Kaihua, a State-level ecological county in Quzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, has been striving to help low-income farmers increase their incomes in recent years, according to local media reports on June 17.

In April, Zhongcun village in Kaihua established a sales group system for agricultural products made by low-income farmers, which includes Party cadres and charity-minded volunteers from all walks of life. The system helps low-income farmers sell their products through Douyin, known as TikTok outside China, and Chinese social media app WeChat.

Currently, the sales volume has passed 30,000 yuan ($4,240).

Additionally, a good combination of "online + offline" sales methods developed in Kaihua has proved effective. Since the launch of the project, Kaihua has focused on poverty alleviation by adhering to the guiding principle of industrial revitalization.

The town has arranged more than 50 people to be engaged in picking tea, cleaning fish ponds and water management in the agricultural sector, more than 70 people to participate in breeding bees, planting small sweet potatoes and red sorghum and 15 people to do village-level public welfare jobs. All of these projects ensure villagers can earn annual per capita income of more than 5,000 yuan.
