Guiyang has long been committed to rural vitalization. In December 2021, the city fully launched contact and cooperation work for counterpart assistance to Luodian county.
To this end, it also issued the "Guiyang City Strengthening Luodian County Contact and Collaboration to Help Rural Vitalization Work Plan" and proposed the key tasks to deepen the "six major collaborative aspects" of industry, production and sales, labor services, education, medical care, and Party building.
Nine districts and development zones including Yunyan district, Huaxi district and the Guiyang High-tech Industrial Development Zone provided assistance to nine townships in Luodian county.
Guiyang has so far invested 46.01 million yuan ($6.72 million) into the project, implemented five industrial projects, provided 65,700 jobs, and sold 7,500-metric-ton agricultural and sideline products worth 56.8 million yuan from Luodian. Meanwhile, four projects have been completed and put into operation.
The Bianyang Standardized Laying Hen Breeding Base is one of the five industrial projects that Guiyang has assisted Luodian with, relying on the industry to drive locals' employment and income.
"In the past, I depended solely on selling fruit I planted to survive, and the economy was tight. Now I work at the Bianyang Standardized Laying Hen Breeding Base. The environment is good and the salary is decent. I am very satisfied with my current life," said a resident of Limu village in Luodian county.
