In the vigorous effort to advance the "High-Quality Development Project for Counties, Towns, and Villages" in Zhaoqing, the Party branch of Sihui Cuitian Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. has upheld the principles of "Party building as the guide, technology as the enabler, and linking farmers to help them grow," carving out a new path of integrated "Party building plus industry" development in Huangtian Town, the original producing area of Sihui tangerines. This branch has become a vivid banner on the frontline of serving rural revitalization, and it recently was honored with the title of Advanced Grassroots Party Organization of Zhaoqing.
Sihui Cuitian Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. is located in Huangtian Town, the original producing area of Sihui tangerines, and serves as a leading agricultural enterprise in Zhaoqing and the core zone of the provincial-level modern agricultural industrial park for Sihui tangerines. Under the strong leadership of higher-level Party committees, the company's Party branch has consistently pursued high-quality development guided by high-quality Party building, embedding its fighting fortress within the industrial chain and bringing the role of Party members into play in the fields. Centering on the "little orange" to invigorate a "big industry," it has delivered impressive results in mechanism innovation, brand building, technological breakthroughs, and common prosperity.
Solidifying the Fortress and Innovating Mechanisms to Link and Support Farmers
"Wherever the company develops, the Party organization is established there." As the first Party branch of a tangerine enterprise in Sihui, the Cuitian company's Party branch has actively explored a "company plus Party members plus cooperatives plus farmers" interest-linking mechanism, tightly rallying scattered farmers around the Party organization to jointly drive the revival of the Sihui tangerine industry. The branch has moved the classroom to the fields and delivered technology directly into farmers' hands. Since 2020, the Party branch has taken the lead in organizing 36 sessions of technical training with experts from research institutions, training more than 12,000 person-times in total. It has also built a thousand-mu high-standard demonstration orchard as a platform for exchange and practice, hosting over 1,000 farmers from within and outside the city for exchange and study since 2025. Through Party building leadership, not only have local farmers' production skills been improved, but fruit growers have also joined forces to develop together and share in the value-added benefits of the industry, truly achieving the goal of "building one organization, revitalizing one industry, and enriching one region."
The Red Engine and Technological Empowerment to Improve Quality and Efficiency
Facing the difficulties the tangerine industry once suffered from the impact of citrus greening disease, the Party branch took the lead in forming a Party member technical task force and vigorously implemented a strategy of strengthening agriculture through science and technology. The branch promoted the construction of a full-coverage integrated water and fertilizer system to precisely regulate water and nutrient supply, achieving the efficient goal of "orchard established in one year, fruiting in two years, and a bumper harvest in three years." It led the formulation of four enterprise and group standards including the "Code of Practice for the Breeding of Disease-Free Seedlings of Sihui Tangerines," preserved two virus-free original varieties and nine germplasm resources, and shouldered the important task of serving as an industrial demonstration base for a national key laboratory. To enhance the industry's risk resistance, Party member backbone members took the lead in introducing 11 new citrus varieties for experimental cultivation, continuously building momentum for the protection of Sihui tangerine germplasm resources and variety improvement. Under the branch's impetus, the company has successively been recognized as an industrial demonstration base of the Guangdong Province "Double Hundred Action" Rural Industry Development University Alliance, a key agricultural leading enterprise of Zhaoqing, one of the Top 100 Specialty Products of Guangdong Province Modern Agricultural Industrial Parks, one of the Top Ten Famous and High-Quality Products of Zhaoqing (Sihui), a second prize winner of the Guangdong Province Agricultural Technology Promotion Award, and a standardized demonstration zone for Sihui tangerine cultivation in Guangdong Province, breathing new technological vitality into this time-honored specialty.
Raising the Brand and Leveraging People's Congress Support to Unlock a Big Industry
The Party branch adheres to the belief that "a brand is its lifeblood," polishing the registered trademark "Huagong Brand" and helping Sihui tangerines pass the review for National Geographical Indication Protected Product status. In 2023, three products—tangerines, tea branch mandarins, and tribute mandarins—obtained green food certification and were honored with titles such as "National Famous, Special, Excellent, and New Agricultural Product." Through more than 70 coordinated media promotional reports at various levels, Sihui tangerines have been propelled beyond Zhaoqing and into the Greater Bay Area. In December 2023, relying on the industrial park, a People's Congress representative liaison station for the Sihui Huangtian Town tangerine specialty industry was established at Cuitian company. The Party branch proactively provided forward-leaning services, forming a dual safeguard pattern of "Party flag leadership plus People's Congress support." Since the station's establishment, it has visited more than 600 farming households, 14 cooperatives, and 36 enterprises, collected over 50 suggestions, and precisely resolved bottlenecks in industrial development. In June 2025, the station became the only representative industry liaison station in Zhaoqing selected for direct contact by the Provincial People's Congress, with comprehensive upgrades to both software and hardware, injecting solid strength into the high-quality development of the industry.
Abundant Fruits and the Vanguard Banner Flying High
Today, the Cuitian company's Party branch has grown from a single agricultural enterprise Party organization into a red industrial hub integrating industry, academia, and research as well as production and marketing. It has successively received multiple honors including the Guangdong Province "Double Hundred Action" Rural Industry Development University Alliance Industrial Demonstration Base, Zhaoqing Key Agricultural Leading Enterprise, and one of the Top 100 Specialty Products of Guangdong Province Modern Agricultural Industrial Parks. On the new journey of comprehensively advancing rural revitalization, the Party branch of Sihui Cuitian Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to give full play to the fighting fortress role of an advanced grassroots Party organization, letting every orange tree bear "fruits of happiness" and letting the Party flag fly high in the original producing area of Sihui tangerines.
