible fungi and have been cultivated artificially for more than 1,000 years. "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" both talk about the edible and medicinal value of shiitake mushrooms.

Wuyi Rock Tea

Wuyi Rock Tea began in the imperial edict and flourished in the Song Dynasty. Because rock tea grows in the natural environment of Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area with special soil quality, moisture, light and fog, its color, aroma and taste are unique. It has been famous at home and abroad as a Wuyi treasure since ancient times. Fan Zhongyan wrote a poem praising: "The wonderful tea by the stream is the best in the world, and Wuyi immortals have been recorded since ancient times."

Fujian bamboo shoots

Fujian bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots are important products of Wuyi Mountain, that is, domestically produced bamboo shoots. The famous Fujian bamboo shoots. Fujian bamboo shoots are crisp, tender and sweet, and are known as the "Eight Fujian Mountain Treasures".

China is an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years. It has rich physical resources: coal resources, natural gas, oil, crystal, Nanyang jade, Hotan jade, iron ore, Chinese herbal medicine; rich tourism Resources such as Yellow Crane Tower, Stork Tower, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, Xi'an Ancient City Wall, Shanxi Wutai Mountain, Datong Yungang Grottoes, Taiyuan Jin Temple, Yellow River Iron Bull, Yao Temple, Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Yonghe Temple , Summer Palace, Sichuan Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Mount Emei, Mount Tai, Mount Huang, Mount Huashan, Mount Song, Mount Heng, Mount Heng, Mount Jiuhua, Mount Putuo; food crop resources: wheat, rice, cotton, peanuts, etc.

Yak< /p>

Yak is a unique livestock resource of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a breed of cattle that adapts to the special ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and makes full use of forage resources in alpine areas for animal production. It is an important economic foundation and pillar industry in alpine pastoral areas. The development of yak It is of great significance to improve the living standards of the Tibetan people, prosper the economy of pastoral areas, and help herders get rid of poverty and become rich. Currently, the Tibet Autonomous Region has the largest number of yaks, about 4.5 million, followed by Qinghai Province with about 3.6 million, and Sichuan Province in third.

The yak is known as the universal livestock on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Yak meat is of good quality, with protein content as high as 21%-22%, fat 2%-3%, and milk dry matter content about 18%. Its plush is second only to cashmere. Yak down has good textile properties and cowhide has good texture. The series of foods produced from yak as raw materials are authentic "green foods". As a unique livestock breed of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its special status in the production and life of the Tibetan people, as well as the multi-purpose development direction of meat, milk, skin and hair, the Tibetan yak has unique development potential.

2. Cashmere goats

Cashmere goats have a long history of raising in Tibet and are world-renowned for their excellent cashmere quality. Due to geographical location and natural factors, cashmere in most areas of Tibet has Cashmere quality ranks first in the world in terms of average fiber fineness, average length, elasticity, gloss and other indicators.

Cashmere goats are mainly distributed in the Ngari region and the west of the Nagqu region. The Ritu goat is a typical representative of Tibetan cashmere goats. Each kilogram of raw cashmere can produce 0.4-0.8 kilograms of hairless cashmere, with an average length of 4.5-6.0 cm and a fineness of less than 14 microns. In the main distribution areas of cashmere goats, 80% of herdsmen's cash income comes from cashmere goats, and 40%-50% of county-level fiscal revenue comes from cashmere goats. The production status of cashmere goats directly affects economic development.

Our country is the largest producer of raw cashmere in the world and the largest exporter of cashmere and non-plush cashmere. 70%-80% of the raw cashmere produced every year is used for processing and export. The export volume of cashmere and plush-free cashmere accounts for more than 50% of the world's cashmere and plush-free trade volume, occupying an important position in my country's livestock product exports. In 2004, my country exported 4,370 tons of cashmere raw materials, exported 14.37 million cashmere sweaters, and domestic sales of cashmere sweaters rose to 10 million pieces. Sales of cashmere products are growing rapidly. In 2005, the domestic cashmere market was generally stable. Although there were small fluctuations in transactions and prices, there was no rush to buy, and prices did not rise or fall sharply. It was basically running smoothly. After October, it has basically stabilized between 680,000 yuan/ton and 750,000 yuan/ton. The cashmere price in the later period has increased by about 15% compared with the same period last year. Tibetan white cashmere is the most competitive product. After years of breeding of this variety, the yield and quality of cashmere have improved to a certain extent, and the market price has remained at a high level. The biggest advantage of Tibetan white cashmere goats is the high quality of cashmere, and their development potential lies in forming scale and increasing output. At present, the biggest constraint on scale is grassland ecology.

