In the Pinghedong Rice Seed Production Base of Yangmeishan Town, the rice ears are adorned with golden and plump grains. A man drives a harvester to reap rice in the field. Then, the harvested seed rice will be loaded, transported and dried. 

 

 

Pinghedong has a history of over 40 years in rice seed production. In recent years, the local government has established a stable rice seed production base through the joint cooperation of cooperative, base and farmers. 

 

The cooperative signs contracts with farmers, providing them with rice seeds, technology and fertilizers, which has driven local villagers to continuously increase their income. 

 

 

At present, Pinghedong in Yangmeishan Town has developed a rice seed production area of over 2,800 mu (about 186.67 hectares), providing more than 500,000 kg of high-quality seeds for the market every year.

 

 

Next, the town government will increase investment in infrastructure to improve agricultural production efficiency, making the rice seed industry stronger, agriculture more prosperous, villagers’ lives more wealthy and the rural environment more beautiful.
