On March 25, during the “Dual Attraction and Dual Introduction” matchmaking event for the high-quality development of the star anise industry in Funing, academicians and experts from fields including food science, forestry research, and industrial economics gathered to engage in in-depth discussions on key issues such as technological innovation, policy support, and market prospects. Their insights injected strong intellectual momentum into the high-quality development of Funing’s star anise sector.
On March 17, the “Yunnan News Broadcast” aired a report titled “Yunnan Builds a Diversified Ecological Protection Compensation System to Strengthen China’s Southwestern Ecological Security Barrier.” The report noted that Yunnan Province has secured central budgetary investment and attracted private capital to promote the integrated development of the star anise industry in Funing County, Wenshan Prefecture—covering cultivation, processing, market development, and trading—and has completed construction of the nation’s largest star anise processing plant.
In December 2023, the Yunnan Star Anise Industry Research Institute was established. In December 2024, it was designated by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Science and Technology as a candidate for cultivation as a new-type R&D institution in Yunnan Province, marking the first-ever provincial-level new‑type R&D institution in Wenshan Prefecture. Led by Yunnan Zhongmu Agricultural and Forestry Development Co., Ltd., the institute was co‑founded through collaboration with more than ten research institutions and universities, including the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences; the Guangxi Academy of Sciences; the Guangxi Academy of Forestry; the Yunnan Academy of Forestry; Kunming University of Science and Technology; Southwest Forestry University; Yunnan Minzu University; the Wenshan Prefecture Academy of Agricultural Sciences; the Wenshan Prefecture Academy of Forestry; and the Funing Star Anise Research Institute. It is the country’s first privately‑run research institute dedicated to the star anise industry. Grounded in China’s national star anise resources, the Yunnan Star Anise Industry Research Institute focuses on addressing the sector’s most pressing challenges and development needs, conducting both foundational and applied research. Supported by technological innovation, it seeks to elevate the entire star anise value chain—from classification and breeding to cultivation, management, processing, and comprehensive utilization—while building a sustainable development framework for the industry. The institute strives to become an open, new‑type R&D institution rooted in Yunnan, serving the nation, and extending its influence across Southeast Asia. Since its inception, the Yunnan Star Anise Industry Research Institute has closely aligned itself with the provincial Party Committee and provincial government’s strategic plans to cultivate a distinctive “green food brand” and promote high‑quality development of plateau‑characteristic agriculture. By concentrating on key links in the star anise value chain and positioning technological innovation as its core driving force, the institute has made significant progress in platform development, technological breakthroughs,成果 transformation, and industrial empowerment, demonstrating a robust and fruitful trajectory of growth.
On December 10, Gao Jun, Party Secretary and Director of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Science and Technology, led a delegation to Funing County. During their field visit, they inspected the Yunnan Zhongmu Agricultural and Forestry Development Co., Ltd.’s high‑quality star anise seed‑propagation and shoot‑harvesting base in Funing, conducting on-site assessments and providing guidance on the county’s efforts to achieve high‑quality development in the star anise industry. Concurrently, Chao Zhimao, President of the National Association for Anti‑Aging Cosmetics and a researcher at the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, paid a visit and joined the discussion, exchanging views on industry trends, development recommendations, and potential avenues for collaboration.
On December 3, Yunnan Zhongmu Agricultural and Forestry Development Co., Ltd. participated in the CCTV New Media Live‑Stream Special Program “China Brands, Shared by the World.” Following rigorous review and selection, “Zhongmu Star Anise” was successfully shortlisted as a brand recommended for the live broadcast and was also featured on the central media outlet’s program “Unboxing Premium Products.” Soon, “Zhongmu Star Anise” will make its debut on CCTV’s new‑media platforms, with a CCTV host providing a comprehensive presentation to the public, bringing this distinctive Yunnan plateau spice—hailing from China’s star anise capital—into the homes of millions.
On November 27, Funing County successfully held a meeting to disburse interest-subsidy funds for the 2025 production loans supporting ethnic‑minority trade and specialty products. The event ensured that the state’s preferential policies on ethnic‑minority trade and the production of goods specially needed by ethnic minorities were effectively implemented, providing tangible financial support to help enterprises overcome difficulties and achieve sustainable development, thereby injecting strong momentum into ethnic unity and progress as well as the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Leng Jizhou, Member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Head of the United Front Work Department, attended the meeting and delivered a speech, while Vice County Magistrate Li Wenxiong chaired the proceedings.
This afternoon, the Funing County Forestry and Grassland Bureau, the Yunnan Funing Industrial Park, the Funing County Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, and Yunnan Zhongmu Industrial Co., Ltd. jointly launched the “Party Building Red + Trade Union Blue: Working Together to Make Contributions in the New Era” collaborative initiative. Guided by Party building and anchored by trade union cooperation, the event officially ushers in a new chapter of deep government‑enterprise collaboration, injecting strong momentum into the high‑quality development of the local agricultural and forestry industries.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Funing County has leveraged its unique resource endowments and aligned them closely with local development realities, positioning star anise—a traditional regional specialty—as a key driver for comprehensively revitalizing rural areas and ensuring sustained, stable income growth for farmers. Through comprehensive industrial-chain planning, brand‑oriented operations, and innovation‑driven technological advancement, the county has transformed the star anise industry from a mere resource advantage into an economic one, turning this “small spice” into a vital source of prosperity for farmers and a golden hallmark of the regional economy.
This year marks the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Funing County has firmly anchored itself to the “3815” strategic development goals, achieving remarkable progress in economic growth, industrial upgrading, urban–rural development, and social welfare. The combined output value of key industries such as green aluminum and star anise has risen sharply, while the appearance of both urban and rural areas and the well-being of residents have continued to improve. Behind these achievements lie the steadfast dedication and tireless efforts of countless ordinary people. To highlight this journey, the Funing County Media Center has launched a special series titled “The 14th Five-Year Plan: My Story of Happiness,” using small, personal narratives to showcase broader developments and illuminating the keys to Funing’s progress through the everyday lives of its citizens.
