Agricultural Structure

The district largely built an urban-oriented agriculture, featuring “one zone, two wings and multiple spots”. As a result, grain production was stable, cash crops were thriving and animal husbandry was under effective control.

One zone refers to the municipal modern agricultural zone in Pujiang Town. Two wings refer to the farming cultural park in Maqiao and the urban-oriented farming park in Huacao. Multiple spots refer to the fast-urbanizing towns of Zhuanqiao, Meilong and Wujing, which have built bases for facility agriculture.
