It hopes to attract 100,000 citrus industry representatives, build 50 offline branches and increase trade volumes by up to 10 billion yuan.
The Chongqing citrus cultivating area is exemplar. Zhong County has about 23,330 hectares of citrus trees. In 2016, this garden produced 285,300 tons of citrus, worth 2,706 billion yuan.
