Se-rich soil is the material basis for the production of natural agricultural products. Selenium-rich soil is also a new agricultural natural resource. The discovery of selenium-rich soil in Zhejiang has attracted great attention from the local government, arousing farmers' enthusiasm for resource development, opening up new ways to increase agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. In just one or two years, a good economy has emerged benefits and social benefits.
In 2003, after learning that the investigation found selenium-rich soil, Cixi city government leaders asked the city’s agriculture, science and technology, land, environmental protection, health and other departments to organize a joint investigation of the rich selenium-rich soil. Selenium soil development and research, and actively guide the production of selenium-rich agricultural products. They used the most suitable selenium-rich soil areas in Sun'ao (an area of ??19,350 acres) and Baiyang (an area of ??22,650 acres) as pilot areas for the development of selenium-rich bayberry; they used the selenium-rich soil in Tianmu Mountain to cultivate the "Pingpingding" brand Selenium-rich tea, in 2005, the price of selenium-rich tea in this area has increased from the original 200 yuan/500g to 500 yuan/500g, and the supply exceeds demand.
In 2004, Ruian City, which has selenium-rich soil, in order to transform resource advantages into economic advantages, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued multiple instructions on the industrial development of Ruian’s selenium-rich agricultural products. With the promotion of the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau and the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau, the project "Research on the Form, Availability of Selenium in Selenium-rich Soil and Selenium Absorption of Crops in Ruian City" was officially listed in the 2006 Science and Technology Project Plan of the Zhejiang Provincial Geological Survey Bureau. The project will study the geochemical characteristics of soil selenium distribution and occurrence in Ruian City, explore the absorption mechanism of selenium in the soil by crops, and coordinate with local departments to formulate relevant technical standards to provide guidance for the development and utilization of selenium resources and selenium resources in Ruian City. Provide scientific basis for industrial development.
Shangyu City attaches great importance to the development of selenium-rich agricultural products. In the "Several Opinions on Supporting the Development of Agricultural Industrialization" issued in 2006, 600,000 yuan was allocated for the development of selenium-rich agricultural products, and it was proposed to actively cooperate with China Agricultural University, Zhejiang Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and Zhejiang Provincial Technical Supervision Cooperate with the bureau and other units and departments to carry out scientific research, certification and base construction.
The discovery of selenium-rich soil in Longyou County has attracted the attention of many media, competing for reports. "Metropolitan Daily" stated that the Zhejiang Provincial Geological Survey Institute discovered selenium-rich soil in Longyou County, just like that year The discovery of Longyou Grottoes also caused a sensation. People in Longyou did not expect that the land they have stepped on since ancient times and the three meals a day turned out to be unusual. They contained selenium, a trace element that plays an important role in human health. On October 18, 2005, the "Economic Life" newspaper reported the reporter's on-the-spot interview with the theme of "Selenium-rich Brand" Bringing Benefits to Zhitang Farmers. According to reports, the discovery of selenium-rich soil in Longyou Zhitang Town has brought benefits to farmers, and selenium-rich agricultural products have given farmers a taste of the sweetness. Qian Qingzhen, a villager in Qianjia Village in the town, said that he planted 1.1 acres of rice, and the price per quintal was higher than 10%. A few dollars. According to the interview, the purchase price of Longyou Zhitang white lotus increased by 7 yuan per kilogram compared with 2004. This alone has increased the income of lotus farmers in the town by 1.23 million yuan. In order to increase development efforts, the first "Longyou Zhitang Selenium-rich Food Co., Ltd." named after selenium came into being. The company registered 6 selenium-rich food trademarks at one time, and in early 2005, it obtained the first trademark worth more than 20 Selenium-enriched white lotus order worth RMB 10,000. In 2005, the county's rice production increased from 71 yuan/quintal to 86 yuan/quintal. Selenium-rich rice increased the income of farmers in Longyou County by 10.82 million yuan. In Longyou, selenium is used to make a fuss, lengthening the selenium industry chain, greatly increasing the added value of agricultural products from the field to the table, and finding a new growth point for Longyou's agricultural economy.
The Longyou County Government made a special speech at the Third National Agricultural Geology Work Site Meeting (Hangzhou) in 2005, comprehensively summarizing the county’s efforts in utilizing selenium-rich soil resources and developing selenium-rich agricultural products. The experience showed various selenium-rich agricultural products and foods that have been developed and put on the market, which aroused strong reactions among the participants.
