Hello everyone!
First of all, on behalf of the Dalian Municipal Government, I would like to welcome and thank you for attending today's investment briefing.
Under the great attention and leadership of Vice Governor of Liaoning Province, Deputy Director of Jilin Provincial People's Congress, Vice Governor Yang, Vice Governor of Heilongjiang Province and Vice President Fu Shouzheng of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with the strong support of China Association for the Promotion of International Cooperation in Agriculture, Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Academy of Forestry and China Association for the Promotion of Village Community Development, with the joint efforts of various cities and relevant departments, have attracted 10 countries and regions from South Korea, Thailand, Italy and 80 countries and regions nationwide. In particular, green food from three northeastern provinces and one district, rare treasures in the snowy area of Linhai and natural pollution-free agricultural products from Hulunbeier grassland have gathered in Dalian from Harbin, Swan Pearl, Changchun, North Spring City, Hohhot and other cities, making this Expo a grand gathering with obvious international colors and distinctive local characteristics.
Northeast China is rich in resources and outstanding people. Over the years, Dalian is located in the northeast economic sector and has maintained close and friendly ties with the hinterland. Dalian, as the opening window of Northeast China, cannot maintain the double-digit GDP growth of 10 without the support of hinterland. Without the support of the hinterland, the urban and rural landscape of Dalian could not have changed so much in a short period of 10 years. According to statistics, there are 326 resident representative offices of all levels and types in Northeast China. Nearly 1,000 enterprises have settled in Dalian with an investment of over 4 billion yuan. There are more than 6000 outstanding people from three northeastern provinces and one district. 80% products in the hinterland of Northeast China go to all parts of the world through Dalian Port, thus making Dalian an important logistics center in China and even Northeast Asia. The development of Dalian benefits from the resources, talents and preferences in the hinterland. Dalian is not only Dalian in Liaoning, but also Dalian in three northeastern provinces and one district. Dalian's agricultural modernization can not be separated from the support of the hinterland, but also from the support of friends from all over the country and around the world. I sincerely hope that you will continue to pay attention to Dalian and support its agricultural development.
Dalian is an open port city surrounded by Bo Huang and the two seas, with a total area of 1.25 million square kilometers, and it has a total jurisdiction of 1.2 administrative districts. Nine districts, cities and counties all have agriculture. The total population of the whole territory is 5.89 million, and the agricultural population is nearly 3 million.
Dalian has extremely convenient transportation. Dalian Port has a vast water area, which is not silted or frozen all the year round, and its annual cargo throughput exceeds 1 100 million tons. Dalian International Airport has opened 86 international and domestic routes, 1 hour can reach Korea, North Korea and Japan, 1 hour can reach Beijing, 1 half an hour can reach Shanghai and 3 hours can reach Hong Kong. Roads and railways extend in all directions, and the two-way eight-lane Shenda Expressway under construction will be completed in 2004, which is the longest two-way eight-lane expressway in China, further narrowing the distance between Dalian and the hinterland of Northeast China.
Dalian agriculture has unique geographical advantages and natural resources advantages, and has formed five pillar industries: fishery, fruits, vegetables, flowers and animal husbandry.
Abundant marine resources provide unique conditions for the development of "marine pasture" and the construction of "Dalian at sea". Dalian coastline 1906 km, sea area of 40,000 square kilometers and shallow sea area of 520,000 hectares. Rich in fish, shrimp, shellfish, algae and other marine treasures, it has a well-known fishery research institute in China, forming a comprehensive fishery system of marine fishing, aquaculture, processing, trade and leisure fishery, and its products are sold to Japan, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and other places.
Dalian is a famous fruit town in China. There are more than 260 kinds of drupes, berries and drupes here, which is one of the best planting areas for apples, cherries, pears, peaches and grapes. There are nearly one million mu of barren hills suitable for developing fruits here. With the popularization and application of protected agricultural technology, Dalian has realized the continuous production of vegetables in four seasons, and hundreds of excellent vegetable varieties introduced from home and abroad have provided conditions for the industrialization and large-scale development of vegetable production.
