Tropical high¨Cyielding
agriculture of a new kind has risen
abruptly and keeps on developing and
extending from region to base and towards
being industrialized, which has given
an impetus to tropical tourist agriculture,
ecological agriculture and hi¨Ctech
agriculture. A significant base of China
has taken its root or is taking shape
in Hainan, where cultivations will be
centralized such as natural rubber,
seed breeding, vegetables and melons
growing in winter, tropical fruits,
tropical flowers and plants, and marine
aquiculture. The base has brought about
a great deal of famous farm produce
of high quality, and begun its transformation
from the superiority of farm produce
to that of farm cash crops and to their
processing industry. As a result, the
status as China's agricultural base
in Hainan has been reinforced. |
