Organizers in Anping County, north China's Hebei Province, have recently promoted the development of the rural economy and led farmers to increase their wealth by developing a flower growing base with greenhouses.

Now, the county has fully adopted a new, modern industrialization model based on the theme of "cooperative plus base plus farmer household".

The new model has helped the local farmers achieve a transformation from seasonal agricultural production to balanced agricultural production, as well as a transformation from low yields to high incomes.

Up to now, the area of greenhouses in Anping County has reached nearly 67 hectares, and has promoted a large number of farmers to get prosperous.
