Discussion on the Development Strategy of Sea Buckthorn Industry in Shanxi Province

Sea buckthorn has both ecological value and economic value,and sea buckthorn industry is a characteristic agricultural and forestry industry in Shanxi Province. This paper used the supply-demand balance analysis method of economics to take the research. The results showed that:①For a long time,sea buckthorn raw materials in Shanxi Province mainly relied on natural forests,and the supply was tight. Since 2016,the project of improving the quality and efficiency of sea buckthorn and the project of returning farmland to forest had been implemented successively,and a large number of sea buckthorn artificial economic forests and artificial plantations had been developed,and the output of sea buckthorn raw fruits would increase significantly after entering the peak fruit period. ②The sea buckthorn processing industry in Shanxi Province was in a leading position in China,but the market sales growth was slow,and under the influence of the epidemic,the sales of processing enterprises didn’t increase but decline,and the demand for raw materials grew slowly. Research conclusion showed that:With the development of sea buckthorn artificial economic forests and artificial plantations,the transformation of sea buckthorn raw materials from natural forests to artificial economic forests and artificial plantations would be realized. The policy suggests included that:①Shanxi Province should implement the classification and management strategy of sea buckthorn ecological forest and economic forest,focusing on the protection of natural sea buckthorn forest,and no longer implement artificial transformation;②Processing enterprises should actively develop the international market and the domestic developed regional market to increase the demand for raw materials.
