Greenhouse vegetables show quality is king amid upgrade

JINAN - With digging machines roaring and walls being built brick by brick, a new-generation greenhouse is under construction in Sanyuanzhu village, Shouguang, a major vegetable base in East China's Shandong province.

The construction site is just a stone's throw from the office of Wang Leyi, the 78-year-old secretary of the village committee of the Communist Party of China. "Whenever I have time, I will come down and check on the progress," he said.

Wang has a lot of expectations for the new vegetable greenhouse. "Shouguang should be a leader in modern agriculture. The new greenhouse will use more machinery and less labor," said Wang.
