The modern vegetable industrial park, built with assistance from east China's Shandong Province, covers a combined area of 4,711 mu (about 314 hectares) with a planned total investment of 1.06 billion yuan (about 162.6 million U.S. dollars). The first-phase project, which comprises 70,000-square meter smart greenhouses, a 4,000-square meter breeding center and 200 daylight greenhouses, is already in operation. When fully completed, the park is expected to annually yield 1.5 million tons of fresh vegetables, 1 million tons of which will be processed inside the park, along with 3,000 stable job opportunities.