3. Tibetan sheep

Tibetan sheep are an important breed resource among sheep. Tibetan sheep have the characteristics of high elasticity, strong tensile strength and high gloss. They are the best raw materials for textile carpets and so on. In 2004, there were 11.51 million sheep in the region, mainly distributed in Nagqu and Shigatse areas, with the number of sheep in each area being more than 3 million. Sheep are an important species in Tibet's border trade. In 2001, the region exported about 200,000 live sheep to Nepal. In Zhongba County on the western border, in 2001, through the five border trade markets and Pulan Port in the county, the number of live livestock exports accounted for 41.5% of the county's total livestock slaughter, and the revenue from exporting live livestock reached more than 20 million yuan.

Sheep wool and wool-based carpets, card mats, and tourist crafts have always been important commodities sold to the international market by the Tibet Autonomous Region. With the rapid development of Tibet's tourism industry, demand is increasing. The production scale of Tibetan carpets and woolen ethnic handicrafts is also increasing, and the demand for wool in the region is also increasing accordingly. The excellent quality of Tibetan sheep wool and Tibetan mutton meet the requirements of green food, have good competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets, and have broad development prospects.

4. Highland barley

Highland barley has the widest distribution among Tibetan crops, the highest yield, and rich varieties and variants. The upper limit of its cultivation and growth can reach an altitude of 4,200 meters. Among the sown area of ??grain crops in the region in 2004, the sown area of ??highland barley was 120.11 thousand hectares, accounting for 51.9% of the total sown area, and the output of highland barley was 61.23 tons, accounting for 63.78% of the total grain output. Mainly distributed in Shigatse, Lhasa City, the first and second river basins in Shannan and the Qamdo area, there are 24 counties with annual highland barley output of more than 10,000 tons.

Highland barley is the main food for farmers and herdsmen on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its role and nutritional value have attracted much attention from the scientific and technological community. In recent years, the health-care effects of highland barley have been recognized at home and abroad. With the improvement of people's living standards and quality of life, nutritious, convenient and healthy food is increasingly favored by people. Highland barley food is very popular among consumers because it is rich in various nutrients needed by the human body and has high health care effects. In addition to highland barley being used as rations on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, highland barley processed products being developed include: highland barley oatmeal, highland barley wine, highland barley tsampa, etc. In terms of nutrition and safety, Tibetan highland barley processed products can enter the health food market as organic foods. With the development of highland barley processed products such as oatmeal, tsampa, highland barley beer, highland barley liquor, highland barley rice, and highland barley series health products, the market potential of highland barley is extremely broad.

5. Vegetables

Tibetan vegetables have long been mainly supplied by the mainland and have developed rapidly in recent years. In 2004, the vegetable planting area in Tibet was 15.15 thousand hectares, the total vegetable output was 30 tons, and the per capita possession of vegetables was 114 kilograms. The cultivated varieties have reached 12 major categories, more than 20 families, and more than 60 varieties.

However, the current vegetable production in the region still cannot meet the consumer market's demand for variety, quality and quantity. According to a market survey in Lhasa, the autonomous capital, locally produced vegetables account for about 60%-70% of the market share, with the rest relying on markets outside the region; during the peak vegetable production season (May-September), the self-sufficient market share is 80%-90% In the off-season (September to April of the following year), the market gap is about 50%, and vegetables are expensive. According to statistics, more than 2 million kilograms of vegetables are transferred from the mainland to Lhasa every year, and 7.5 million kilograms of vegetables are transferred from Lhasa to other cities in the region. The self-sufficiency rate of vegetables in Qamdo area in winter and spring and summer and autumn is only 30% and 70%, 60%-70% of vegetables in winter and spring in Shannan area are imported from other places, and the amount of vegetables in Nagqu and Ali areas is larger. Due to the low output, quantity and variety of local vegetables, which cannot meet the market's consumer demand for variety, quality and quantity, the long-term imbalance in vegetable supply and marketing has resulted in high prices in the Tibetan vegetable market. The same variety of vegetables is 2-2 higher than in the mainland market. 5 times. By increasing the region's vegetable self-sufficiency rate, vegetable production has huge market potential, especially new and high-quality vegetable varieties, which have a broad market space.

