Huixian Flue-Cured Tobacco

　　Huixian is a high-quality tobacco leaf production base for Lanzhou Cigarette Factory. Since the introduction of flue-cured tobacco cultivation in 1997, the industry has now expanded to cover an area of 6,500 mu, with a total tobacco leaf output of over 800 tons, generating a production value exceeding 7.3 million yuan and contributing over 1.4 million yuan in agricultural specialty taxes annually. The main planting areas are distributed across six townships including Yinxing, Fuzhen, Lichuan, Chengguan, Shuiyang, and Yongning, spanning 29 administrative villages and involving 1,115 tobacco-growing households. On average, each household cultivates 5.85 mu of tobacco, earning over 5,000 yuan per household from tobacco farming. There are also two specialized tobacco-growing villages with over 700 mu under cultivation each. One high-quality flue-cured tobacco science and technology demonstration garden has been established in Lihe Village, Yinxing Township, where the average yield reaches 350 jin per mu, and the average income per mu for tobacco farmers exceeds 1,300 yuan. Thanks to the promotion and popularization of flue-cured tobacco technology, the quality of the tobacco leaves has steadily improved. The flue-cured tobacco industry has become an important pillar for boosting local fiscal revenue, adjusting the agricultural industrial structure, and increasing farmers' income. In terms of production and management, the tobacco company leads the way, adhering to an industrialized development model of "company + base + farmer," while implementing incentive and support policies that have fully motivated the enthusiasm of local growers, resulting in healthy growth of the flue-cured tobacco industry.
