Additionally, 308 safe agricultural food supply chains have been established, with a total area of over 4,500 hectares and an annual market supply of more than 50,000 tonnes. Around 100,000 tonnes of fruit are delivered to processing factories and facilities within the province, while the remainder serve the domestic market.
