Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Forestry Bureau issued the "Guidelines for the Development of Forest, Grass and Chinese Medicinal Materials Industry in Guangdong Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Development Guide"), proposing that Guangdong should focus on the ecological cultivation of forest, grass and Chinese medicinal materials, and highlight the standardized production bases of bulk and characteristic Lingnan Chinese medicinal materials.
Build a comprehensive development system of Guangdong forest, grass and Chinese medicinal materials industry with a complete industrial chain and controllable quality production throughout the process
.

The guideline clarifies that it is necessary to strengthen the protection and development of Guangdong forest-grass Chinese medicinal material germplasm resources, and build a Guangdong forest that integrates multiple functions such as conservation of medicinal material germplasm resources, scientific research, breeding demonstration, technology promotion, humanistic education, and forest health care.
An innovative development base integrating the breeding, reproduction and promotion of herbal Chinese medicinal materials; to build an ecological cultivation and industrialization base for forest-grass Chinese medicinal materials in Guangdong, focusing on building Xijiang cinnamon, Liannan Yao medicine, Nanxiong ginkgo, and Pingyuan plum slices in the northern ecological development zone Standardized planting and breeding bases for Chinese herbal medicines such as trees.
