The increase in income for farmers benefits from the agricultural product procurement platform built by the local state-owned asset management department. Two years ago, the agricultural product cooperative in Xixiang Village was selected for the centralized procurement platform. The scattered land was scientifically and uniformly planned, and the agricultural machinery department was invited to provide regular guidance and strict quality control. Fresh green vegetables such as cabbage, organic cauliflower, winter melon, and eggplant from the current season were stably supplied to the warehouse center of the centralized procurement platform every day. After quality inspection, simple processing, cleaning, subcontracting, and other processes, they were then delivered to more than 200 restaurants, supermarkets, and canteens throughout the region through cold chain delivery.
Huang Tianliu, the person in charge of the Haimen District Agricultural Product Procurement Platform: As of now, we have cooperated with 6 local rural cooperatives for production or planting bases, and have helped sell more than 4500 tons of local agricultural and sideline products. Next, we will continue to adhere to market-oriented operations, simultaneously expanding the path of prosperity for the people online and offline, and assisting in rural revitalization.
