On July 31, Chairman Lu Pengfei of the District Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) visited Houping Township of the Miao and Tujia Ethnic Groups and Tongzi Town to conduct field research on the development of the Tea industry and the operations of the CPPCC members' workstations.
Vice Chairman Zhang Chunyu of the District CPPCC and relevant personnel accompanied him on this visit.
During the day, Lu Pengfei and his entourage visited Wenfeng Village in Houping Township, as well as Tongzi Village and Shuangfeng Village in Tongzi Town. They inspected the progress made by companies such as Chongqing Mingzhen Agricultural Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Muchu Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in base construction, production environment, and Brand creation. They also inquired in detail about the types of tea planted, processing techniques, and the integration of Tea culture with tourism. Additionally, they exchanged ideas with relevant officials regarding the current state of the tea industry. Lu Pengfei also reviewed the work procedures, methods, and inspection and visit systems of the CPPCC members' workstations in Houping Township and Tongzi Town, and asked detailed questions about their operations.
Lu Pengfei emphasized that there should be clearer thinking on the direction of development. Efforts should be made to learn from the experiences of advanced regions in tea industry development and to explore strategies for extending, supplementing, and strengthening the industrial chain, thereby promoting the industry towards scale, standardization, and branding. Efforts should also focus on integrating various sectors, using tea as the core element and leveraging tourism resources to find suitable points of convergence and application, fostering a unique brand that combines tea culture and tourism. More efforts should be made to improve services and support, giving full play to the role of CPPCC members in listening to public opinions, understanding local conditions, gathering wisdom, and addressing people's concerns. It is essential to enhance service to businesses and ensure the availability of necessary elements, jointly exploring new ideas, methods, and measures for the development of the tea industry to drive its high-quality growth. The workstations for CPPCC members should continuously upgrade their operations, broaden platform functions, make full use of and leverage the advantages and roles of CPPCC members, and effectively carry out activities involving members' participation in grassroots governance and serving the public, consistently improving the quality and effectiveness of consultation and deliberation.
