廣西—東盟經濟技術開發區:“四區”聯動,爭取“三項”全能
□ 文/本刊記者 黎敏
近年來,隨著中國—東盟雙邊關系的日益密切,作為中國唯一與東盟國家海陸相連的省區,以及中國—東盟博覽會永久舉辦地,“近水樓臺”的廣西成為了中國與東盟合作的前沿門戶,廣西北部灣經濟區也成為了廣西對接東盟的一大核心。在廣西北部灣經濟區內,要說哪個開發區與東盟的聯系最為緊密,廣西—東盟經濟技術開發區(以下簡稱“東盟經開區”)絕對是當之無愧的重要代表。
成立于2004年的東盟經開區,于2013 年升級為中國國家級經濟技術開發區,其前身為廣西武鳴華僑農場,是全國最大的華僑農場,在20世紀60年代,曾安置印尼、越南等10 個東盟國家的歸國華僑1.2萬多人,是中國國務院僑辦重點聯系單位。如今東盟經開區內仍居住著7000多歸僑僑眷,他們不僅為東盟經開區帶來了濃郁的東盟文化,更與包括東盟國家在內的30多個國家和地區的親友保持著深厚的親緣關系和密切的信息聯系,成為東盟經開區寶貴的“東盟資源”。
“東盟經開區的發展離不開兩張牌,一張是‘僑’牌,一張是‘東盟’牌。”東盟經開區管委會負責人說,“東盟經開區將充分利用‘僑’的優勢,繼續發揮好僑民的紐帶作用,密切與東盟國家的聯系,利用好國內、國外兩種資源,促成與東盟國家產業合作,助推產業結構優化、轉型、升級,實現提質保量”。
據了解,東盟經開區除了“東盟資源”,在空間資源、生態環境、產業集聚上也具有一定的優勢。但面對經濟增速放緩的壓力,東盟經開區也與其他園區一樣面臨著逆流而上的難題。“經過研判、分析,我們認為經濟新常態,也正是市場資源重新優化配置的時期,是企業重新審視市場、布局戰略的機遇期,因此,東盟經開區立足自身優勢及特點,提出了‘堅持工業主導、四區聯動發展,實現追趕跨越’的發展戰略,主動作為,化危為機。”東盟經開區管委會負責人說。
根據“四區聯動”的發展戰略,在東盟經開區180平方公里的土地上,綜合產業園區、南寧教育園區、現代農業示范區、文化旅游休閑區將協同發展,為把東盟經開區打造成為農業、工業、現代服務業“三項全能”的開發區提供前進動力。
工業始終是東盟開發區的優勢主導,經過近年來的發展,東盟經開區已經形成了“食品加工、生物醫藥、機械制造”三大支柱產業格局,共有企業280多家,其中規模以上企業 82個,產業集群優勢明顯,百威啤酒、雙匯食品、中糧集團、伊利冷飲等一批知名企業相繼落戶。特別是食品加工業的發展,既是東盟經開區立足自身優勢的選擇,也是“打造廣西 最大的食品加工基地”的使命使然。“但從東盟經開區長遠發展來看,我們不僅僅要堅持食品加工這一產業定位,也要引進一些科技含量高、市場前景好、帶動作用強的產業及企業,這樣才能保證未來經開區的產業競爭力。”東盟經開區管委會負責人說。
在此背景下,東盟經開區自 2015 年起加大了對食品加工及新興產業的招商力度,著重招大引強。僅2015年,就有蘭州科天綠色環保高分子材料產業園、廣東科利亞現代農業機械裝備、華潤雪花啤酒、華晨旅居車制造基地等產值過億的重大項目進駐,成為東盟經開區在經濟下行壓力之下交出的一份優秀成績單。
從東盟經開區管委會負責人那兒記者還了解到,蘭州科天綠色環保高分子材料產業園作為高精尖、環保項目一度成為各大城市、園區爭取的“香餑餑”,但企業最終選擇了東盟經開區,一方面是看中了東盟經開區配套成熟,享有廣西北部灣經濟區優惠政策、區位優勢和園區熱誠的招商服務,另一方面也是看中了東盟經開區的“東盟資源”,利于企業為進入東盟市場做足準備。而這些利好,也是東盟經開區在工業發展中提質保量,完善產業格局的重要保障。
根據南寧市的規劃,未來武鳴與東盟經開區之間將布局南寧的教育園區,總面積為 31.27 平方公里,其中東盟經開區作為西片區,共規劃 19.09 平方公里。
在“產學研”一體化發展的大趨勢下,南寧教育園區將按照“校內實訓基地 +企業實訓基地 + 科技成果孵化基地 + 區域共享型生產性實訓基地”四種形式來統籌布局。總人口規模預測為 33萬~37萬人,可容納 25 ~30 所高校入駐。
