Crisp red plums fuel rural revitalization in Guizhou
In Dejiang County, a rural area in southwest China's Guizhou Province, the landscape is ablaze with color each harvest season. Hills and valleys are covered in crisp red plum trees, their branches heavy with plump, purple-red fruit. This year's harvest is once again a big success, and the plums are selling fast.
The popularity of these plums does more than just get fresh fruit to markets outside the mountains. It brings real, meaningful benefits to local life. Every step of the plum production process – from tending to the orchards, picking the ripe fruit, to sorting and packing them – creates jobs for residents. Many people who used to look for work far from home now earn a steady income right in their hometown.
This story is a prime example of how developing local specialty crops (like Dejiang's crisp red plums) is driving rural revitalization in China. It's not just about growing fruit; it's about building a stronger, more prosperous future for rural communities—one sweet harvest at a time.