6. Rapeseed

Rapeseed is the main economic crop in Tibet. It is cultivated from Medog, which is a few hundred meters above sea level, to Gyantse, which is more than 4,600 meters above sea level. The main cabbage-type spring crop grown in Tibet is rape. Tibetan rapeseed has the characteristics of cold resistance, early resistance, resistance to barrenness, high oil content, and high erucic acid; rapeseed has large grains, high yield, and a thousand-grain weight of 4.5-6.7 grams, which is about twice as heavy as that in the inland plains, and the oil content is generally 45 %above. In 1999, the region's rapeseed exports earned US$45,000 in foreign exchange. The annual sown area accounts for 5-8% of the crop area. In 2004, it accounted for 10%, reaching 24.32 thousand hectares, with a total output of about 5.39 tons. Shigatse, Lhasa and Shannan are concentrated rape production areas, and the sown area accounts for 80% of the entire region. The output accounts for 90% of the entire region.

Since joining the WTO, especially in 2004 and 2005, my country's oil production and oil extraction industry have been severely impacted by the international market. The areas most affected are mainly winter rapeseed concentrated production areas. At present, the international vegetable oil market has experienced an oversupply situation. Excessive inventory has caused the prices of rapeseed, rapeseed oil, and rapeseed cakes to plummet. Moreover, due to the pressure brought by the frequent declines in the external edible oil futures market, as well as the global edible oil market downturn, As a result, rapeseed processing enterprises are overrun with oil. . Since 2004, due to the serious over-import of palm oil and soybeans in my country and the serious excess of soybean crushing capacity, coupled with the implication of livestock epidemics in the livestock industry and the impact of other industries, the overall market for domestic rapeseed meal has been depressed in 2005. The domestic rapeseed processing industry has generally encountered a cold wave, and most small and medium-sized oil and fat processing companies will face the situation of switching production and asset restructuring.

Urban and rural residents in Tibet mainly consume rapeseed oil. Currently, rapeseed is in short supply, and the annual vegetable oil gap in the region is more than 2,000 tons. Although the rapeseed area in Tibet has increased in recent years, the total amount is far from meeting local demand. Tibetan rapeseed belongs to the spring rapeseed area; the variety has high oil content (more than 45%), high yield per unit area, and suitable climate conditions, so it has certain comparative advantages.

7. Matsutake

Matsutake is a rare species of edible fungi, mainly distributed in Bomi, Linzhi, Milin, Medog, Zayu, Qamdo, and Nie La in southern Tibet. Wood, Cuona and other forest areas. Matsutake mushrooms are tender and crispy with a special fragrance and delicious taste. They are called the "King of Mushrooms" and are rich in various nutrients and amino acids. They have always been a delicacy on the Japanese table. The annual collection of matsutake in Tibet is about 500 tons, including about 300 tons in Nyingchi and 200 tons in Qamdo. Matsutake collection is an important source of income for farmers in the forest areas of Bomi, Gongbujianda, Nyingchi, Milin, Chayu and Mangkang counties in Linzhi region. Bomi County generated income of 34.99 million yuan for farmers from 1997 to 2001. Due to the special geographical and ecological environment, Tibetan matsutake is the cleanest food and is favored by consumers. It is mainly exported to Japan and is expensive.

The forests in Tibet that are suitable for the growth of closely related species of matsutake are rich in resources, and matsutake has a large space for development. With the continuous improvement of living standards, edible fungi have become a low-energy and fully nutritious food with broad market prospects. However, in recent years, due to predatory harvesting, the ecological environment of the matsutake growing forest land in southeastern Tibet has been destroyed, the bacterial ponds have been damaged, and immature mushrooms have been harvested early. The output of matsutake has declined, and there is a trend of continued decline.

