The Sustainable and Efficient Development of Camphor Oil Forests Led by New Quality Productive Forces
⑴Background——Linalool is an essential compound for the global fragrance and pharmaceutical indus-tries,and Cinnamomum camphora(L.)presl is the key source of linalool.China is one of the major production areas of camphor oil in the world,and the production of camphor oil plays a vital role in the Chinese forestry sec-tor.However,there are still some problems in sustainable management,technological innovation and market mechanism optimization in the development of Chinese camphor oil forests.With the increasing global attention to green development and sustainable production,the sustainable and efficient development of camphor oil forests have become an important task.⑵ Methods——Based on the relevant theories,this paper established the theoretical framework of the new quality productive forces of camphor oil forests.Then,a multidisciplinary approach,combined with literature re-views and case studies,was used to analyze the main scientific and technological advances in camphor oil for-ests,and to assess their impacts on costs efficiency,production processes and resources conservation using the existing advances in camphor trees breeding,innovative extraction techniques and products diversification.Final-ly,after discussing the main problems existing in the operation and development of camphor oil forests,this pa-per put forward the development countermeasures of new quality productive forces of camphor oil forests.⑶ Results——The application of the principles of new quality productive forces has significantly improved the production efficiency of the camphor oil industry.The key technological breakthroughs include:The cultiva-tion of high-quality camphor tree species has increased the output of oil products,and the intensive cultivation has improved the efficiency of land use.In addition,the use of extraction technologies such as low-temperature distillation and supercritical CO2 fluids not only improves the purity and quantity of essential oils,but also re-duces the energy consumption and adverse environmental impacts.The high-value products created from camphor by-products,such as bioactive compounds,open up new markets and enhance the competitive advantage of the camphor oil industry.However,despite these advances,there are still some problems,including the obsolete e-quipment,limited market penetration,and inefficient allocation of resources,which are constraining the further development of the camphor oil industry.⑷ Conclusions and Discussions——In order to achieve sustainable and efficient development of the camphor oil industry,the following policy suggestions are put forward:First,implement technical equipment up-grading to improve production efficiency.Accelerate technological innovation by improving production processes and adopting more environmentally friendly and efficient technologies.Second,strengthen the breeding of good species to optimize the products structures.Enterprises should establish long-term cooperation with scientific re-search institutions.Local agricultural technology extension departments should establish demonstration bases and carry out technical training.Third,expand the market space and extend the industrial chain.Develop high value-added products,implement digital marketing through e-commerce platforms,and help enterprises participate in international exhibitions,etc.Fourth,promote the circular economy model and improve resource utilization.The government should set up a green industry development fund and provide technical support and training.Fifth,give full play to ecological benefits and improve the level of carbon sinks management.The government should promote the institutionalized development of carbon sinks trading by introducing incentive policies.
