Camellia plantation helps 100,000 farmers increase income
Local farmers have also been taught how to raise chickens under trees as this allows for natural weeding and fertilization of the soil.
In addition, a modern oil-tea processing factory funded by Jiangbei district has been set up in the county. The 7-million-yuan factory has a processing capacity of 2,500 metric tons of oil-tea seeds per year.
The stable income stream created by these support efforts has significantly spurred the enthusiasm of farmers to plant oil-tea trees. In 2019, the plantation area of oil-tea trees in Ceheng grew by 80,000 mu.
Meanwhile, a series of beauty care and artistic products made from oil-tea trees have also been developed in the county.
