Shi Xing: The rubber substitute poppy (entrepreneurs)

The project is to replace poppy cultivation in opium poppy cultivation in the past the land of rubber plantations to replace. This is taking Xing is currently engaged in the work, but also a national policy to foster the cause.

In the late 1990s, Xishuangbanna in Yunnan to encourage the state government committee "to help neighboring countries to replace opium poppy cultivation, promotion of local economic development, legal," some Chinese enterprises out of the country, active in Myanmar, Laos, and other countries outside the poppy cultivation of alternative work .

In January 2003, Shi Xing set up natural rubber Jianfeng Development Co., Ltd., China's accession to the outside alternative to poppy cultivation in the company's ranks.

Shi Xing of the company and the Lao province of Oudomxai Meng Meng faint County and the county side signed a 20 million mu of natural rubber plantation development contracts, 5-year plan, a budget of 500,000,000 yuan. At present, the company has invested more than 10,000 yuan in 2000, Meng in the county lost 1,000 acres to build a base of rubber seedlings, seeds and seedlings to cultivate more than 550 million trees, forming Farming Jiaoyuan 5 million. According to the assessment of the market, now has assets of more than on billion yuan.

Prime Minister of Laos, Deputy Prime Minister are taking on Xing's project and made a highly recommended. In February 2006, taking Xing planting base in China and the Lao Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Public Security to establish "cooperation between China and Laos to replace poppy cultivation base for the project," the two countries and business leadership of the Ministry of Public Security and foreign affairs departments of leading companies to hold Jiaoyuan The opening ceremony.

Shi Xing said: "The development of the Lao Jianfeng companies to think only at the beginning of a very good project. In the implementation process, it must feel more and more well to do so, to win glory for the Chinese people. Due to the Lao government and the Chinese are deeply concerned about and support The project, together with the local poor people on the rubber plantation was full of hope, therefore, we increasingly feel a heavy responsibility. I do not have to go home 3 years, 3 years, not one to rest Sunday, full of all the companies want to do . "

The benefit of mountain people of Laos

Laos dome of the Ukrainian Cup poppy province has over and over. In 1990, a "green anti-drug plan" in the "Golden Triangle" area to start quietly, with rice, rubber and sugar cane crops to replace opium poppy cultivation, and so on, from the source to curb drug production and sale of drugs. Mountain people have started to ban the eradication of poppy seed and the very act of understanding, when they watched the opium poppy which is the habitat has been destroyed into a chip into the brain, can not help tears. To carry out replacement planting, the mountain people have come to understand very quickly - or the cultivation of sugar cane, rubber cost.

A local rubber plantation village, said: "I'm kind of opium family generations, not eaten Bao Fan, and now we move down from the hills, rubber plantations of the rich, but also built a small cottage, cost-effective kinds of rubber." He Correspondent accounts to the calculations, an open cut from the rubber to update can be harvested for 35 years, according to the rubber a year for each 40 yuan revenue balance, a rubber tree value of 1,200 yuan, he planted 20 hectares of rubber trees, the days Very well.

Faced with financial Bottleneck

At present, Xing-taking businesses are facing a "bottleneck." He told reporters: "According to the company and the Lao government to sign the contract, we have to complete the 20 million mu of rubber plantation. In the light of the cost of domestic standards, 20 million mu from tapping into the management of colonization, the need for an integrated investment 500,000,000 yuan or so, Our business, this is a large sum of money. Although we are in Laos assets have been converted into RMB 1 billion, but the company did not get these assets to domestic banks to obtain loans. "

Xing and try to wipe some of the commercial banks, but all failed. In addition to funding issues, there is another worry about taking Xing: As companies go from strength to strength, the company's officers, employees and the cost of an import and export of vehicles is also very impressive. Now the company spent each year on the shore of the cost of imports and exports more than 80,000 yuan.

"Because we are, after all, in foreign land on rubber plantations," said Xing-taking, "Bank of China and Bank of Laos are not inter-bank settlement, we have to carry a large number of cash between the two countries. In addition, the northern part of Laos Due to the long-term cultivation of opium poppy, roads, electricity, transportation, water conservancy and other infrastructure lagged far less developed areas of education, labor quality is generally low, as well as supporting policies in place, many of these are invested enterprises have no alternative. "

Experts suggested that the current replacement planting should be simple and rising between China and ASEAN regional economic cooperation by combining the relative change in a single crop situation and take the alternative development. From the national strategy should be the central level, the quick study on the drug outside the cultivation of alternative policies for financial support of a series of supporting policies.
