As spring tides surge, it is a time for vigorous effort and advancement. On February 24, the first working day after the Spring Festival holiday, Provincial Party Secretary Wang Ning conducted a research tour in Mile City, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Visiting industrial parks and enterprises, he inspected production lines and inquired about development progress, sending a strong signal across the province to "start the spring with intensive work." Wang Ning visited Mile Haoxiang Technology Company, carefully examining products and asking detailed questions about production and sales.
Choosing Mile Industrial Park as his first stop after the holiday, Wang Ning observed, listened, and discussed throughout his tour. From the low-altitude economy to plateau-specific agriculture, and from biomedicine to new materials, the pathways for industrial development vary, but the common thread is a firm emphasis on "action." Wang Ning stressed the importance of maintaining high morale, taking the lead, starting the spring with intensive efforts, accelerating progress with determination, and striving to achieve a strong start for the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
**Low-Altitude Economy: Forging a Path Toward Innovation** In recent years, amid a new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation, Mile City has seized opportunities in the low-altitude economy, establishing a pilot zone integrating general aviation and UAV R&D and manufacturing, low-altitude tourism, aviation sports and leisure, aviation border trade, and aviation education and training. Currently, the city hosts 11 market entities in the low-altitude economy sector, with the comprehensive output value of the industry reaching 168 million yuan in 2025.
As a leading enterprise in Mile's low-altitude economy, Mile Haoxiang Technology Company specializes in the R&D, production, and sales of model aircraft engines, with an annual output exceeding 40,000 units. Its annual production capacity for light aircraft reaches 200, and its products are highly popular in the market. Among them, the company's newly developed high-performance two-seat all-composite light aircraft DL-2L boasts 100% independent intellectual property rights, a maximum takeoff weight of 600 kilograms, and a maximum range of 1,500 kilometers. Building on its self-developed light aircraft, the company has invested in constructing the first temporary landing point for general aviation aircraft, engaging in businesses such as forest protection, medical rescue, flight training, fire patrols, and flight experiences. Wang Ning encouraged the company to deepen its focus on the low-altitude industry, increase R&D efforts, expand its portfolio of flagship products, and continuously enhance market competitiveness. He also urged relevant provincial departments to leverage Yunnan's extensive application scenarios, strengthen planning guidance, actively cultivate market entities, and support the clustered development of low-altitude manufacturing to achieve breakthroughs in this emerging sector.
**A Blueberry: Building a Billion-Yuan Industry** Plateau-specific agriculture is a prominent feature of Honghe Prefecture. At the "Honghe Jiuhong+" front-store-back-factory sales center, Xiangye variety strawberries emit a delicate fragrance, while沃柑 (Wogan) oranges appear golden, plump, and fresh. A wide array of specialty Yunnan products from across Honghe Prefecture, including freeze-dried roses, dairy cakes, yellow rock sugar, Hani sour tea, and terrace red rice noodles, are neatly displayed on shelves. It is reported that "Honghe Jiuhong+" has pioneered a marketing model integrating front stores with back factories, promoting agricultural specialties such as vegetables, fruits, flowers, rice, livestock, alcohol, sugar, medicine, and tea produced by farmers from various counties and cities in Honghe to broader markets.
Learning that "Honghe Jiuhong+" utilizes both online and offline sales channels to effectively help local specialty products expand their market reach and improve quality and efficiency, Wang Ning inquired, "Which product category has the best sales performance?" The head of the Honghe Prefecture Jiuhong Industrial Development Association responded: Honghe blueberries, with an output value exceeding 10 billion yuan; additionally, the output value of Shiping tofu series products has also surpassed 6 billion yuan. It is understood that the platform not only promotes the chain development of single agricultural products like grapes, blueberries, roses, and sugarcane but also broadens channels for increasing farmers' incomes and empowers the accelerated development of deep processing in the green food industry. Wang Ning emphasized the need to cultivate leading processing and sales enterprises based in industrial parks, vigorously promote high-quality products from remote areas, create strong brands, achieve good prices, and integrate the development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries to ensure farmers gain income, enterprises achieve profits, and the government secures tax revenue.
**A Flower: Cultivating a New Frontier** Within the Mile Industrial Park, an emerging force is moving from the laboratory to the production line. Among them, Yunnan Biological Valley Pharmaceutical, focusing on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for many years, is a leading enterprise in the Erigeron breviscapus medicine industry. Six out of the company's seven Erigeron breviscapus series products have been included and retained in the 2024 National Medical Insurance Directory. Wang Ning engaged in in-depth discussions with the company's management, delving into the core competitiveness of flagship products, the long-term challenges of drug R&D, and the company's future growth drivers.
The company's management explained that after relocating from Kunming to Mile, the first-phase factory is now operational, and the second-phase factory is expected to be fully operational by June this year. Upon reaching full capacity, the annual output value is projected to exceed 2 billion yuan, creating over 500 jobs and generating 200-300 million yuan in additional tax revenue. Wang Ning affirmed these achievements and expressed high expectations for the company's future development.
Meanwhile, at the Yuxing Diamond Industrial Park within the zone, workers are intensively preparing for the commencement of operations in May. Once fully operational, the park is expected to produce 29,000 tons of water diamonds and hot-fix rhinestones annually, along with 15 million carats of CVD lab-grown diamonds. The projected annual output value exceeds 2 billion yuan, with tax revenue over 100 million yuan and employment for more than 1,000 people. The diamonds cultivated here not only significantly reduce the cost of diamond jewelry but also, as a cutting-edge semiconductor new material, demonstrate broad application prospects in numerous advanced fields. Wang Ning encouraged the enterprise to further expand application scenarios and scale up industrial operations.
In Mile, the trajectory of the industrial park's upgrading, the breakthrough of the low-altitude economy from scratch, and the tangible results of rural revitalization in increasing farmers' incomes together paint a vivid picture of high-quality development. Behind this picture lie three key principles: the spirit of "pioneering," the drive for "innovation," and the style of "action." This fervent drive, emanating from Mile, resonates across the Yunling region, converging into a powerful force striving for a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
