Heilongjiang has recently issued guidance to support the development of organic vegetable production bases.

The province will greatly promote organic vegetable production and improve facilities for cold chain logistics.

By 2020, the total vegetable plantation area in the province will reach 1 million hectares, double that of 2016, according to the guidance.

Meanwhile, the sales volume of vegetables will reach 5 million tons and average annual revenues will hit more than 50,000 yuan ($7,281) for every family planting vegetables.

Also, Heilongjiang will encourage colleges and scientific research institutions to cooperate and breed new high-quality varieties.

The local government will also enhance policy and financial support for vegetable plantation bases.
