Poor rice sales drag paddy prices lower
Recently, prices in some indica rice-producing areas in southern China have been steady to lower under the influence of many factors.

The premise of targeted poverty alleviation is the accurate identification of impoverished people.
What I saw during two visits to the grassroots in recent years is unforgettable: one was a mountain village in a county with a strong economy, where the houses of about a hundred households were dilapidated, the most presentable street in the village was a narrow road of broken stones, and the annual per capita income of most households was no more than 1,500 yuan; the other was

Analysis of China's Agricultural Policy: Agricultural Modernization amid Rural Hollowing Out and Poverty

The ratio of utilized land to usable land is called agricultural land utilization rate, which reflects a country's land use situation and reserve potential.
