【ASEAN Line】ASEAN Youth: A Jasmine Blossoms into a Big Industry China's poverty reduction experience is worth learning
Nanning, May 5 (ZXS) -- "There are many innovative practices in China's rural development, such as live streaming to help farmers bring goods, agricultural and sideline product processing, etc., and the small jasmine in Hengzhou City can develop a variety of products and derive multiple industries, which is really novel. Chen Qiyun, a young man from Singapore, said in an interview with reporters on the 17th.
From May 5th to May 15th, the 5th China-ASEAN Youth Camp visited Nanning, Guangxi for inspection and exchange. After visiting Hengzhou City, Nanning Province, and listening to the story of Hengzhou jasmine blooming into a big industry and helping people get rid of poverty and increase income, young representatives of ASEAN countries said that China's experience in promoting poverty alleviation and rural revitalization is worth learning from ASEAN countries.
In Hengzhou, Chen Qiyun personally experienced live streaming goods. "Live streaming brings goods closer to sellers, allowing consumers to get a 'close' understanding of products, helping to broaden sales channels for agricultural products and increase sales." Chen Qiyun said.
Hengzhou is the "Jasmine Capital of the World" and the world's largest jasmine industry base, accounting for about 80% of China's jasmine production and 60% of the world's total. Hengzhou jasmine tea became one of the first products protected by the EU-China Geographical Indications Agreement.
"Jasmine is also grown in Thailand, but the difference is that Hengzhou jasmine has a stronger aroma and larger buds. Hengzhou City has launched a jasmine specialty brand, which enhances the value of jasmine, while giving jasmine a higher added value through processing, and they also cook jasmine into various dishes, which are good practices. Thai youth Kang said frequently.
Kang Pinpin believes that a very important reason for the good development of China's rural areas is that the collective economy has developed well, and collectivized and large-scale production and operation methods make it easier to create products with local characteristics, and Hengzhou jasmine industry is a vivid example.
Lao youth Su Tingting said that Laos has thousand-year-old tree tea, and in terms of improving the added value of products, Laos can learn from the development experience of Hengzhou jasmine industry. She believes that the Chinese government has invested a lot in rural infrastructure, which provides a good guarantee for rural development and farmers' income. On the other hand, China's live streaming is maturing, which helps farmers better sell agricultural products and increase farmers' income. (End)
