Yichang's agricultural processing sector thrived with an output value of roughly 57 billion yuan (US$8 billion) in the first half of 2024. The city welcomed 24 new large-scale processing enterprises, reaching 489 in total.
At Hubei Tulaohan Ecological Agriculture Group in Yidu, processing workshops were busy with activity, highlighting Yichang's robust development in the area.
Yichang has solidified its role as a key agricultural hub, focusing on grains, oils, citrus, tea, vegetables, livestock, and aquatic products. The city fosters clusters for Three Gorges honey oranges, shiitake mushrooms, and tea, with 21 national "One Village, One Product" demonstration sites. Yichang boasts over 2 million mu of citrus and 1 million mu of tea plantations, alongside annual pig production exceeding 5 million head.
The city places significant focus on agricultural product processing, with annual funds allocated at municipal and county levels to support leading enterprises. Key developments include Yicha Group's billion-yuan tea industry project, and the listings of Yizhi Konjac and Kangnong Seed Industry on the Beijing Stock Exchange, marking significant milestones in the konjac and seed industries respectively in the province. Xiaoshi Tea's intelligent "unmanned factory" and Qingjiang Sturgeon Valley's largest artificial sturgeon farming workshop highlight the city's innovative prowess.
Yichang has optimized its industrial park planning around farming and breeding sectors, establishing a national modern agricultural park, 14 provincial-level parks, two national and two provincial agricultural product processing parks. These efforts have spurred specialized processing clusters: citrus in Yidu and Zigui, grain, oil, food, and beverage in Dangyang and Zhijiang, vegetables in Changyang, Yuan'an, and Xingshan, premium tea in Wufeng and Yiling, and specialty aquatic products in Yidu, Zhijiang, and Changyang.