In recent years, the matsutake market in Japan, the traditional large consumer of matsutake, has been weak, and prices have been falling year by year. By August 2005, the price of matsutake in the Japanese market had dropped to a record low, with matsutake selling for only 1,000 to 4,000 per kilogram. yuan (equivalent to 70 to 280 yuan). In 2004, the price of matsutake could reach 3,000 to 5,000 yen/kg. The main reasons for the weakness of the Japanese market are: first, Japan's economic situation has been relatively poor in recent years; second, matsutake mushrooms from the United States, Canada, South Korea, North Korea and other countries have entered the Japanese market in recent years. In the past, the price of matsutake mushrooms in Japan was mainly determined by The situation in our country where matsutake mushrooms dominate the world no longer exists. At the same time, the grade of matsutake produced in China is not high, and the high-grade rate is low. According to reports, the high-quality rate of matsutake exported from Yunnan is generally only about 5%. Therefore, the price of domestic matsutake in the international market is very low, only 43.68% of that in South Korea, which is even lower than that in North Korea. The market situation of matsutake mushrooms in Tibet is the same as the basic situation across the country. Matsutake mushrooms produced in Tibet are mainly exported through Yunnan.

8. Dried fruits

The most important dried fruit products in Tibet are walnuts and Sichuan peppercorns. In a few areas, other economic forests such as tung trees, jujubes, and wolfberry can also be planted. Compared with fruits, dried fruits have a wide adaptability, low cultivation and management requirements, are easy to store and transport, and have better development potential in Tibet. Tibetan dried fruits have developed rapidly in recent years. In 2004, walnuts increased from 98 tons in 1990 to 2,044 tons, and peppercorns increased from 1 to 49 tons. The main production areas are Nyingchi, Shannan and Qamdo in southeastern Tibet. In recent years, the domestic demand for walnuts has continued to rise, and supply has exceeded demand. The purchase price in producing areas has remained high. Tibetan pepper production gradually developed in the 1990s, but management is extensive and it is basically in a semi-wild state. In recent years, fine varieties such as Sichuan Hanyuan pepper have been introduced. Due to the relatively extensive production management of walnuts and Chinese pepper, the products are easy to store and transport, and there are certain markets within and outside the region. Tibet has the resource conditions and development potential for large-scale, commercial production of high-quality, pollution-free walnuts and Chinese pepper.

9. Fruits

The valley area at an altitude of 2200-3200 meters in southeastern and eastern Tibet has sufficient sunlight, rain and heat in the same season, no severe cold in summer and no severe cold in winter, day and night The large temperature difference is conducive to the growth and development of apples and other temperate fruit trees and the high yield and quality of fruits. Generally, fruits have the characteristics of large individuals, good coloring, and high sugar content. Most of the fruit trees in Tibet were planted in the 1960s, and old varieties account for a large proportion. Due to various factors such as extensive production management, aging and serious degradation of fruit trees, fruit trees generally show weak fruiting ability, serious pests and diseases, poor fruit quality, declining yields, and lack of market competitiveness. Fruit production has declined significantly in the past 10 years. The region's fruit production and consumption are still at the lowest level in the country. In 2004, the total fruit output was 8,433 tons, and the per capita fruit consumption was only 3.2 kilograms. With the improvement of social and economic development levels, fruit consumption, especially fruit product consumption, has great room for growth. The market space in the region is huge, but the variety and scale of fruit production in the region are very limited, which can only play a role in balancing the market. .

10. Tea

The indicators suitable for the growth of tea trees in areas below 1,800 meters above sea level such as Motuo and Chayu are higher than those in eastern tea-producing areas at the same latitude and height across the country. This area is the best area for developing tea trees in Tibet. Not only small-leaf tea with weak cold resistance can be grown here, but also Yunnan large-leaf tea with weak cold resistance can be grown. The tea-friendly mountainous areas in southern Medog and Chayu are surrounded by clouds and fog all year round, with less sunshine, more diffuse light, more rainfall, and humid air, which is conducive to the accumulation of substances contained in tea leaves. According to testing by the Tea Quality Inspection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, local tea contains 47.4% tea extract and 34.4% tea polyphenols, which are significantly higher than similar green tea products from the mainland. The total tea output in Tibet in 2004 was 1 ton. Generally speaking, Tibet has not been producing tea for a long time, the scale is small, and there is a shortage of technical force. It has not yet formed a brand with national influence.

