The Shanxi Forestry and Grassland Bureau has introduced 16 measures across five key areas to support the high-quality development of the under-forest economy, including optimizing development space, revitalizing forest resources and idle assets, developing specialty industries, enhancing technological support, and increasing policy and financial backing.

These measures emphasize ecological priority by scientifically designating three categories of under-forest economic spaces: "priority use", "restricted use", and "prohibited use", with differentiated management strategies. The initiative encourages using land returned to forest and economic forest orchards, such as walnut and red date plantations, for under-forest economic activities.

Shanxi will support leading enterprises, professional cooperatives, and family forest farms in the under-forest economy, aiming to improve the "leading enterprises + professional cooperatives + farmers" model and promote contract farming. Efforts will also be made to integrate health tourism and the under-forest economy to enhance the "Wellness Shanxi" brand.

The province plans to tackle key technological challenges, establish a comprehensive standard system, and create a provincial expert assistance system. A training framework combining research institute experts and local experts will also be developed.

It will also coordinate central and provincial funds to support the under-forest economy and forest wellness projects, and encourage innovative financial services, including exclusive credit, mortgages, price index insurance, and income insurance.
