Recently, Lixian County in Gansu Province has implemented various measures to promote the quality and upgrade of its apple industry. By constructing standardized orchards, nurturing leading processing enterprises, and developing e-commerce and live-streaming sales, the county aims to establish a complete industrial chain that encompasses apple cultivation, acquisition, storage, processing, sales, and e-commerce. It is projected that the total output value of this industrial chain could reach 5 billion yuan this year, injecting strong momentum into rural revitalization through its distinctive apple-related industries.