11. Tibetan medicinal materials

Tibet’s superior geography and alpine hypoxic environment provide pure growth conditions and contain rich Tibetan medicinal resources. Existing data show that there are 191 families, 964 genera, and 2,584 species of Tibetan medicinal plants in the region; 57 families, 116 genera, and 175 species of animal medicines; and nearly 200 species of mineral medicines. The prescription, processing and pharmaceutical process of Tibetan medicine are unique. Traditional Tibetan medicine is very unique in the treatment of many modern difficult diseases, chronic diseases and senile diseases. It has unique curative effect on plateau incompatibility and other difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

There are tens of thousands of Tibetan medicine formulas recorded in classic Tibetan medicine literature of the past dynasties, plus folk prescriptions, secret recipes, and prescriptions. Currently, there are only more than 300 varieties of Tibetan medicine developed into clinical applications. There are only more than a hundred varieties, and there are still a large number of high-quality medicines with development value to be discovered. The Tibetan Medicine Institute has special charm, which has attracted widespread attention from the world's medical community and has become a hot research topic in the world's medical community.

There are currently 20 Tibetan medicine manufacturers in the region, producing more than 400 varieties, including 78 traditional Tibetan medicines with production approval numbers, 14 Tibetan patent medicines listed as national protected varieties of traditional Chinese medicine, 24 Tibetan patent medicines have been included in the National Catalog of Essential Medicines, 216 Tibetan medicinal materials and Tibetan patent medicines have been listed in national standards, there are more than 20 Tibetan medicine trademarks registered with the industrial and commercial administration department, and 16 over-the-counter Tibetan medicines have been approved by the state. species (15 species in Category A and 1 species in Category B). The entire Tibetan medicine industry is booming and has become one of the pillar industries of the autonomous region. By the end of 2001, three Tibetan medicine companies had passed the national GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification. Tibetan medicine brands such as Ganlu, Qizheng, and Nodikang have been established. Tibetan medicinal material planting bases have begun to take shape, and some Tibetan medicine companies have established medicinal material planting bases in Lhasa, Nyingchi, Miling, Damxung and other places.

With the rise of the trend of returning to nature and the changes in people's outlook on life, consumption and medical treatment, the market demand for natural medicines is increasing day by day. Countries are competing to use modern technology to research and develop traditional medicine and seize the international natural medicine market. Tibetan medicine is gradually being understood and accepted by more and more people, providing opportunities for Tibetan medicine to develop international and domestic markets. Joining the WTO requires that tariffs on traditional Chinese medicines be eventually reduced to zero, creating extremely favorable conditions for traditional Chinese medicine products to enter the international market. As my country strengthens the protection of intellectual property rights, Tibetan medicine, as a product with unique characteristics and advantages in my country, has greater development potential and advantages.

12. Cordyceps sinensis

Tibet is one of the main distribution areas of Cordyceps sinensis in my country. Especially the Cordyceps sinensis in northeastern Tibet is famous for its high quality and is widely favored by domestic and foreign consumers. The output is 90 More than % of export sales. About 30,000 kilograms of Cordyceps are collected in Tibet every year, with that region and Qamdo region being the main production areas. Cordyceps collection is an important source of income for farmers and herdsmen in Cordyceps-producing counties such as Naqu, Baqing, Suoxian, Jiali, and Dingqing, Qamdo, and Jiangda in Qamdo. Since Cordyceps cannot be cultivated artificially at present, natural Cordyceps is limited by natural conditions and its output is limited, which cannot meet the growing needs at home and abroad. As people's living standards improve and their awareness of self-care increases, the demand will grow. Tibetan Cordyceps enjoys a high reputation in the international market and has broad market prospects. Tibet has a superior growth environment for Cordyceps sinensis and has the ecological environment resources to grow Cordyceps sinensis in a large area. By adopting technical measures such as artificial propagation and semi-artificial cultivation, the annual collection volume of Cordyceps sinensis will be increased. However, the Cordyceps sinensis origin areas are all areas with extremely fragile ecological environment. While collecting, we must attach great importance to the ecological protection of the grassland.

