At Aofu Modern Apple Production Base at the county's Dawang town, an internationally advanced cultivation model equipped with facilities such as intelligent water and fertilizer integrated system is used to produce top-notch apple. This year's apple yield is expected to be around 1,500 metric tons, generating sales revenue of at least 10 million yuan ($1.4 million), according to the town government.
