Speaking of how to speed up the development of Zhoukou during the "12th Five-Year" period, Mao Chaofeng said that we should try our best to win the position of the shoe industry by building the opportunity of the Central Plains Economic Zone.

To this end, the Zhoukou municipal government organized relevant experts and research institutions, formulated the "Zhoukou footwear industry development plan", and formulated preferential policies for industrial development, planning and packaging a number of labor-intensive projects mainly based on shoemaking industry, further consolidating the foundation for undertaking labor-intensive industries.

Zhoukou has adopted a combination of "taking the initiative and striving for support". On the one hand, it has carried out investment promotion activities on its own initiative and undertaken the undertaking of industrial transfer proactively. The other side has been seeking the source and source of information from the relevant departments directly under the provincial government. By 2020, we will strive to build the export base of Zhoukou footwear industry into a well-known and internationally influential "central shoe capital" with the integrity of the industrial chain, strong R & D capability, and independent footwear brand, which integrates shoe production, R & D, and supporting equipment trading.

In October 27th, Shi Jichun, vice governor of Henan, visited Zhoukou personally and awarded the plaque of the "Henan shoe manufacturing export base".

"Straw broker" annual income of 100 thousand

Wang Menghua, 40, is an ordinary farmer in Pan Zhuang village, Chengguan Town, Luyi County, Zhoukou. 3 years ago, he became the first "straw broker" in Luyi county. For this alone, he has a net income of 100 thousand yuan a year.

According to Wang Menghua's recollection, in December 2007, he accidentally heard that the county government's attracting investment enterprise, the national energy Luyi bio power generation company, and the enterprise using straw burning power generation to go into operation immediately, will burn about 800 tons of light every day.

Wang Menghua hurried home to prepare for the purchase of straw. A week later, "Meng Hua straw purchasing station" was set up on the north side of Chengguan Town Street. In the past three years alone, he netted about 300000 yuan. Today, there are more than 50 agents like Wang Menghua who specialize in the acquisition of straw in Luyi county.

In November 15th, Yang Tingjun, Secretary of the Luyi county Party committee, said that Luyi county is a typical large agricultural county. The county produces about 800000 tons of straw per year, and its utilization rate is only 20%.

In December 26, 2007, the national energy Luyi power generation company was put into operation. After the completion of the project, not only will a large number of straw be turned into waste, but also farmers' income can be increased. Meanwhile, the ash after burning can also be used as farmyard manure to increase grain yield.

After several years of operation, the plant's capacity is 210 million kwh this year, and it consumes 300 thousand tons of straw per year. In this way, only about 80000000 farmers can sell straw in the county a year.
