11月份，青海省西宁市湟源县的沙棘果正在紧锣密鼓采摘和加工生产中，一颗颗橙红饱满的沙棘果，撬 动着生态与产业协同发展的"金色蜕变"。近年来，当地依托6.9万亩沙棘资源，深化集体林权制度改 革，通过系统规划、科技赋能与全链构建，探索出一条生态保护与经济发展双赢的乡村振兴新路径。 科技创新是沙棘产业提质增效的关键引擎。当地成立高原沙棘研究院，聚焦沙棘种质资源收集与良种选 育，推动沙棘产品获得有机食品认证，研发的《湟源沙棘益生发酵茶生产技术规程》迅速落地，实现了 沙棘叶益生菌茶的规模化生产，成为科技成果转化的典范。这些举措让小小沙棘果身价倍增，新开发的 沙棘益生菌茶等产品广受市场欢迎。 为延伸产业链条，湟源县围绕沙棘"药食同源""高原生态"等核心卖点，与多家科研机构和企业开展合 作，着力构建覆盖研发、生产、销售的全产业链体系。 沙棘冷链基地的建设与运营是产业链中的重要一环。今年以来，湟源县沙棘冷链基地已收购83吨沙棘枝 条果，生产原浆14吨，这些果实通过精深加工，变身为各类高附加值产品。在沙棘丰收季，仅采摘环节 就可为务工群众每人每天带来约170元的收入。截至目前，沙棘产业已累计带动350人次就业，帮助群众 增收3 ...

Core Viewpoint - The development of the seabuckthorn industry in Qinghai faces challenges such as the outflow of deep processing, incomplete industrial chains, aging seabuckthorn forests, and a lack of specialized plantations. Experts suggest that solutions should focus on policy guidance, technological support, and extending the industrial chain [1][3]. Group 1: Deep Processing Challenges - Qinghai has abundant raw materials, but they are often sent to neighboring provinces for deep processing due to the lack of local processing capabilities, which increases costs and erodes profit margins [3][5]. - Establishing a complete processing and sales chain is crucial for enhancing industry efficiency, as highlighted by the successful experiences of southern economic forest industries [3][5]. Group 2: Planting and Structural Issues - Many seabuckthorn forests in Qinghai are over 20 years old and show signs of degradation, necessitating updates to the plantations [5][7]. - The unique reproductive characteristics of seabuckthorn, being dioecious, lead to inefficiencies, suggesting the need for scientific thinning to optimize forest structure and increase yield [5][7]. Group 3: Recommendations for Development - Experts recommend that the government support the establishment of local deep processing leading enterprises to reduce costs and enhance benefits, which is key to rooting the industry in Qinghai [7]. - Three main suggestions include timely policy adjustments to balance ecological protection and economic development, setting up targeted funds to attract research teams, and creating a complete industrial chain from raw materials to processing and sales [7]. - Promoting integrated development through various means, such as tourism and educational activities, is essential for enhancing overall efficiency and resilience against risks [7].
