|
THE city will spend three billion yuan (about US$362 million) to build a modern eco-agricultural high-tech park, according to a Xinhua story released yesterday.
A blueprint drafted by the city government shows that the 4,533-hectare park will consist of three parts: the Guangming-Gongming high-tech agricultural zone in Bao'an District, the Pingshan eco-agricultural science and technology corridor and a marine life high-tech zone in Longgang District.
A modern cattle farm and cattle breeding centre mainly supported by bio-technology, and a boar breeding centre, as well as a seedling nursery in co-operation with an American company, will be built inside the Guangming-Gongming zone. Pollution-free vegetables and fruits, and flowers will also be produced in the zone.
In the future, the Pingshan eco-agricultural science and technology corridor will feature 13 specialized centres devoted to 13 different fields covering tea, genetically modified pigs and cattle, among others.
The marine life high-tech zone will concentrate on industrialized breeding of abalone, high-yield shrimps, introduction and breeding of marine fry, breeding of fish in deep-water areas, and research on marine life and disease prevention.
When the park is fully completed, it is expected to generate an additional 2.28 billion yuan in output value annually.
