On March 10, workers packed fruit at the Gudingxiang agricultural wholesale market in Jingxi City.

Recently, in the newly built agricultural products wholesale market in Jingxi City, Baise, Guangxi, reporters met Liang Wenguo, a fruit wholesale boss. His shop of more than 20 square meters was piled with whole boxes of citrus, sugar mandarins and other fruits, and customers came in from time to time to buy.

"Citrus fruits mostly hit the market in September. Based on Jingxi's climate conditions, we guided fruit farmers to adjust varieties. Jingxi's citrus goes on sale in February, right in time for the Spring Festival sales peak, so farmers have a good harvest and higher incomes," said Li Yongwei, director of the Jingxi City Fruit Office.
