In recent years, the government of Yangxin county, Binzhou city, Shandong province has vigorously implemented a poverty alleviation project tailored to local conditions that involves the cultivation of fruit and vegetables in greenhouses. Thirteen of the structures were built in order to boost the local produce industry and help people steadily increase their incomes after they escape from poverty.
