On the afternoon of December 14, the general secretary of ** inspected and investigated in Laibin City, Guangxi. He successively came to the Huang'an high-quality "double-high" sugar cane base and Dongtang Phoenix in Laibin National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park to learn about sugarcane breeding, planting and harvest, and sugar industry development.
In winter, the land of Bagui, the cane forest is like the sea, and the green waves are in the sky.
As a cash crop, sugarcane is closely related to many people. On the one hand, it is an important raw material for sugar production in China, and sugar is an important material related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Sugarcane, on the other hand, is the main source of household income for a large number of sugare farmers.
Today, Guangxi's sugar cane planting area and sugar output have ranked first in the country for 32 consecutive crushing seasons, accounting for about 60% of the country for 19 consecutive crushing seasons. About 2 out of every 3 spoonfuls of sugar in China comes from Guangxi.

At one time, the sugarcane industry was in a state of "small, scattered and weak". The production mode of slash-and-burn cultivation has caused the cost to remain high, coupled with market changes, and its comprehensive utilization efficiency is low and the economic benefits are not high for a long time. "Thousands of small households" can hardly cope with the "ever-changing big market", and as soon as the market "sneezes", sugarcane farmers will "catch a cold and fever". Some cane farmers have even cut down their sugarcane and planted other crops.

Nowadays, Guangxi will transform and upgrade through the whole process of sugarcane planting, processing and comprehensive utilization, and an increasingly perfect industrial chain and diversified new forms of sugarcane industry are accelerating.

Now, the journey of a sugarcane has become "new", and after passing through the "three workshops", it has turned into a "sweetness" in the world.
Planting is the "first workshop". In 2014, Guangxi started the construction of high-yield and high-sugar sugar cane bases, and has built a total of more than 5 million mu of "double-high" bases.
Many "double-high" bases can produce about 8 tons per mu. Compared with the era of "watching the sky and eating", the yield per mu has doubled. It is the same world, and the increment comes from the firstAn old sugarcane farmer in Laibin City, Guangxi Province, who has been planting sugarcane for 30 years, opened the mobile phone APP and pointed to the water pipes all over the sugarcan fields and gave the answer: "Sugarcane is hungry and thirsty, and intelligent control of water and fertilizer integrated drip irrigation;Pests, drone spraying. ”

Sugar production is the "second workshop". In the past, sugarcane was mainly used to make white sugar and red sugar, but there was a lack of intensive processing. Nowadays, sugar enterprises have extended sugar to the industrial chain of specialty sugar, functional sugar, nutritional sugar, etc., and continue to develop deep-level products such as sugarcane water, sugarcane vinegar, sugarcane wine, etc., to create a high-end sugar value chain.
Comprehensive utilization is the "third workshop". The pulp residue produced during the sugar extraction process is used for power generation, the coarse bagasse can be used for pulp and paper making and the production of degradable tableware, the cane leaves and tail tips can be used to make high-quality feed, the filter sludge is developed into organic fertilizer, the waste molasses is used to produce yeast, and the wastewater can be used to irrigate farmland ...... after treatmentThe transformation and upgrading of the traditional cane sugar industry to the bio-based chemical industry, food industry, fermentation industry, etc., and the continuous enrichment and extension of the circular industrial chain have made "one sugarcane sweet at both ends" a reality.
