Along with the construction of high-standard farmland across cultivated areas and a notable increase in contiguous farmland, the district has replaced and upgraded agricultural machinery. According to the district's agriculture and rural bureau, a substantial investment of nine million yuan ($1.26 million) has been allocated for this purpose.

The district will procure various agricultural machinery, including tractors, harvesters and seeders, to respond to the specific needs of agricultural production in each town and village.

According to the region's latest government work report, the region's crop output reached 1.08 million metric tons in 2023 and is expected to remain above 1 million metric tons in 2024. The region plans to build over 13,000 hectares of high-standard farmland in 2024.
