At present, more than 2.7 million acres of plum trees in Guizhou have entered the peak flowering period, which is also a critical period for management and maintenance. Villagers are busy spraying plant growth regulators to lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest. This year, Guizhou has formed a special team for special industries such as high-quality fruits and edible fungi to enter the fields, focusing on five aspects: variety renewal and excellent cultivation, quality improvement, brand building, and standardized construction, to promote the development of the entire chain of characteristic industries.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at this year's National People's Congress that we must continue to work hard in promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas and the integrated development of urban and rural areas, consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation. Today, Guizhou is making full use of the advantages of mountain climate and accelerating the development of regional characteristic high-quality fruits according to local conditions, forming a number of local brands such as Zhenning honeysugar plum, Xiuwen kiwi fruit, Majiang blueberries, and Congjiang passion fruit.
