(231222) -- BEIJING, Dec. 22, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Lyu Xin picks blueberries at a greenhouse in Xinkou Township, Xiqing District of Tianjin, north China, May 3, 2023. Lyu Xin, a post-85s youth, runs a family farm with her husband Feng Aixi mainly focusing on blueberry planting and therefore got the nickname "blue sister". Their blueberry fields cover an area of over 50 mu (about 3.3 hectares). She also created an account on short video platform to promote the business. As China moved to advance rural revitalization, more and more young people have returned from cities to the countryside which now brims with possibilities. As the new-generation farmers or young entrepreneurs, they often brought back funds, modern farming concepts and e-commerce business models to help transform the farming landscape. (Xinhua/Li Ran)

Rungis International Market - Southern Paris

This photograph shows Blueberries (Myrtilles) at the fruits and vegetables of the Rungis International Market, in Rungis southern suburb of Paris on December 6, 2023. The Rungis International Market (Marche International de Rungis) is the principal market of Paris, mainly for food and horticultural products, located in the commune of Rungis, in the southern suburbs. It is the second largest wholesale food market in the world after Central de Abasto, located in Mexico city. From its origins in the 10th century to the mid-20th century, the central market of Paris was located in the centre of the city, in a 10-hectare area named Les Halles. That became too small to accommodate all of the business demand, and, in 1969, the market was transferred to the suburbs. Rungis was selected because of its easy access by rail and highway and its proximity to Orly International Airport. Photo by Eliot Blondet/ABACAPRESS.COM
