They include fresh product supermarkets, farmers' markets, big fresh markets and community greengrocers – all of them within 15 minutes walk.

To ensure the supply of their agricultural products, Guiyang and Guian have boosted the build-out of vegetable plantations and expanded the sales channels for main agricultural product wholesale trading markets.

Moreover, during the past three years, Guiyang and Guian have provided financial support of 31.43 million yuan to 72 projects.

Guiyang and Guian have also taken the opportunity to cooperate with East China and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area – to promote the certification of agricultural products and regulate the production technologies for the planting and breeding industries.

Furthermore, Guiyang and Guian have deepened their branding development strategy, expanded the market competitiveness of their agricultural products and improved the brand popularity, reputation and the influence of agricultural products.
