Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – On the 23rd, the Information Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government held a special press conference in Guangzhou on "Guangdong's Achievements during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period," focusing on Yunfu. Li Qingxin, Deputy Secretary of the Yunfu Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Yunfu, stated that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Yunfu, relying on the Xijiang River's golden waterway, built a green shipping system of "one river and four port areas." The city's port capacity exceeded 150 million tons, achieving a leap from "riverside location" to "connected to the sea."
According to reports, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Yunfu's locational advantages significantly increased, with transportation investment increasing year by year. A total of over 35 billion yuan was invested over five years. A number of major transportation projects, such as the Shenzhen-Nanning High-Speed Railway and the Foshan-Zhaoqing-Yunfu Expressway, were launched. The Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-Speed Railway was completed and opened to traffic. The "one vertical and three horizontal" railway network and the "three vertical and three horizontal" expressway network are rapidly taking shape. Yunfu is fully integrating into the Greater Bay Area's one-hour city circle, economic circle, and living circle.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Yunfu's economy achieved both quantitative and qualitative growth. Over the five years, the city's total economic output increased by 30%, local fiscal revenue by 40%, loan and deposit balances by 50%, and the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 60%, demonstrating a clear trend of steady progress and quality improvement.
Li Qingxin stated that Yunfu is focusing on building industrial clusters worth hundreds of billions of yuan, with three major industries—intelligent metal manufacturing, green building materials, and modern agriculture—forming a strong momentum. Specifically, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Yunfu's modern agriculture annual output value exceeded 100 billion yuan; annual green steel production reached 6 million tons, making it the largest short-process steelmaking base in Guangdong Province; five large-scale green mining areas, including Guanyinshan and Chongwangling, were established, with an annual mining capacity of 170 million tons, making it the largest sand and gravel aggregate production base in the province, and it is accelerating its development into a prefabricated building supply base for the Greater Bay Area.
Meanwhile, Yunfu actively attracted major projects worth tens of billions of yuan, promoting the implementation of 18 projects worth over 5 billion yuan over the five years. Currently, four projects worth tens of billions of yuan have been completed and put into operation; key projects have accumulated an investment of over 240 billion yuan, more than doubling their initial investment. In addition, Yunfu has emphasized the clustered development of county towns, and the "Hundred-Thousand-Ten-Thousand Project" has been steadily promoted, resulting in three new counties (cities, districts) with an economic output exceeding 30 billion yuan. It has also vigorously promoted industrial development to enrich the people, relying on two national-level and 15 provincial-level modern agricultural industrial parks to cultivate 54 types of local specialties, including Xinxing fragrant lychee and Luoding fish tofu. The annual output value of the Yunan yellow-skinned fruit industry alone reaches over 8 billion yuan. (End)
