Since ancient times, Kaifeng has planted chrysanthemums, loved chrysanthemums, appreciated chrysanthemums, and the wind of chrysanthemums prevailed. Since the first chrysanthemum meeting was held in our city in 1983, the chrysanthemum flower meeting has developed into a national event integrating culture, tourism, economy and trade, and has improved the level of economic development in Kaifeng. However, on this basis, how to lengthen the chrysanthemum industry chain and "excavate" more wealth is a problem that we urgently need to solve.
Realistically speaking, how to industrialize the chrysanthemum in Kaifeng is not a new proposition. However, there is still a lot we need to do to transform the single ornamental economy of chrysanthemums into a common development with the deep processing industry. Although we have extended the flowering period, added varieties and improved production efficiency of chrysanthemums through scientific and technological innovation, in the deep processing of chrysanthemums, the characteristic products are not prominent, and there is no influential brand so far. In addition, the relevant departments are conservative in the development concept of chrysanthemum industrialization, and the support policy is still very weak, so that the road to the industrialization of Kaifeng chrysanthemum is still bumpy.
In contrast, Luoyang is worth learning from in terms of peony research and development and elongation of the industrial chain. Peony cakes, peony banquets, peony tea, peony wine, peony porcelain, peony series cosmetics, etc., are refreshing, and these peony deep-processing products have been fully introduced to the market, forming an industrial long chain from peony planting to peony series products deep processing. It is also to use flowers as a medium to show the charm of the city in an all-round way, Kaifeng wants to make chrysanthemums go to the road of scale, standardization and standardization industry, and also needs the whole city to "paddle a big boat".
How to steer the helm and drive this big ship well, we need to be market-oriented, plan the layout of the chrysanthemum industry with high standards, encourage large-scale and standardized production of chrysanthemums, improve the grade of chrysanthemums, and strengthen the brand effect of chrysanthemums; It is necessary for us to actively build a production technology research and development platform with enterprises as the main body, promote scientific and technological innovation and technological innovation in the chrysanthemum industry, carry out technical research in the in-depth development of chrysanthemum edible, medicinal, drinking and other products, and transform scientific research achievements into production benefits in a timely manner; We need to strengthen the introduction of chrysanthemum professionals, give full play to the talent advantages of chrysanthemum experts, and comprehensively cultivate chrysanthemum brokers and chrysanthemum management talents; We need to rely on chrysanthemums to carry out market development and promotion of related creative projects. In this way, we can ensure that the aircraft carrier with the brand of chrysanthemum can overcome obstacles and ride the wind and waves in the tide of market economy.
Chrysanthemums are not just a flower. It's culture, it's productivity. Only through industrial development, the chrysanthemum economy can become the pillar industry, the enrichment industry, and the emerging industry of Kaifeng, and a light chrysanthemum can become the eternal industrial flower.
