Sea buckthorn berries feed economic growth

By Cheng Yuezhu and Sun Ruisheng in Taiyuan | China Daily | Updated: 2018-11-28 07:11

On the back of its effective afforestation program, Youyu county is focusing on developing an ecological economy, with sea buckthorn, a hardy, fast-growing shrub, playing a major role.

Known as a "national key county in sea buckthorn development", Youyu has over 230 square kilometers of natural and artificial sea buckthorn habitat, and its factories can process up to 10,000 metric tons of berries a year.

Youyu, which sits at high altitude in the northwest of Shanxi province, has climatic conditions, including sufficient sunlight and big daily temperature variations, that make it an especially suitable place for growing sea buckthorns.
