The city aims to establish a modern agricultural brand system within three to five years, as announced at a local agricultural brand development conference held on Oct 25.

The plan includes the establishment of a municipal shared agricultural product brand, 10 county-level shared agricultural product brands, 200 renowned enterprises and 2,000 characteristic agricultural products.
