Alfalfa Planting Demonstration Base - China

An aerial drone photo taken on September 9, 2025 shows a farm machinery operator driving a machine to sow alfalfa at an alfalfa planting base in Cele County of Hotan Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Alfalfa planting has provided stable forage supply for the local animal husbandry. Meanwhile, a "cooperative plus enterprise" development mode made it possible to establish a complete industrial chain of alfalfa planting, processing and sales in Hotan, which not only helped to build an ecological barrier, but also boosted income of farmers.
