On July 29th, leaded by the head of delegation, Yuzhu Zhang, the principal of the Children and Youth policy of the Family Department of South Korean Health and Welfare, the youth delegation visited the optimization and management experimental base on hilly tea plantation ecosystem of ISA (Feiyue organic tea production base and cleaning green tea automatic production line under Hunan Xiang Feng Group Ltd.). The delegation is composed of 53 South Korean officials, leaders of Youth Groups, and graduate students.

Mr. Qiang Wang, general manager of Xiang Feng Group Ltd., briefly introduced the development of the Xiang Feng Inc. In 2000, Xiang Feng was a small tea factory, whose annual output was only more than 1.8 million (￥) worth of tea. Since then, through the cooperation and research on the key techniques of tea garden shading, weeds and pest ecological control, mulch and intercrops, fertilization and composite artificial ecological tea garden construction with ISA, the group had acquired four national patents and a science and technology progress award of Hunan province. Because of the support of scientific and technological innovation, the enterprise has developed by leaps and bounds, with enhancement of the tea quality and production simultaneously. At the same time, all indexes of the tea production achieve the exporting standards of EU. By twenties’ development, Xiang Feng Group has owned a tea plantation base of 1,800 ha and an automatic clean tea production lines, with the annual export to 3,600 tons of tea, annual income up to 130 million and the profits and taxes to more than 7.8 million yuan, and has become one of the leading enterprises. Mr. Wang said that scientists of ISA were conducting a very forward-looking research, namely, simulating the ecological environment in the hills, and carrying out optimization and management for tea plantation ecosystem. The breakthrough of this technology would further improve the quality and production, enhance the efficiency of production, and make a better future to Xiang Feng Group.
