Zhendong nurtures farmers in Shanxi

Pharmaceuticals firm links its poverty alleviation efforts to TCM herb project

Shanxi-based pharmaceutical preparation company Zhendong Group is furthering its poverty alleviation efforts by setting up a plantation base for traditional Chinese medicine plants in Pingshun County, Shanxi province.

The gas-station-turned-medical group has not only invested in the region but also signed several deals that ensure a minimum selling price for the farmers cultivating medicinal plants.
