1.1 Backgrounds

1.1.1 Project’s Implementation Area and its General Situations

1. Project’s Implementation Area

The Project involves 199 administrative villages of 49 townships of 6 counties of 2 cities (prefectures) in Sichuan Province. The specific implementation areas are shown in Table 1.1-1.

2. Project Area’s Characteristics

1) In the project area, there are a large number of poor residents with a high poverty incidence. There are absolute poverty and relative poverty, region-specific poverty and poor population, economy-led poverty and knowledge-led poverty, returning to poverty and new poverty at the same time.

2) The rural human capital is uncompetitive. The residents are of poor physical conditions, of less vocational education and training, of low capacity and quality, and of less participation in social activities.

3) The two project counties under Luzhou City are located in the ranges of Daloushan Mountain and Xueshan Mountain at an altitude of about 700m, while the 4 project counties under Liangshan Prefecture are located in Daliangshan Mountain at an altitude of more than 2000m. Therefore, the natural environment is harsh with frequent natural disasters.

4) Since the project villages lack public services, many residents fell into poverty or relapsed into poverty due to illness and schooling and other issues.

5) With poor infrastructure, the project villages are vulnerable to natural disasters.

6) The large scale industrial development is suffocated because the farm produce are within several varieties, with low technology content and extensive management.

7) The narrow-minded farmers lack self-development ability and awareness to make innovation.

8) The income source is not diversified, the market information acquisition is not smooth, the sale channel for agriculture is narrow, and product brands are not well established.

1.1.2 Project Implementation and Administrative Units

In accordance with the innovation in administrative requirements and farmer organization in the Project, the project administrative organization is divided into the project leading system, the project implementation system and the technical support system.

Sichuan Province sets up a Project Leading Group (whose responsibility could be taken by the Provincial Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development), while the Foreign Capital Project Management Center of the Province is responsible for the organization and implementation of the Project. The cities (prefectures) and counties involved in the Project set up a Leading Group (which could be taken by the Leading Groups of Poverty Alleviation and Development at city, prefecture and county levels), while the Foreign Capital Project Management Centers at city, prefecture and county levels are responsible for the organization and implementation of the Project. All project townships and towns set up project work stations. Villages set up Project Implementation Teams or Farmer Professional Cooperatives which organize farmers to implement and manage the projects for industry-based poverty alleviation. In sum, a top-down organization and administration network is formed to guarantee the smooth implementation of the Project.

1.2 Conformity Analysis of Project Construction to Related Industrial Policies and Planning

1.2.1 Conformity of the Project to Industrial Policies

According to the Catalogue for Guiding Industry Restructuring (2011 Version) (Amendment) (issued by Order No. 9 of the National Development and Reform Commission, amended on February 16, 2013), the Component “Livestock and Poultry Breeding” under the Project belongs to Article 5 Development and application of technologies for the standardized breeding of livestock and poultry on a large scale, Item 1 Agriculture and Forestry, Category 1 Encouragement; the Component “Agriculture Development” belongs to Article 2 Construction of agricultural product bases and Article 8 Selection, breeding, breed conservation, and development of the fine varieties of animals and plants (including wild animals and plants); biological seed breeding; and production, processing, storage, and appraisal of seeds, Item 1 Agriculture and Forestry, Category 1 Encouragement; the Component “Food Processing” belongs to Article 32 Storage and transport, preservation, processing and comprehensive utilization of products from agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, Item 1 Agriculture and Forestry, Category 1 Encouragement; the Component “Water Conservancy Engineering” belongs to Article 23 Farmland water conservancy facilities construction (irrigation and drainage channels, sluice gates, pump stations and so on), Item 2 Water Conservancy, Category 1 Encouragement; the Component “Road Construction” belongs to Article 12 Rural roads construction, Item 24 Highway and Road Transport (including Urban Passenger Traffic), Category 1 Encouragement; no technologies, equipment or raw materials which are restricted and to be eliminated are involved during the construction and operation of all Components.

The Project is not stipulated by the Catalogue of Restricted Uses of Land (2012 Version) and the Catalogue of Prohibited Uses of Land (2012 Version) issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission. Therefore, the construction of the Project conforms to the industrial policies and land policies of China.

1.3.7 Assessment Standard

According to the environmental functional district planning and the specific location of the project area, quality standard and emission standard are selected for all environmental elements. The assessment is implemented in accordance with the environmental standard recognized by the regional environmental protection bureaus (in accordance with the industrial emission standard if any).

1. Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water

1) Quality standard: the water body in the assessment area is evaluated according to the Category III Standard in the Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002). The specific standard values are shown in Table 1.3-1.

Table 1.3-1 Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (Extract)

Unit: mg/L (except pH)

|Item |pH |COD |BOD5 |DO |Petroleum |NH3-N |Potassium Permanganate |

| | | | | | | |Index |

2) Emission Standard: the Project is located in rural areas. Currently, there is no any sewage treatment facilities except for septic tanks. In the Project, the wastewater in the construction period is utilized in the farm irrigation after the primary treatment. The cultivation wastewater in the operation period is pre-treated and utilized in farmland irrigation. The wastewater from the orange commercialized production line and white konjak processing plant, and sanitary wastewater may be treated on the basis of the specific situations and counterpart environmental protection facilities. Where there are treatment facilities provided by wastewater treatment stations, the Primary Standard in the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-1996) is adopted for the assessment, where there is no wastewater treatment station, Standards for Irrigation Water Quality (GB5084-2005) is adopted for the assessment.

2. Ambient Air Quality Assessment Standards

1) Quality Standard

The ambient air quality in the project area is evaluated according to the Secondary Standard in the Ambient Air Quality Standards (GB3095-2012) and the maximum allowable concentration of hazardous substance in residence districts set in the Sanitary Standard for Industrial Enterprise Design (TJ36-79). The related standard values are shown in Table 1.3-4.
