The total economic benefits of Xinjiang poplar will reach 3.389 billion yuan

Judging from the supply and demand of wood in Xinjiang, in 2006, the wood processing enterprises consumed a total of 12 million cubic meters of logs each year, and the supply and demand gap was 1.8 million cubic meters. Xinjiang is one of the origins of poplars. Poplar is also the most important tree species for protection forests, timber forests, and small towns and villages in the Xinjiang Plain. It accounts for about 70% of the artificially cultivated trees in the plains and is used as a commodity timber in the Xinjiang Plain. The main tree species.

At present, Xinjiang has been promoted and applied in 7 counties and cities including Gongliu County, Nileke County, Yining County, Xinyuan County and Yining City in Ili Prefecture. The cultivated area has reached more than 300,000 mu and 11.95 million seedlings have been bred. The selling price is 1.5 yuan/plant, and the direct economic benefit from seedling production is 17.9311 million yuan. The average cultivation time is 5-6 years. The wood production per mu is calculated at 2 cubic meters per year. The project produces a total of 3389000 cubic meters of poplar quality wood, which is calculated based on the current price of poplar wood of 1,000 yuan per cubic meter. The direct economic benefit is 3.389 billion yuan.
