Mingguang City, Anhui Province relies on the leading enterprises of agricultural industrialization to give play to the role of rural economic cooperation organizations and promote the rapid rise of stevia industry. This year, the total planting area of ​​stevia reached 144,600 mu, making it the largest stevia planting base in the world, and it has begun to win the reputation of “the World Sugar Cityâ€.
Stevia is native to South America and is a subtropical perennial Asteraceae herb with very sweet leaves. Stevia was introduced successfully in China in the late 1970s. Mingguang City was one of the earliest planting areas. Farmers had many years of traditional planting habits.
“Stevia is recognized as the third generation sugar source in the world. Sucrose and beet sugar are the first generation sugar sources, but their calories are higher; the second generation sugar sources are synthetic sugars, mainly saccharin, aspartame, etc. It has less calories, but poor taste; while the stevia extracted from Stevia has a sweetness of 300 times that of sucrose, and contains only one-hundredth of the calories of sucrose. It is the sweetest natural sugar known today. Natural, tasty, and low in calories, it is a green and healthy food,†said Zhang Yong, CEO of the GLG Life Sciences Group, Canada.
It is aimed at the sunrise industry of stevioside. Canada GLG Life Science and Technology Group signed an agreement with Mingguang City last year to invest in the construction of stevia processing project in Mingguang City. The first-phase production of 1,000 tons of stevia sugar production line has been completed and it is planned to build an annual output within three years. 4000 tons of stevia production line. Zhang Yong said: "This will be the world's largest stevia production line. In addition, the planting area of ​​stevia in Mingguang City ranks first in the world. Therefore, Mingguang will be the world's sugar capital."
Lin Changyou, Mayor of Mingguang City, told the reporter that Mingguang City is located in the Jianghuai region. Soil and climate conditions are suitable for the growth of Stevia. Last year, Mingguang City signed a cooperation agreement with GLG Life Science and Technology Group of Canada to establish a development model of “company + farmer†to jointly promote the industrialization of stevia. The Group and the farmers signed a minimum purchase price for Stevia and ensured that the income per household per mu was not less than RMB 3,000, which not only ensured the increase of farmers' income but also clarified the production risks. The government departments adopted policy guidance to ensure that the planting area of ​​stevia reached the city within five years. More than 200,000 mu, promote the large-scale production of Stevia.
