To thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions of “prospering and developing through Tea,” and to effectively play the political leading role of party organizations and members in the development of the county's primary industry, we are launching a column titled “Prosperity and Development through Tea.” This column will comprehensively showcase the dynamic practices and significant achievements of the Selenium-rich tea industry chain party organizations, member units, and party members in promoting the development of the selenium-rich tea industry, increasing income for the people, and supporting rural revitalization.
In recent years, Sanyang Town of Pingli County has adhered to the principle of “focusing on development while strengthening party building, and promoting development through effective party building.” It has fully leveraged the role of grassroots party organizations as fortresses, established the Selenium-Rich Tea Industry Chain Branch of the CPC in Sanyang Town, Pingli County, and adopted a model of “branch leadership, enterprise dominance, and member leadership.” The town continues to develop its tea industry toward scale, intensification, and specialization, truly achieving “one leaf builds one industry and enriches the people.”
Organizational leadership, gathering strength and setting direction. Following the approach of “building branches along the industrial chain, gathering members along the industrial chain, and enriching the people along the industrial chain,” 32 tea enterprises (cooperatives) in the town have been incorporated into the Selenium-Rich Tea Industry Chain Branch. This effectively consolidates various forces, forms a cohesive force for the tea industry, and addresses the problem of scattered and crude management. The “branch + enterprise + household” development model is implemented in depth, with the Selenium-Rich Tea Industry Chain Branch taking the lead in planning the development of the tea industry and making major decisions. Clear goals, tasks, and measures are set out to ensure that all decisions are promptly and effectively implemented.
Empowerment through party building, strengthening connections and promoting development. Focused on the directions of increased efficiency for enterprises, increased income for tea farmers, and enhanced branding, the goal is to build Sanyang Town into a strong tea town. Led by the Selenium-Rich Tea Industry Chain Branch, party members of the industrial chain branch go on field trips to learn about the development of the tea industry, conduct training on tea picking and tea garden management, and organize events such as the Spring Tea Harvest Opening Ceremony, Spring Tea Market Promotion, and “Joint Construction of the Selenium-Rich Tea Industry Chain Branch.” These activities help tea enterprises and farmers broaden their horizons and further promote the effectiveness of the “party building chain + industrial chain” model, ensuring the healthy development of the tea industry.
Race members take the lead, vying for excellence and setting examples. To further address the low comprehensive utilization rate of summer and autumn teas, the Selenium-Rich Tea Industry Chain Branch members have taken the initiative to invest in the town's first large-scale tea production line. Currently, this large-scale tea production line is in operation, producing over 100 tons annually and continuously driving employment and income growth for surrounding residents. At the same time, volunteer party members of the industrial chain branch actively promote policies among the masses and encourage them to engage in the picking of summer and autumn teas, providing support for fresh leaf supplies and fully demonstrating the exemplary role of party members.