In recent years, with the gradual increase in the types of health care drugs, the efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis has been continuously exaggerated, even to the point that it can be omnipotent and cure all diseases. In particular, Cordyceps sinensis, which is said to be the best product for "nourishing yin and strengthening yang", is eagerly bought in the market. The production of Cordyceps sinensis nationwide is declining year by year, and Cordyceps sinensis cannot be cultivated artificially. This has led to an increasingly serious contradiction between supply and demand, and the price has soared, from about 20,000 yuan per kilogram in 2002 to more than 40,000 yuan per kilogram currently. . Especially after 2003, affected by the SARS epidemic, people were more interested in using Cordyceps to improve their immunity, resulting in the price of Cordyceps rising by 50%.

13. Cold-water fish

The numerous rivers and dotted lakes are a prominent feature of Tibet’s natural landscape. Most of the fish resources in high-altitude rivers and lakes are cold-water fish. According to a 1995 survey, there are 71 species and subspecies of fish in Tibet, mainly composed of fishes of the genus Schizothorax and the subfamily Schizothorax, and the genus Plutonidae. Among them, more than 20 species are large in number and widely distributed. It has important fishery economic value. The development level of Tibet's fishery is low, and aquatic products are far from meeting self-sufficiency needs. More than 1,000 tons of aquatic products need to be transferred from other provinces and cities every year, which provides development space for the local aquatic industry.

Due to the slow growth and development of natural cold-water fish, there is certain room for development in protecting wild cold-water fish resources while developing artificially cultivated Yadong salmon, black-spotted catfish and other cold-water fish with Tibetan characteristics.

14. Artemia

Artemia is a small crustacean that is halophilic and lives in high-salinity water bodies. Artemia eggs are found in fish, shrimps, crabs, etc. Good food for larvae. According to my country's existing Artemia egg quality standards, the processed Artemia eggs in Tibet can reach Level 2. Tibet is one of the provinces and regions with many salt lakes in my country, with 221 large and small salt lakes covering a total area of ??6,025 square kilometers. It is now confirmed that Artemia resources are distributed in more than 20 salt lakes in 8 counties in Ngari, Nagqu and Shigatse regions, of which 9 have commercial development value. Relevant experts estimate that the amount of Artemia egg resources in Tibet is 500-600 tons. Driven by huge profits, Tibetan Artemia eggs have been exploited in disorder and predatory fishing for some time. Without understanding the quantity and reproduction patterns of Artemia resources, over-fishing has damaged Artemia resources and the ecological environment of the salt lake. The destruction of Artemia has seriously affected the sustainable utilization of Artemia resources. Artemia egg resources must be developed on the premise of protection. Currently under management and rectification.

15. Tibetan Pig and Tibetan Chicken

Tibetan chicken and Tibetan pork are increasingly favored by consumers for their unique taste and pure natural qualities. The price of Tibetan pork is 30%-40% higher than that of ordinary pork, and the price of Tibetan chicken is twice as high as that of other chickens. It has obvious price advantages and good market prospects. There are about 40,000 Tibetan pigs in Tibet. Linzhi is an area with a large number of Tibetan pigs, about 10,000. There are about 300,000 Tibetan chickens in Tibet, accounting for more than 50% of the chicken population. Compared with 1981 Compared with 2008, the number of Tibetan chickens has decreased by 200,000. Due to the small and scattered breeding scale of Tibetan pigs and Tibetan chickens, there is no definite core group for breeding, and there is no complete set of breeding research, pure breeding and expansion, and related production measures. is shrinking day by day. At present, the distribution range and number of purebred Tibetan pigs and Tibetan chickens in the region are shrinking day by day, and Tibetan pigs are in danger of extinction. According to preliminary surveys, only a few townships in Gongbujiangda County, Milin County, and Bomi County still have purebred Tibetan pigs. Tibetan chickens have shortcomings such as low egg production and slow growth, which makes them difficult to intensively produce and have poor economic returns. The volume is decreasing day by day. The focus of developing Tibetan pigs and Tibetan chickens is pure breeding and population expansion to increase the population size.
