(220616) -- WUCHUAN, June 16, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A staff member processes Sichuan pepper at the production line of a local company in Zhennan Town of Wuchuan Gelao and Miao Autonomous County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, June 15, 2022. Covering a wide area of karst topography and suffering from serious rocky desertification, Wuchuan County once had low agricultural yields. Local authorities have been committed to planting Sichuan pepper, a cash crop highly adaptable to areas of rocky desertification, as a way to boost local economy and drive rural revitalization. The total area of Sichuan pepper plantation now stands at 225,000 mu (about 15,000 hectares) in the county. (Photo by Zhao Yongzhang/Xinhua)

        Pharmaceutical company in Rong'an County

        A technician tests artemisinin at a pharmaceutical company in Rong'an County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on August 27, 2024. Located in a remote, mountainous area experiencing severe rocky desertification, Rong'an County covers largely barren land that makes traditional farming difficult. However, its harsh conditions are ideal for growing sweet wormwood, which thrives in arid environments and can withstand drought. Once dried, the plant is processed to extract artemisinin, which is then made into medicine and shipped to Africa to help local communities fight malaria. Rong'an is a major production base of artemisinin at home and abroad. The annual production of artemisinin exceeds 100 tonnes, accounting for a quarter of the global total. In recent years, companies, planting bases, scientific research institutes, cooperatives and local farmers in Rong'an have been coordinated to develop sweet wormwood planting to advance rural revitalization.

Recently, the domestically grown durians in Sanya City, south China's Hainan Province, have entered the market season. As the world's largest importer and consumer of durians, China has long relied on imports to meet its demand for durians. In recent years, with breakthroughs in cultivation technology, Sanya City, as the main production area of domestic durians, has been continuously developing the durian industry. By expanding the durian planting scale, promoting durian planting techniques, opening stores for selling domestic durians, and establishing durian brands, Sanya has walked on a path to promote rural revitalization.
