Wuyishan National Park aims to grow sustainable tea sector

China Daily  

Workers spread out freshly plucked tea leaves to dry them before further processing on May 7 last year. JIANG KEHONG/XINHUA Modern methods Since 2018, two years after the Wuyishan National Park pilot program was launched, about 20 sq km of illegally reclaimed tea mountains had been reforested, including more than 5.7 sq km within the park's boundaries. Despite restrictions preventing local growers from expanding existing cultivation areas or using new parcels of land, the park remains committed to supporting the local tea industry and improving the farmers' lives. Now though, the emphasis has shifted toward sustainable tea cultivation practices, including optimizing existing plantations and improving the quality of Wuyi Rock tea. "In order to better protect the forest, we must respect and preserve the existing areas for the locals to plant and live on, but further expansion has been restricted," said Huang Zhimin, a researcher with the park's management bureau.