“教育園區的建立,對于園區產業的發展有巨大的推動作用和長遠的戰略意義。”東盟經開區管委會負責人說,“首先,園區的發展需要大量人才,學校的入駐為園區發展蓄好了人才之源;其次,園區內的企業和實訓基地能夠為學生進入社會、適應生產提供實訓機會,為培養人才提供服務;再次,教育園區大量的人口,將帶旺園區的人氣,從而促進現代服務業的發展;最后,從長遠看,教育園區對于逐步改善園區市民的素質結構也有著潛移默化的積極影響。”
目前,投資10 億元、占地 300畝的廣西職業技能實訓基地,及 7所高校已落戶東盟經開區。一個涵蓋基礎教育、職業教育、高等教育,帶動“產學研”一體化發展的教育園區即將鋒芒初顯。

東盟經開區大帽新區一角
前身為華僑農場的東盟經開區,發展農業可以說是其“老本行”,已規劃有88平方公里的農業示范區。但是一直以來,碎片化管理,沒有規模經營及品牌是開發區農業發展的掣肘。
針對這一情況,東盟經開區決定發揮處于南寧首府 1小時經濟圈內的優勢,發展特色農業、休閑觀光農業和規模養殖。“我們將對部分土地進行合理適度流轉,引入社會資本,借助有實力、有資金的企業整合園區農業資源,采用‘公司 + 基地 + 農戶’的模式進行規模化、標準化生產,從而打響東盟經開區特色農業、休閑觀光農業的品牌。”據東盟經開區管委會負責人介紹,近年來,東盟經開區按照“突出重點、打造亮點”的現代農業示范區的發展思路,立足農業實際,在“招小”“引特”上找捷徑,農業產業化進程不斷加快。目前已有廣西農科院農業科研基地、廣西水果總站、廣西蠶業總站、廣西技術推廣總站等一批農業企業和農業科研項目落戶,博元生態農業園、金佛源生態園以及多個無公害瓜果采摘基地。東盟經開區已經成為廣西最大的西甜瓜生產基地、美國西提生產基地,以及服務南寧的蔬菜基地。
2014 年,南寧市舉辦第 45 屆世界體操錦標賽,東盟經開區一舉成為指定蔬果供應點,贏得了特色農業、休閑觀光農業發展的好彩頭。
走進東盟經開區,山清水秀的喀斯特地貌讓人心曠神怡。為了充分利用良好的生態資源發展文化旅游,東盟經開區規劃了20多平方公里的文化旅游休閑區。如今,這塊風光怡人的土地,將迎來“顛覆式”的發展機遇。
據東盟經開區管委會負責人介紹,近年來東盟經開區一直致力于促成重大文化旅游項目——“完美世界”盡快落戶。“該項目是以澳大利亞國際第二大的主題公園營運商威秀公司和廣西投資集團聯合建設的,總投資 500 億元,開發建設年限為10年;項目建成后,每年將拉動人流量達 300~500 萬人次,類似于廣東的長隆主題公園。”東盟經開區管委會負責人說,“目前項目正在穩步推進,預計首期投資 80 億元,建立三個主題公園,分別是高空游樂主題公園、水上世界和影視世界。”
通過東盟經開區管委會負責人的描繪,一個充滿歡聲笑語的主題公園已然輪廓分明,而作為“四區”中的一區,文化旅游休閑區也將連同綜合產業園區、南寧教育園區及現代農業示范區,共同支撐起東盟經開區前程似錦的未來。

Guangxi, not only the province in China nearest to ASEAN but also the permanent venue of China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO), has developed into the crucial gateway to China-ASEAN cooperation; meanwhile, Guangxi ASEAN Economic and Technological Development Zone (GAETDZ), located in Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone which is a core region close to ASEAN, has also become the most typical example for facilitating the development of China-ASEAN economic cooperation.
