Villagers turn to smartphones, blogs to promote harvest

Villagers in a section of Tianjin are turning to the modern grapevine to get word out on their produce.

Zhu Zhenhong, grape farmer of Shuangjie, got her first smartphone from the local government to promote her grape products on micro blogs and WeChat on Saturday.

"I've sold our grape products by phone in the past, but now I can communicate with our customers and show the photos on the web, with my micro blogs," Zhu said. "That could bring higher sales revenue this year."
