Speaking about marketing farm produce from the Xiangjiadang agriculture digitalization plant, Geng Weibin says he doesn't worry about sales at all.

"Since the plant is near Shanghai, we are sure the demand is exceeding the supply at the moment, especially during the Mid-Autumn festival," he says.

Moreover, farming culture and tourism experiences will be provided soon at the digital plant.

"People would be able to pick up vegetables and children can get in touch with the farming work here," Geng says.
