Fishery and animal husbandry products of Dahua Yao autonomous county in Hechi came under spotlight at the second China (Guangxi) Aquatic Animal Husbandry Expo held in Nanning from June 22 to 24.

Local characteristic agricultural products with geographical indications like bullhead, Qibainong chickens and goats were popular among purchasers from the catering industry and grand hotels in Nanning, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. They all showed a willingness to establish a long-term supply and marketing partnership with Dahua's enterprises.

Raised or planted in particular areas, the quality and characteristics of these products depend on the natural environment and historical and cultural factors of their originating areas; the products' names are often geographic.
