It has won 15 national honors and brands including the National Advanced County for Scientific and Technological Progress. Before the Tang Dynasty, people in Shanghang were already engaged in agricultural production and growing rice and other crops. Due to the long-term constraints of feudal production relations, frequent disasters, depressed rural economy, and low food production, farmers were unable to escape poverty. In 1949, the county's total grain output was 53,300 tons (excluding soybeans, the same below), with a yield of 80.5 kilograms per mu. The average grain production per full and half labor force was 559 kilograms. There were 50,000 pigs in stock, with an average of 1 pig per household. The total agricultural output value 24.04 million yuan, accounting for 93.4% of the total industrial and agricultural output value, and the average output value of the agricultural population is 136.20 yuan. After liberation, through land reform and the mutual aid and cooperation movement, production relations were changed, productivity was liberated, and agricultural production developed steadily. In 1957, total grain output increased by 53.5% compared with 1949, with an average annual increase of 5.5%; the number of live pigs increased by 64.1%; and the total agricultural output value increased by 54.4%. In 1958, the "Great Leap Forward" and "People's Communes" were carried out, which led to the emergence of blind command, exaggeration and "communism", which dampened farmers' enthusiasm for production. Coupled with severe natural disasters, agricultural production suffered serious setbacks, and grain output fell year after year. decline. The total grain output in 1961 was lower than that in 1957; the total agricultural output value dropped by 13.6% compared with 1957; and the number of live pigs dropped by 87.4%. In this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China implemented the "Rural People's Commune Work Regulations (Draft)", adjusted production relations, and implemented the production team as the basic accounting unit, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the production team and members. In 1965, the total grain output and total agricultural output value increased by 43.6% and 45.4% respectively compared with 1961, and pig production also rapidly resumed development.

In the early days of the "Cultural Revolution", agricultural production was seriously affected again. After 1972, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China implemented the "Instructions on Distribution Issues in Rural People's Communes" and mobilized farmers' enthusiasm for production from all aspects. At the same time, they vigorously promoted improved varieties, increased the application of chemical fertilizers, and built water conservancy projects to gradually increase agricultural production. Especially after the large-scale promotion of hybrid rice in 1976, grain output increased significantly. In 1978, the total output and total agricultural output value increased by 1.35 times and 62.6% respectively compared with 1968; the number of live pigs increased by 1.48 times. However, during this period, there was a one-sided emphasis on "taking grain as the key link" and neglected diversified operations and comprehensive development. After the household contract responsibility system was gradually implemented in rural areas of the county in 1981, grain production and diversified operations of forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fishery developed rapidly. Many specialized households and economic complexes emerged, and the number of people engaged in the tertiary industry increased. , changed the single situation of grain production. In 1983, the county's total grain output hit a record high, the total agricultural output value exceeded 100 million yuan, and the number of live pigs increased by 34.7% compared with 1978. After the great increase in grain production in 1983, the mentality of paralysis and slackness emerged, agricultural investment was reduced, and measures to promote agriculture through science and technology were ineffective, resulting in grain production declining for three consecutive years after 1984. The total grain output in 1986 dropped by 17.5% compared with 1983. In 1987, production began to pick up. The total grain output was 170,100 tons, an increase of 2.19 times compared with 1949 and an increase of 20% compared with 1978. The average grain output per full and half labor force was 1,006 kilograms. The total agricultural output value was 119.18 million yuan, accounting for 53.10% of the total industrial and agricultural output value, an increase of 3.96 times compared with 1949 and an increase of 60.6% compared with 1978. The average output value of the agricultural population was 316.50 yuan. The number of pigs in stock is 226,500, with an average of 3.11 pigs per household. The number of pigs has increased by 3.49 times compared with 1949. The situation of rural poverty and backwardness has been improved.

In 2010, the number of agricultural product processing enterprises in the county has grown to 194, including 42 large-scale agricultural product processing enterprises. In 2010, the agricultural product processing industry achieved an output value of 1.072 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.5%. Efforts were intensified to cultivate and create brands, and 19 new registered trademarks for agricultural products were added, bringing the total number of registered trademarks for agricultural products in the county to 94. During the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty, there was manual iron smelting in the territory. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, workshops engaged in metallurgy, papermaking, bamboo and wood processing, food, printing, textile and other industries had sprung up. There are more and more categories and varieties, but the equipment is simple and the production is primitive. During the Republic of China, far-sighted people tried to "revitalize industry." In the 14th year of the Republic of China (1925), the "Fuyao Electric Lighting Company" founded by a group of shares was the beginning of modern industry in the county. However, it was difficult to maintain due to backward technology and was on the verge of bankruptcy several times. . Other industrial workshops are also at a standstill due to the political unrest. During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, the Chinese Soviet government implemented protection and support policies for industry, and handicraft production flourished. After the Red Army's Long March, the revolutionary base areas were devastated and industry declined. After liberation, the Communist Party of China and the People's Government attached great importance to the development of industry. In December 1949, the county opened a rice milling cooperative in Chengguan and repaired an electric lighting company. After that, several private enterprises such as printing, food, dyeing and weaving were gradually restored and supported. By the end of 1952, the county had 1,981 employees in industry and handicrafts, with an output value of 2.76 million yuan, an increase of 61.4% from 1.71 million yuan in 1949. Its proportion in the total industrial and agricultural output value also increased from 6.6% in 1949 to 7.4%. In 1953, the general line for the transitional period began to be implemented. The government adopted a redemption policy for private industry, while for handicraft industry, it implemented the policy of "active leadership and steady progress" and gradually implemented socialist transformation. Beginning in 1955, private industry was transformed into ownership by the whole people and public-private joint ventures. Handicraftsmen organized 21 production cooperatives (groups) on a voluntary basis. In that year, the total output value of industry and handicrafts reached 5.06 million yuan, an increase of 1.96 times compared with 1949. In 1956, the socialist transformation of industry and handicrafts was completed, and the total number of employees in industry and handicrafts reached 2,313 at the end of the year. In 1958, during the "Great Leap Forward", there was a rush to "build industry". 61 new county-owned enterprises were established, together with 76 existing enterprises, and the total number of employees soared to 6,930. Communes, brigades, and production teams also commonly set up factories. The handicraft production cooperatives (groups) in Chengguan area "transitioned ahead of schedule" into 15 local state-owned enterprises. Due to violation of objective economic laws, industrial production suffered setbacks.

