Guangdong-Guangxi cooperation delivers Bama goods to Beijing

An industrial exhibition focusing on specialty agricultural products from rural areas was held at the National Agricultural Exhibition Center in Beijing on June 27, alongside a Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei consumption assistance promotion activity under the Guangdong-Guangxi paired cooperation program.

Five local enterprises from Bama Yao autonomous county, Hechi, took part in the event. They showcased distinctive local products such as fragrant pork, hemp food, camellia oil and natural mineral water as they explored opportunities in the northern market.

Many purchasers and visitors stopped by the Bama booth to sample selenium-enriched rice and traditional cured pork and discuss cooperation.

Representatives of Longlife, a local mineral water producer founded in 2010, introduced its mineral water, characterized by weak alkalinity and high strontium content. The water was well received by merchants, generating 35 million yuan ($4.83 million) in signed orders on-site.

Renowned as China's "Hometown of Longevity", Bama is known for its exceptional ecological environment. Benefiting from Guangdong-Guangxi paired cooperation, the county is building regional public brands and has moved up the value chain by shifting its focus from raw farm materials to branded finished products.

Since 2021, Bama's agricultural products have achieved sales exceeding 870 million yuan in eastern regions, increasing local villagers’ incomes while supplying quality farm food to urban consumers.

Bama will continue tapping into the Guangdong-Guangxi cooperation mechanism to promote its competitive agricultural industries nationwide and fuel its comprehensive rural vitalization.
