Guiyang to rev up Polygonatum sibiricum industry

Polygonatum sibiricum is a herb used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In recent years, Guiyang in Southwest China's Guizhou province has adopted multiple measures to create the "Guiyang Polygonatum sibiricum" brand. Currently, the Polygonatum sibiricum industry has rapidly developed and has initially established a complete industrial chain.

High-quality breeding bases will be established to breed edible and medicinal varieties of Polygonatum sibiricum. New varieties and technologies are being promoted to make Guiyang a center for exporting Polygonatum sibiricum seeds and seedlings in Guizhou.

Experts from the Guizhou Academy of Sciences are expected to be hired to conduct key technical research such as forest selection, reduction of fertilizer dosage while increasing efficiency, efficient fertilization based on soil testing, and green control of diseases, insects, and weeds.

The unique application value of Polygonatum sibiricum in fields such as food, health care, medicine, and daily chemical products is set to be thoroughly explored. A batch of new products with special functions are to be developed. The added value of products is being improved to meet consumers' diversified needs.

Enterprise support programs are set to assist companies in expanding and optimizing their facilities while also diversifying their product lines and tapping into new markets. The program fosters collaborations between businesses in different regions, creating a network of top-performing companies that can compete on a national level.
