Tea is the way for them to achieve prosperity and they should "do well in the industry", Xi said.
By April 2020, Pingli county's tea area covered 80 hectares, with an annual output volume of over 400 million yuan ($56 million). It has increased per-capita income by more than 1,100 yuan ($155) annually for more than 300 poor people.
Because of tea plantations, 79 poor villages in the county all rose from poverty by the end of 2019.
