西双版纳：抓项目 强产业 惠民生 Xishuangbanna: Promoting Projects, Strengthening Industries, and Benefiting People's Livelihood

initial processing and cold chain logistics facility project for agricultural products in Meng'a Town last year," said Tao Youlin, the secretary of the general Party branch of Najing Village. "This year, we used this money to repair the roads leading into the village and improve the drainage facilities, which has greatly changed the appearance of the village." The initial processing cold chain logistics facility project for agricultural products in Meng'a Town, Menghai County is one of the key Shanghai-Yunnan collaborative projects promoted by the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture. In 2024, the project generated a rental income of 400,000 yuan, of which 240,000 yuan was retained by the project's host village, Gasa Village, and the remaining was allocated by the Meng'a Town government to three collectively economically weak villages: Najing Village, Nanlanghe Village, and Hejian Village. In addition, the Mengla Industrial Park's supporting logistics facility construction project invested 28.8 million yuan of Shanghai-Yunnan poverty alleviation funds, generating a benefit of 650,000 yuan in 2024, which was allocated by Mengla County to 21 collectively economically weak villages across the county. The Menghun area factory building project in the Menghai County Agricultural Products Processing Park generated an income of 352,500 yuan in 2024, which was allocated by Menghai County to seven collectively economically weak villages across the county. This distribution mechanism is a concrete manifestation of the Xishuangbanna Prefecture Group of the Shanghai Cadre Liaison Group for Assistance to Yunnan Province in its continuous effort to build a "three centralizations" industrial collaboration brand. The "three centralizations" refer to the centralization of funds, benefits, and distribution. The Shanghai-Yunnan collaboration focuses on centralizing funds for industrial development projects to high-efficiency areas such as parks and existing bases to enhance capital efficiency; focusing on centralizing benefits to county (township) platforms to strengthen overall coordination; and focusing on centralizing benefit distribution to villages with weak collective economies to more fairly benefit the masses. Meanwhile, the "five kinds of funds" income distribution mechanism in Shanghai has also been implemented with the assistance and guidance of cadres aiding Yunnan. This has promoted the development of the small waxy corn industry in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and formed a virtuous cycle of income, further strengthening the village-level collective economy. Shihudang Town in Songjiang District, Shanghai, has paired up with Meng'a Town in Menghai County, and Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture has flexibly applied the "five kinds of funds" mechanism from Songjiang District. "The 'five kinds of funds' originally referred to rent, salary, tax, share capital, and public welfare funds. Considering that local villagers are relatively unfamiliar with 'share capital', it has been changed to 'development fund' which is easier for villagers to understand," introduced Li Rongzheng, a cadre aiding Yunnan and deputy director of the Menghai County Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau. The Menghai branch of Zhenshou Agricultural Technology Development (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., located in Gasa Village, Meng'a Town, marks the first implementation site of the "five-in-one" income distribution mechanism. Specifically, "rent" refers to the rent paid by enterprises for leasing factory buildings, "salaries" are the wages earned by villagers working nearby, "taxes" are the taxes paid by enterprises locally, "development funds" are used to support the early development of farmers, support the development of contract farming, and support the consolidation and expansion of industries, while "public welfare funds" are used for donating to education and boosting local economic and social development. In 2024, relying on the project of cold chain logistics facilities for the initial processing of agricultural products in Meng'a Town, Zhen'shou Agriculture Menghai Branch drove the local residents to plant and purchase small waxy corn in the "contract farming" mode. About 500 households in the town signed "contracts", covering an area of over 4,000 mu. "Previously, villagers had to leave their homes and go out to work. Now, through this project, they can not only work at home, take care of the elderly and children, but also grow corn with the company, gaining an additional income," said Yan Yang, secretary of the general party branch of Gasa Village. "Everyone supports this distribution method, and we are all direct beneficiaries of the 'five guarantees' mechanism." Yunnan Daily - Yun News Reporter: Lin Lihua Editor: Dou Chongyin
