Guizhou, once China's province with the most impoverished population, has witnessed a remarkable transformation by leveraging its unique agricultural industries. Notably, Tongren City has capitalized on its local resources to emerge as a leader in matcha production, setting a new global standard.
Meanwhile, Zunyi City has carved a niche in the chili pepper sector, with the establishment of 'China Chili City' in Xiazi Township. This marketplace facilitates the sale and export of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of chilies annually, spurring income growth for half a million rural households.
In Zhenning Bouyei-Miao Autonomous County, the cultivation of honey plums on karst terrain has driven economic growth, transforming barren landscapes into productive assets. With its geographical excellence and rich culture, Guizhou is setting an example for rural prosperity through innovative agricultural development.
