By leveraging the formidable resources of its established vegetable industry, Guangling town in Taixing city, East China's Jiangsu province, has been attracting new projects to expand the fruit and vegetable sector and boost the incomes of locals.
In the Guangling's Muxing village, an integrated development cluster center for the primary, secondary and tertiary industries and a cold chain storage plant are flourishing after having attracted a raft of fresh projects.
They're involved in e-commerce training, refrigerated transportation and processing outsourcing, among other things.
The integrated development cluster center coordinates the full supply chain operations of vegetable planting and processing, refrigeration quality control and sales traceability.
It is supervised by the town and involves the participation of village residents and small and medium-sized farmers, promoting the shared benefits for locals.
In addition, the town's Xingning community has established an intelligent greenhouse and a leisure ecological farm.
The community has also invited experts from the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences to provide technical guidance to growers, thereby helping improve the quality and yield of organic fruit and vegetables.
Moving forwards, plans are for the town to improve its industrial standardization and refinement, bolster the marketing of its vegetable brands and focus on developing the deep processing of agricultural products to boost rural industrial vitalization.
