In recent years, Yicheng County has successively formulated the Implementation Opinions and Supplementary Opinions on the Development of Forsythia suspensa Industry in Yicheng County and the Development Plan of Forsythia suspensa Industry in Yicheng County (20 19-2023), which has raised the subsidy standard for planting Forsythia suspensa, with the maximum subsidy increased from 200 yuan to 400 yuan per mu, and the contiguous management funds increased from 50 yuan to 80 yuan per mu. The county finance has successively invested more than 40 million yuan to support artificial planting.

As a highly adaptable medicinal shrub, Forsythia suspensa is widely distributed in our city, which can be used as a garden plant for greening and beautifying, especially in the spring flowering season when yellow flowers are everywhere, and it is a beautiful scenery.

Due to the special pharmacological effects of Fructus Forsythiae, although wild Fructus Forsythiae is widely distributed, its output is far from meeting the market demand. According to statistics, there are more than 200,000 mu of forsythia resources in our city at present, but 80% of them are wild, so there is great room for artificial cultivation.

Large-scale planting can not only improve the ecology, but also have good economic benefits. It can also add a unique scenery to the development of tourism in our city and become an effective way for farmers to increase their income continuously and steadily.
