Land once deserted brings prosperity with golden passion fruit

"If these people work as migrants in cities, they usually earn about 1,000 yuan per month since most of them are under-educated, but if they work here, their salary will be over 4,000 yuan on average, and they can learn skills such as applying fertilizer, fruit picking and packaging, which are useful for them," said HuangYejun.

What were once deserted fields are now full of delicious and nutritious passion fruit, and the farmers are beginning to thrive as they leave poverty behind.
