Guizhou region sets example for rural vitalization success

Valuable flatland in hilly province serves as hotbed for agricultural production

Six years after China proposed its rural vitalization strategy, Guizhou province has emerged as a noteworthy example of success by boosting agricultural production and new media promotion, paving the way for a brighter future.

The challenging terrain of Guizhou, in southwestern China, poses a severe challenge to agricultural production, with data from the provincial forestry bureau showing that 92.5 percent of its land is mountains and hills, making flatland extremely valuable.

Covering an area of 700 hectares, the Chejiang flatland in Rongjiang county has attracted 26 market entities to engage in agricultural production. Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, luffas, eggplants and other vegetables are grown on a large scale and sold to vendors in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
