Guyuan's agricultural development plan aims to have two industries with output values exceeding 10 billion yuan ($1.41 billion) — beef cattle and potatoes — and two additional industries valued at over 5 billion yuan — cool-season vegetables and traditional Chinese medicinal materials — by 2027.
Hua said the city has taken a holistic approach to conservation, targeting mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands and sandy areas. These efforts have transformed Guyuan into a model of coexistence between humankind and nature.
