云南省玉溪专区共有十一个县,202万亩土地,120余万人口。过去,在经济上不仅是农业落后,而且地方工业和手工业也极为落后。在1950年全区只有一个年产200多吨煤的小煤矿和一个供照明用19瓩的小电厂,许多东西都靠外地进货,除了一般工业品以外,甚至连最简单的手工业品如鸡毛撢子、竹筷子、扁担等也要从外地进货;加工能力也很小,有大量的皮子不能制成皮革,有木材不能制成用具。再加该区交通不便,城乡物资不能正常交流,经济基础是很薄弱的。经过几年的努力,尤其是最近两年的迅速发展,目前该区已经形成了一个中小型相结合的小型工厂组 Yuxi Prefecture, Yunnan Province, a total of 11 counties, 202 acres of land, more than 120 million population. In the past, it was not only economically backward but also far behind in terms of industry and handicrafts. In 1950 there was only one small coal mine in the region with an annual output of over 200 tons of coal and a small power plant for lighting of 19 tons. Many things were purchased in the field. Apart from the general industrial products, even the simplest handicrafts such as chicken feces Children, bamboo chopsticks, pole also have to purchase from the field; processing capacity is also small, a large number of leather can not be made of leather, wood can not be made of utensils. Coupled with the traffic inconvenience in the area, urban and rural areas can not be normal exchange of goods, the economic base is very weak. After several years of hard work, especially in the rapid development of the past two years, the district has now formed a small and medium sized factory cluster
