Current Situation and Development Prospect of Tung Oil Tree (Vernicia fordii) in Chongqing Three Gorges Reservoir Area

Abstract:

In Chongqing Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRAC), the natural conditions of production of Tung oil tree (Vernicia fordii) are advantageous. It has an abundant cultivated varieties resource, a long history of cultivation, and is World-renowned by its excellent quality of oil. After 1990s, Tung oil production is gradually shrinking, a large number of Tung oil trees resources had been destroyed, Due to the excessive use of fossil fuels in today's world, however, there have been the deterioration of the environment and energy crisis. So clean and green biomass energy sources are favored. This paper introduces the resource status and distribution area of Tung oil trees, analyzes the planting advantages and development prospects of Tung oil trees, and provides suggestion on the development of the Tung oil trees industry in the TGRAC.
