The Local Advantages of Gaowan Township

Relying on local resources, the Party Committee and the government of Gaowan Township gave full play to local advantages and paid close attention to pillar industries, and gradually developed into six advantages. 1. Advantages of agricultural development. Gaowan Township is an agricultural township with water, drought, mountains and sand. In terms of water resources, there are both high-lift Yellow River water and abundant groundwater. There are 28 small-scale water conservancy projects such as electromechanical wells and springs in Quangaowan Township, which are particularly rich in sand and gravel resources. Vigorously developing water resources, improving the effective utilization rate of water, making full use of sand resources and building "three fields" are potential advantages to strengthen the basic position of agriculture and enhance its stamina. At the same time, the quality of underground storage water is excellent, which is a high-quality natural mineral water.

2, high-quality watermelon, seed melon and big black melon seeds are another major feature. Daban black melon seeds are known as one of the top ten famous brand products in Jingyuan. The annual planting area is more than 30,000 mu, and the output of seed melon is about 2.4 million Jin. Watermelon, seed melon pulp, color and taste are all available, which are exported to Gansu province and abroad and are deeply loved by consumers. Watermelon industry has obtained the national "A" level green food certification.

3. Mutton is of high quality and has great potential for raising sheep. Gaowan Township, located at the foot of Wu Qu Mountain, is rich in forage resources. At present, there are 32,000 sheep in stock, with an annual slaughter of 0.6 million lambs/kloc-0. The output is about 6.5438+0.3 million kilograms, and the output value is about 6.5438+0.8 million yuan. Gaowan mutton is listed as one of the top ten brand-name products in Jingyuan County, and enjoys a high reputation both inside and outside Gansu Province.

4. Gaowan is rich in resources. Palygorskite is a proven mineral resource, a magnesium-rich silicate nonmetallic mineral containing water and a variety of trace elements. It can be widely used in environmental management, building materials, medicine, life and other fields, and is a scarce nonmetallic mineral resource in the world. According to experts' prediction, the mineral resources of Gaowan Palygorskite exceed 1 100 million tons, which is a super-large mineral resource in the world.

5. Returning farmland to forests and grasslands and changing the ecological environment have broad prospects. Gaowan Township has a large area of returning farmland to forests and grasslands and a natural pasture base. Quwu Mountain in the territory has a unique advantage, where dense primitive jungles and various herbs grow, and it has good conditions for closing the mountain to facilitate grass cultivation and afforestation. And the air here is clear and pleasant, and the scenery is unique. This is a cool place in summer, which has potential advantages in developing tourism.

6. Convenient transportation and communication. Jingyuan county and township roads run across the north and south of Gaowan township, close to provincial roads, with convenient transportation. At the same time, Gaowan Township is the intersection of two counties (Huining County and Jingyuan County) and one district (Pingchuan District), which has convenient traffic conditions for developing commerce and invigorating circulation. Telecommunication optical cable runs through the whole territory, and program-controlled telephones and mobile phones cover all Gaowan towns and villages.