In 1961, the policy of “adjustment, consolidation, enrichment, and improvement” began to be implemented. By 1965, the county had 13 private enterprises, 21 county-owned collective enterprises, and 20 community and team enterprises. The number of national and collective employees has also been reduced to 975 and 668 respectively. The total industrial output value was 7.44 million yuan, an increase of 29.8% over 1957, of which the total output value of collective enterprises dropped by 56.3%. The "Cultural Revolution" began in 1966, which also affected the industrial system and caused a decline in production. In 1968, the total output value was only 6.7 million yuan, down about 10% from 1965. Since 1971, the central government's instructions to rectify enterprise management have been implemented, and production has improved slightly. However, criticism of the "productivity theory" has emerged again, and economic accounting has been ignored. Although the output value has increased, the economic benefits have been extremely low. From 1966 to 1976, the state invested 33.56 million yuan in industrial infrastructure, but industrial enterprises only paid 12.57 million yuan in taxes and profits, recovering only 37.5% of the investment. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the economic system reform policy was implemented, and the profit-to-tax reform was gradually implemented. Industrial enterprises were transformed from production-oriented to production-operation-oriented, and the implementation centered on improving economic efficiency and unified responsibilities, rights, and interests. production and operation responsibility system. The government has expanded guiding plans for enterprises, narrowed the scope of mandatory plans, expanded enterprise autonomy, enhanced enterprise vitality, implemented a mechanism that combines planned economy with market regulation, and industrial production has achieved better development. From 1979 to 1987, the state invested 44.85 million yuan in industrial technological transformation, which is equivalent to the total investment in the past 30 years. The cumulative new output value in 9 years reached 72.15 million yuan, 1.61 times the investment amount, and realized tax profits of 64.83 million yuan. Exceeding 44.5% of the investment amount. Through technological transformation, industrial technology and equipment have been strengthened. According to the 1985 Industrial Census, the county's industry has 3,067 sets (sets) of 52 types of machinery and equipment, with a total power of 36,041 kilowatts and a total of 32.262 million yuan in original value. Among them, enterprises owned by the whole people accounted for 18.221 million yuan, accounting for 56.5%; county collectively owned enterprises and township industries accounted for 15.2% and 28.3% respectively. In 1987, there were 151 industrial enterprises at or above the township level in the county, covering 13 major categories and 76 sub-categories of industries, with a total output value of 84.14 million yuan (including 54.35 million yuan for heavy industry, accounting for 64.6%; 29.79 million yuan for light industry, accounting for 35.4%). , fixed assets (original value) 112.99 million yuan, and the number of employees at the end of the year was 9,390. In that year, the total industrial output value was 105.25 million yuan (including industries below the village level), an increase of 60.5 times compared with 1949, an increase of 2.06 times compared with 1978, and an average annual increase of 13.25%, exceeding the national average of 11.8%. The overall labor productivity of county-owned enterprises also increased from 6,230 yuan in 1978 to 10,250 yuan, an increase of 64.5%. The proportion of total industrial output value in total industrial and agricultural output value increased from 6.6% in 1949 to 46.9%. The per capita industrial output value was 258 yuan, an increase of 31.3 times from 8 yuan in 1949. The county has initially formed an industrial system composed of chemicals, textiles, forest products, machinery, and building materials. Moreover, the territory is rich in mineral deposits, hydraulic power, and forest resources, providing superior conditions for the development of industry. The county people's government has developed some projects based on local conditions, but due to insufficient funds and technology, low management level and low quality of all employees, the economic benefits have been low. In 1987, the two indicators of industrial proportion in the total industrial and agricultural output value and per capita industrial output value ranked 48th and 57th respectively among the 68 counties (cities) in the province, and ranked first among the 7 counties (cities) in Longyan area. For the 6th place.

In 2010, the county's total industrial output value was 15.11 billion yuan, an increase of 30.7% over the previous year, of which the total industrial output value above designated size was 14.25 billion yuan, an increase of 32.1%. The sales rate of industrial products above designated size was 95.1%, a decrease of 1.4 percentage points from the previous year. The added value of industries above designated size was 6.32 billion yuan, an increase of 19.3%. Among industrial enterprises above designated size, state-owned enterprises, foreign, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan-invested enterprises and joint-stock enterprises achieved a total output value of 470 million yuan, 1.87 billion yuan and 11.67 billion yuan respectively, an increase of 32.1%, 113.5% and 56.7% respectively. The three leading industries among the above-scale industries achieved a total output value of 12.06 billion yuan, an increase of 185.3%. Among them, the mining and metallurgical industry achieved a total output value of 11.58 billion yuan, an increase of 76.1%; the optoelectronics industry achieved a total output value of 480 million yuan, an increase of 146.3%; the core industry copper industry achieved a total output value of 5.81 billion yuan, an increase of 80.2%.
