Birth of a suggestion from an NPC deputy for rural development

Collected feedback

As an NPC deputy, Wu pays great attention to the investigation and research at the grassroots level.

She communicated with fruit farmers and agricultural technicians, summarizing the feedback collected at the grassroots level and forming her suggestions for the NPC.

She also managed to gain support at the national level by proposing those suggestions.

"I got great attention from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs," said Wu. "They invested 2.3 billion yuan (about 360 million U.S. dollars) in training to improve the farmers' professional skills. I'm very happy to see this."

The suggestion proposed by this NPC deputy brought tangible project funding and strong support plans.

Relying on Wu's own company, she has led her team to build over 36000 acres of standardized citrus orchards and trained more than 60,000 fruit farmers for free.

As a result, the coverage of the citrus industry has driven 130,000 fruit farmers to become rich.

"I hope that the citrus industry will grow stronger in the future," said Huang Wanlie, another fruit farmer in Zhongxian country. "I also hope our income will be higher."

Agriculture standardization system

This year, Wu suggests that further support should be applied through establishing the agriculture standardization system in the whole industrial chain to improve the quality of the grading system and promote the standard to be in line with international standards.

"Meanwhile, we need to increase our financial support for the construction and promotion of the standard system," said Wu. "We really hope the farmers understand the benefit brought by the standard, and they will get a continuous increase in their income and a better life."
