At the 3rd Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, it is decided that the country should consolidate the position of family operation in agriculture. As early as in the end of the 1990s, there appeared a number of large family planters of grain, vegetable, fruit, and animal farms. Driven the market and guided by the government departments, those family farms got registered so as to sell their products in the market. So far, the district has 46 family farms engaged in production of grain, vegetable, fruit, and husbandry.
In recent years, the district is promoting land transfer and encouraging appropriate land operation and this has resulted in a number of family farms with family members as the major labour force and strong consciousness in market, science, and innovation. This has become a new drive for the agricultural transformation and upgrading.
