During the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) that kicked off in Beijing on March 5, Meng Pinghong, Guizhou deputy to the NPC, praised the province's environment for breeding excellent goods.
"The plantation area of pollution-free agricultural products in Guizhou accounts for 47.78 percent in the province's total farmland, so Guizhou always ranks high nationally in terms of the agricultural products quality," she said.

By taking advantages of its climate and ecological environment, Guizhou has further improved its growing technics. Meng pointed out that the province wisely grows summer and fall vegetables in high-altitude areas and various quality vegetables in areas at a medium altitude.
High altitude also brings a cool climate in Guizhou, so the summer and fall vegetables produced in Guizhou boast strong resistance against pests and low pesticide, she added.
Head of the foreign affairs department at Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Meng said that Guizhou planned to increase its above-scale agricultural products processing industry to 500 billion yuan ($745.98 million) by the end of 2020.
