Guideline aims to foster industry in rural areas

A guideline on the vitalization of industries in rural areas issued by the State Council on Friday aims to develop sound and mature industries in rural areas in five to 10 years.

Different rural regions should develop industries according to their own advantages, the guideline said, and farmers should benefit as much as possible from the added value yielded by the industries. The industries should also create as many jobs for rural people as possible.
