The Xiuzhou Zhichuang Juluo Agricultural Innovation Park, located in Jiaxing, East China's Zhejiang province, recently won recognition.

It was included in the second batch of Zhejiang Provincial Modern Agricultural Innovation Parks, announced by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

Nestling in Youchegang town, in Xiuzhou district, this park aims to create an incubation platform for agricultural entrepreneurs, offering a wide range of conveniences across various fields of endeavor. 

These include streamlined project applications, administrative facilitation, talent nurturing, business support, consultancy services, avenues for exchanges and learning and robust networking opportunities.

Zhu Weifeng, the visionary behind the Xiaobailong Farm in the park, is happy with the progress. "The agricultural and rural departments have been instrumental in guiding us on cutting-edge technologies and recommending novel crop varieties – propelling us, as new farmers, towards rapid growth," he said.

In a bid to expand support for these entrepreneurs, the park has brought onboard the Lancheng Agricultural Technology Co Ltd. 

With a workforce of more than 70 holding master's degrees and doctorates, the company boasts a formidable array of state-of-the-art smart agricultural facilities, providing precise guidance for agricultural innovators.

In recent years, Jiaxing has diligently refined its rural innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem – encouraging more young people to join the push for rural revitalization with great success. 

Recent statistics revealed that, on average, each agricultural entrepreneur has spurred income growth for more than 33 local farmers.
