Statistics show that China’s non-timber forest coverage exceeds 700 million mu, with an annual output of forest food exceeding 200 million tons. It has become the third most important agricultural product in China, following grain and vegetables. Both the 2025 Central Government No.1 Document and the national 15th Five-Year Plan clearly propose to build a diversified food supply system including woody grain. The non-timber forest industry is playing an increasingly vital role in national economic and social development.

ecently, the Inaugural Conference of the Soil and Fertilizer Branch of China Non-timber Forestry Association & Exchange Conference on Non-timber Forest Soil Health and Integrated Development of Fertilizer Industry was grandly held in Beijing. More than 50 leading domestic research institutes, universities and outstanding enterprises, including Wuxi Institute of Applied Technology of Tsinghua University, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Chinese Academy of Forestry and Shandong Academy of Forestry, gathered to witness the official establishment of the branch. As a vice-chairman unit of the branch, Hubei Yishizhuang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. fully participated in this grand industry event and discussed integrated development plans with representatives from all sectors.
