Maoming Municipal Government held a press conference in Guangzhou News Center on December 7, 2010 and Guo Yuanqiang, Deputy Mayor of the People's Government of Maoming City briefed the media about Maoming's petrochemical and agricultural industry.

According to him, despite the leading Maoming Petrochemical Corporation yielded a capacity of refining 13.5 million tons of oil and producing 1 million tons of ethylene per year, the petrochemical industry in Maoming is not powerful. To build into a world-class petrochemical base, Maoming is now striving efforts on strengthening giant Maoming Petrochemical Corporation, expanding the processing petrochemical products industry and perfecting petrochemical industry chain.

As for agricultural industry, Guo said Maoming grabs three titles in term of rice, vegetables and meat production. Maoming also tops the production base title in fruit, economic forest, Litchi and Tilapia. However, Maoming's agriculture is demonstrated by the low level of industrialization and undeveloped farm produce processing industry. To build into a modern agriculture base, Guo listed the following aspects:

To improve agriculture industrialization based on the farm produce processing zone; To expand agriculture scale by promoting the unique agriculture resources; A total of seven large modern agriculture pilot parks and 50 farm produce production bases will be built during the 12th Five-year plan; To improve the safety standards of farm produce; And to improve peasants' livelihood.
