Planting oil-seed camellia is green, environmentally friendly and ecologically sound, and also a good way to boost economic development and increase farmers' income, Xi said.

By May 2020, the total area of oil-seed camellia in Xinyang reached 63,306 hectares. The oil-seed camellia output in 2019 was 8,173 tons, with an annual output value of 1.1 billion yuan ($155.4 million).
