Elion unveils more development plans

Beijing-based company has spent two decades battling desertification in the Kubuqi Desert

China Elion Resources Group - a leading Chinese expert in the development of desert economies, green living, clean energy and cultural tourism - said it wants to green 10,000 square kilometers of desert in the north and west part of the country by the next five years, a development from which farmers and herdsmen will benefit.

Elion has spent the past 27 years battling desertification in China's Kubuqi Desert, turning over 6,000 square kilometers of the desert into productive land for the cultivation of medicinal plants.
