Its standing timber stock exceeds 18 million cubic meters, and among its 1.72 million mu of commercial forests, quality tree species such as Chinese fir and masson pine provide stable raw material guarantees for deep timber processing.

Chen Caiyong, director of the Sandu Autonomous County Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that Sandu's success in attracting Jusheng Wood Industry to settle there was due precisely to these uniquely endowed ecological resources, which are the core confidence behind attracting enterprises.

In recent years, Sandu has fully leveraged its own resource advantages, worked hard on optimizing the industrial structure, improving supporting infrastructure, and strengthening external investment attraction, continuously promoting the growth of its leading forestry industry and following a path of clustered and intensive development.

Sandu seeks both lucid waters and lush mountains and mountains of gold and silver. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the Party committee and government of Sandu Autonomous County have kept this mission firmly in mind, adhered to the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and insisted on taking the forestry industry as the leading industrial sector. Using forestry as a breakthrough point, and through precise investment attraction and industrial chain cultivation, the county has embarked on a clustered development path that delivers both ecological and economic benefits.

Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Sandu has cumulatively introduced 97 enterprises and 172 projects, including Nature Forestry Group, Shengjia Smart Home, and China Power. It is estimated that in 2025, the growth rate of industrial added value above designated size will reach 25%. Among them, the number of forestry enterprises above designated size has reached 11, and the forestry industry's output value in 2025 is expected to reach RMB 460 million, up 35.5. percentage points from 2020. Forestry output accounts for 46% of the county's total industrial output above designated size.

Wu Dan, deputy director of the Sandu Autonomous County Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that in order to promote the county's forestry industrial chain from scattered processing to intensive and high-end development, Sandu has combined the policy opportunity set out in the Guizhou Province 14th Five-Year Plan for Forestry and Grassland Protection and Development, which identifies four prefectures including Qiannan and Qiandongnan as key areas for building deep timber processing industrial parks, together with Sandu's two major advantages of serving the southwest market, favorable transportation location, and abundant timber resources within the county and within 200 kilometers of the surrounding area. On this basis, Sandu has clarified an industrial system led by forestry and supplemented by three supporting sectors and one distinctive sector, as well as an industrial park layout of one zone and four parks. Focusing on the timber processing industrial chain, it is prioritizing the development of products such as blockboards, eco-boards, solid wood flooring, wooden pallets, solid wood furniture, and customized home furnishing.

At the same time, Sandu is strengthening supporting industries such as decorative surface materials, woodworking machinery, and hardware accessories, building a timber industry system with rational layout, intensive development, complete industrial chains, optimized structure, and good efficiency. It is committed to turning the Sandu Forestry Industrial Park into a production base for eco-boards in southwest China and a demonstration zone for the high-quality development of Guizhou's forestry industry, striving to achieve a total timber industry output value of more than RMB 7. billion by 2035.

In addition, the Party committee and government of Qiannan Prefecture have issued Several Measures to Support Sandu Shui Autonomous County in Creating the Qiannan Forestry Industrial Park, fully supporting Sandu in building the Qiannan Forestry Industrial Park.

Wang Chengguang, Party secretary and director of the Sandu Autonomous County Forestry Bureau, said that going forward the county will actively support the development of the forestry industry. It will build a digital timber trading platform and a timber trading distribution center, formulate the Measures for Digital Timber Trading in Sandu Shui Autonomous County, ensure the supply of raw materials for forestry enterprises, empower forestry through digital tools, activate industry through distribution, and help upgrade the full chain of forestry from planting, harvesting, transportation, processing, to sales.

At the same time, it will continue attracting enterprises to settle in, expand the forestry industry cluster, and let the value of one tree continue extending in Sandu, writing a new chapter for building an industrially strong county with a beautiful ecology and developed industries.
