Xinkailing Township, located in Xiling, Jianchang County, is an extremely cold mountainous area with many mountains and thin land and nine droughts in ten years. In recent years, in order to change the face of poverty, the township has adjusted its industrial structure and focused on hawthorn production, adhering to the principle of adapting measures to local conditions and avoiding weaknesses, which has significantly improved the lives of farmers. In 1984, the number of hawthorn plants in the township increased from 46,400 in 1980 to 252,000, an increase of 5.4 times. The output doubled from 290,000 Jin in 1980 to 600,000 Jin. The income increased from 101 500 yuan in 1980 to 480,000 yuan, accounting for 43% of the total agricultural income. A new hawthorn orchard with two million plants, two hawthorn orchards with ten thousand plants, one hawthorn orchard with five thousand plants and three hundred family orchards with more than three hundred plants has been built in the township, basically reaching the goal that all groups and households have hawthorn trees, and has formed a prototype of "one-stop" production, processing, storage and sales. The history of hawthorn production in Xinkailing Township has been several decades. The 1980s was the first large-scale planting. Since the state abolished the agricultural tax and specialty tax, more local hawthorn has been planted, because without the specialty tax, farmers have reduced their burden. Since then, hundreds of thousands of new trees have been planted every year. At present, there are more than 500,000 hawthorn trees in the township that can bear fruit. In normal years, the output of each tree is more than 50 kilograms.
