On August 16, Li Yanfang, Deputy Director of the Gaoming District State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, addressed issues related to state-owned enterprise operations, public services, and responded to questions from local residents in the radio program.


Establishing a Persimmon Product Industry Chain


Some residents have provided suggestions about releasing the potential economic benefits from the recent planting of persimmon trees in Gaoming, by developing an industry around the persimmons.


In response, Li Yanfang stated that Mingnong Company, a subsidiary of the District's State-owned Assets Bureau, has come up with plans to develop a persimmon product industry chain, including persimmon cakes, persimmon ice cream, and persimmon vinegar.

Currently, Mingnong Company has already completed 900 mu of persimmons plantation, out of the planned 2,100 mu in Yanghe Town's Zaomu Mountain and Datian Village. The main varieties planted include the "Taiqiu Sweet Persimmon" and "Ice Cream White Persimmon."

Developing a Beef Hotpot Town in Gaoming


Meanwhile, residents also made an enquiry about the beef production in Gaoming. As the beef product of Gaoming Ninghui Meat Processing Factory received wide recognition, residents wonder whether there are plans to promote.


Gu Xiaoqing, Deputy Section Chief of the Reform and Development Division, confirmed that Gaoming would further expand into the food and beverage sector by establishing a "Beef Hotpot Town." The initiative aims to make high-quality beef more accessible to residents and visitors, allowing them to enjoy fresh and delicious beef dishes close to home.


Gu also expressed that Gaoming is exploring partnerships with trendy local tourist spots to open branches of beef restaurants, thereby increasing market coverage and providing a convenient and high-quality dining experience for more consumers.
