To win the battle against poverty, Zhaotong is undoubtedly the main battlefield and the hardest nut to crack.

To get rid of poverty nationwide, look to Yunnan, and to get rid of poverty in Yunnan, look to Zhaotong. Zhaotong, located in the hinterland of the Wumeng Mountains, is a deeply impoverished area integrating old revolutionary areas, earthquake-stricken areas, areas with scattered ethnic groups, and ecologically fragile areas. Ten of the 11 counties (cities, districts) here are national-level poverty-stricken counties, of which 7 are deeply impoverished counties.

As the prefecture-level city with the largest number of poor people, the deepest degree of poverty, and the largest poverty level in Yunnan and even the country, Zhaotong has started the battle against poverty with the courage and vigor to gnaw on the "hard bones" and written a new chapter in development and prosperity. Chapter.

To deal with the "hard nut", we must make adjustments based on local conditions. Zhaotong is rich in biological resources and has given birth to a rich variety of specialty agricultural products, laying a solid foundation for industrial poverty alleviation. Currently, the apple planting area in Zhaotong reaches 600,000 acres, and a 40,000-acre modern orchard demonstration base for low-stock dense planting has been built, with the largest single area in the country and leading domestic technology.

Use 50,000 acres of high-quality seed potato expansion demonstration base to drive the city's 2.5 million acres of commercial potatoes and 600,000 acres of seed potatoes, striving to build a "Potato Empire"; the city's pepper area is 1.3 million acres, and the production area 880,000 acres, with an output of 33,000 tons, "Zhaotong peppercorns and fragrant sesame seeds all over the world" have become a bright business card... closely following the province's strategic deployment of building a world-class "three cards", industrial poverty alleviation has injected strong development momentum into Zhaotong.