GAETDZ (formerly known as Guangxi Wuming Overseas Chinese Farm), set up in 2004, was officially approved to be listed as one of the state-level economic and technological development zones in 2013. As early as the 1960s, more than 12 thousand returned overseas Chinese from ten ASEAN countries including Indonesia and Vietnam were properly relocated in Guangxi Wuming Overseas Chinese Farm, the largest one of its kind in China. According to the statistics, there are still over 7,000 returned overseas Chinese and their families living in GAETDZ now, thus making distinctive ASEAN culture and valuable “ASEAN resources” (namely deep-seated relative relationships with and close information contacts with relatives and friends in ASEAN countries and beyond) accessible to the zone.

The workshop of Guangxi Pearl River Beer Co., Ltd.
“The development of GAETDZ mainly relies on two ‘trump cards”: one is returned overseas Chinese, and the other ASEAN resources,” said Mr. He Shanghan, Director of GAETDZ Administrative Committee. He added that, apart from ASEAN resources, GAETDZ is also superior in space resources, ecological environment and industrial cluster.
With the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the development strategy of keeping industry the first priority, achieving the interactive development of four major projects and pursuing leapfrog development was put forward by GAETDZ on the basis of its own competitive strengths and characteristics, aiming at proactively eliminating obstacles to development on the road ahead. As set out in the development strategy, the synergetic development of Integrated Industries Park, Nanning Educational Park, Modern Agriculture Demonstration Site and Cultural Tourism & Resort Area will be achieved, and thereby to give a boost to the creation of a development zone integrating agriculture, industry and modern service industry.
Integrated Industries Park: To optimize industrial layout qualitatively and quantitatively
For the past few years, industry has been playing a dominant role in the development of GAETDZ, where an industrial layout made up of three pillar industries — food processing, biological medicine and machinery manufacturing— has been created. In addition, a total of over 280 enterprises(including 82 above a designated size)like Budweiser beer, Shuanghui Group, COFCO and Yili Grouphave established their branches in the zone, a ref ection of competitive advantages possessed by the industrial cluster. It is worth mentioning that greater emphasis has been placed on the introduction of food processing and emerging industries since 2015, when several major projects worth 100 million yuan, such as Lanzhou SCISKY Green High-polymer Material Industrial Park, Guangdong Kolea Modern Agricultural Equipment, and China Resources Beer, settled in successively.
Nanning Educational Park: To pursue interactive development through industry-universityresearch cooperation
Nanning Educational Park is projected to be built in the area between Wuming County and GAETDZ, covering 31.27 square kilometers (19.09 square kilometers of GAETDZ included), according to Nanning’s development planning.
By connecting campus training base, enterprise training base, scientific and technological achievements incubator, and productive practice base featuring district sharing, the total population in the park is predicted to be within a range of 330-370 thousand, and 25-30 universities and colleges could move in. As of now, Guangxi Occasional Skills Training Base, with the total investment of one billion yuan and the land area of 20 hectares, has been set up in GAETDZ, followed by seven colleges. It is foreseeable that preliminary achievements will be made in the park characterized by elementary education, vocational education and higher education in the future.
Agriculture Demonstration Site: To build an urban vegetable basket project
Developing agriculture can be seen as one of the main tasks of GAETDZ, where an 88-square-kilometer agriculture demonstration area has been planned; however, failure in a largescale operation continues to hamper the development of GAETDZ’s agriculture. To resolve this issue, the strategy of giving priority to agriculture with distinctive features, agritourism farm and large-scale breeding was unveiled, by virtue of “One-hour Economic Circle”based on Nanning, the provincial capital of Guangxi. At present, a number of agricultural enterprises and agricultural science & research items, including the agricultural scientific research base of Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Guangxi Central Fruit Station, Guangxi Central Sericulture Station, and Guangxi Agriculture Technology Promotion Station, have been set up here. GAETDZ has become the largest production base in Guangxi for watermelon and melon and American grape, as well as the largest vegetable base serving Nanning. Of particular note is that GAETDZ was designated as the supply center of vegetables and fruits for the 45thWorld Gymnastics Championships held in Nanning in 2014.
Cultural Tourism & Resort Area: To construct a theme park oriented towards ASEAN
GAETDZ geographically boasts karst landform, with picturesque scenery. To develop cultural tourism by taking full advantage of favorable ecological resources, a cultural tourism & resort area covering more than 20 square kilometers was planned for construction. Mr. He noted that efforts were made to facilitate the implementation of a major cultural tourism item called “Perfect World” ahead of schedule in 2015.“Perfect World is funded by Village Roadshow, the second largest themepark operator in Australia, and Guangxi Investment Group, with the total investment of 50 billion yuan, and it is supposed to be completed in ten years. If completed, 3-5 million visitors would be attracted to this site per year.”
