He said that Weifang's agricultural development level has always been at the forefront of the province and even the country, and it is well-known nationwide for its vegetable basket, orchard, and butcher shop. Over the years, Weifang has always regarded agriculture as a key area for deepening opening up, relying on the only comprehensive experimental zone for agricultural opening and development in China, continuously expanding international cooperation and exchanges in the field of agriculture, and achieving fruitful results.
