Coordinating development of agricultural resources and environment of the tropic region in Yunnan Province

Abstract

The tropic region of Yunnan is a treasurable land with rich resources and great development potentials. The natural environment and resources of the region are characterized by a complicated topography, great height deviation, monsoon climate as well as abound biological resources. Therefore, the tropic region becomes an ideal place for developing agricultural production base, though it do exist such problems as adverse location, sparsely distributed land resources, poor traffic conditions and deterioration of ecological environment. In order to further exploit the tropical resources and to implement comprehensive harnessing, we should take the following countermeasures: Working out a comprehensive development planning; restoring ecological environment; establishing agricultural production base; tapping fully water resources; constructing the traffic line and developing the border ports and tourism spots.
