青海省省委常委、常务副省长徐福顺在第五届国际沙棘协会大会开幕式上的致辞

（2011年9月4日）

尊敬的刘宁副部长，各位来宾，女士们、先生们：

大家上午好！

今天，我们相聚在美丽的夏都西宁，共同庆祝第五届国际沙棘协会大会隆重开幕！在此，我代表青海省委、省政府向莅临大会的各位领导、专家学者以及企业界的朋友们表示热烈的欢迎和衷心的感谢！

国际沙棘大会是国际沙棘界最高级别的会议，是沙棘行业的 “奥林匹克”盛会。今天，来自世界各国专门研究与开发沙棘产业的专家、学者和企业家们汇聚在一起，相互交流学习，共享沙棘领域取得的新成果，必将进一步加快沙棘产业的研究与开发进程，促进国际间的交流与合作，推进沙棘产业的快速健康发展。

青藏高原是世界沙棘的起源地，青海不仅是国内沙棘资源分布最广、面积最大的省份，而且独特的高原气候培育出独有的肋果沙棘和西藏沙棘，成为沙棘中的瑰宝。近年来，在省委、省政府的大力支持下，在各企业的共同努力下，青海在沙棘种植、产业化发展等方面取得了长足进步。目前，全省有沙棘资源400多万亩，约占全国沙棘资源总量的10%；沙棘产品出口占全国沙棘产品出口总额的三分之二以上；沙棘产品广泛应用于医药、保健、食品等行业。与此同时，我们不断加大对外交流合作的力度，积极参与国际沙棘产品市场的推广，先后与德国、法国、美国、加拿大、巴西、俄罗斯等国建立了良好、广泛的商业合作关系，有力地推动了沙棘产业的国际化发展。

本届大会的召开，对我们进一步展示大美青海形象、展示青海高原特色资源产业提供了良好的机遇，也为国内外沙棘组织、企业和沙棘工作者提供了一个学术交流、合作洽谈的良好平台。希望与会专家、学者及企业家们，在交流经验、探讨问题、研究对策的同时，充分展示国际国内沙棘产业发展的最新产品和技术，努力实现沙棘产业生态效益、经济效益、社会效益的有机统一，为推动沙棘产业蓬勃发展做出新的更大贡献！

最后，预祝第五届国际沙棘大会取得圆满成功！祝各位领导、各位来宾在青期间工作顺利、身体健康、生活愉快！
