The city’s forestry industry has a total output value of nearly 130 billion yuan (125.8 billion yuan) and has been rated as a national forest. It has a series of titles such as city, national ecological civilization construction demonstration zone, and national comprehensive pilot city for forestry reform and development. Over the years, Sanming has insisted on “using forests as bridges, bridging the two sides, strengthening cooperation, and common development”, and has taken the lead in forestry reform and development and cross-strait exchanges and cooperation; Sanming’s forestry reform experience was reported at a press conference of the State Council. Highlights include the promotion of 6 forest reform innovations across the country.
