Guizhou county holds lectures to explain new policies

Bijie in Southwest China's Guizhou province has set up the New Era Workshops to help people understand government policies on poverty alleviation and rural development.

As part of the initiative, a lecture on "adjustment of agricultural structure" was organized by the city's Nayong county in its Qiangganyan village on Feb 10. More than 30 locals attended it.

"After removing the costs for seed, fertilizer and labor, corn farmers actually don't make money," Xie Lijie, an official in charge of poverty alleviation in Qiangganyan, said at the lecture as the main speaker.
