GUANGZHOU: Authorities in Guangdong are planning to reclaim land from the sea and hillsides to boost arable land banks by 2.5 million mu (165,000 hectares) over the next five years, a government official said on Monday.

Speaking at a press conference on efficient and intensive land use, Zhao Yufang, director of the provincial land and resources department, said the government will allocate 4 billion yuan ($584 million) to the project.

The idea is to reclaim land in coastal regions such as Zhanjiang, and from hillsides in the province," she said.
