CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The cherry plantation of nearly 100 mu in Simin Village, Panlong Town, Yunyang County, Chongqing recently had a good harvest.

Simin Village once was a poverty-stricken village. In 2005, Chongqing Municipal CPPCC Poverty Alleviation Group decided to cooperate with the village to develop cherry industry.

At present, the village enjoys annual cherry output of over 100,000 tons, which helps over 200 villagers with average income increase of more than 5,000 yuan. (Translated by Tan Hongxia, Fathom Language Limited)