Flowers are a new industry in Dalian, with an planting area of 1300 hectares and an annual output of more than 30 million fresh cut flowers, which are exported to Europe, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. Dalian has a mild climate and abundant sunshine, which is suitable for the growth of many kinds of flowers. There are 6,543,800 hectares of fertile soil suitable for planting all kinds of flowers, which provides great development potential for flower production.
The development potential of animal husbandry in Dalian is huge. The largest grain reserve base in Asia is built in Dalian. Rich grain sources and developed transportation have created feed processing industry and promoted the development of animal husbandry. Dalian is the birthplace of China's famous Fuzhou cattle, Xinjin pigs and Zhuanghe bone chicken. The aquaculture industry with pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens as its main industries has broad prospects.
200 1, Vice Premier Li Lanqing visited Dalian and proposed that Dalian should take the lead in realizing agricultural modernization in China. The Dalian Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government formulated the Outline of Agricultural Modernization Development, and planned the city's agricultural modernization for 10 years, further increasing the investment in agriculture. Since 200 1, the municipal government has spent 500 million yuan every year on agricultural investment in zhuanghe city, pulandian city and wafangdian city for five consecutive years. Since the beginning of this year, the total amount of funds invested in agriculture in Dalian's fiscal budget and out of budget has reached 700 million yuan, which is mainly used for agricultural infrastructure construction and loan discount support for leading enterprises. The municipal government has also planned 136 modern agricultural demonstration parks to comprehensively promote agricultural modernization. These 136 parks have formulated a series of preferential policies to create the best investment environment for domestic and foreign investors. Among them, the municipal park located in the east of Jinzhou District covers an area of 15 square kilometers. In addition to the infrastructure such as roads, water supply and power supply invested by the government, it will also provide investors with very preferential treatment in land ownership transfer, land use right transfer, financial support, taxation and administrative fees, and provide broad development space for Chinese and foreign merchants.
According to statistics, Chinese and foreign investors' investment in Dalian's agriculture has sprung up suddenly, showing a strong growth momentum. In the third quarter of this year alone, there were 7l new enterprises with an additional investment of 450 million yuan, up by 1.40% year-on-year. Among them, foreign-invested enterprises increased the most, with a total investment of 320 million yuan, an increase of 6-7 times over last year. In particular, leading enterprises engaged in deep processing of agricultural and sideline products have become hot spots for Chinese and foreign merchants to invest in Lianlian. It can be said that now is the best period of agricultural development in Dalian, and it is also a rare historical opportunity for Chinese and foreign businessmen to invest in Dalian agriculture.
At present and in the future, in the practice of building agricultural modernization in Dalian, we need talents in all fields of agriculture, we need advanced agricultural technology and equipment, we need to build a modern scientific research demonstration base, we need to introduce leading enterprises in the production and processing of agricultural and sideline products, we need to promote the facilities and technologies of water-saving irrigation agriculture, we need to invest in offshore fishing, beach and land farming, we need a large area of grassland with production, processing and export capabilities, and we need excellent varieties and treasures.
The agricultural opening-up of Nulian City has broad prospects and unlimited business opportunities. The realization of Dalian's agricultural concept needs the participation of all your friends. Investing in Dalian's agriculture will bring you rich profit returns and make you realize your beautiful wishes in this beautiful and rich land. Dalian people are open, frank and not conservative, with modern temperament and enterprising spirit. Dalian people are hospitable, and we cherish friendship. I sincerely hope that all my friends will remember Dalian, remember her, remember the city's blue ocean and new green, and remember the confidence and smile of Dalian people. Sincerely welcome you to invest and develop your career in Dalian, share your advanced experience with us, and work together to create a better tomorrow!
Finally, I wish the 2002 Northeast International Agricultural Expo a complete success! I wish all the guests good health and prosperous career!
