Develop and Promote Market for Organic Producers

We always support the development of the local market for organic producers, such as organic farmers market. Emergence of farmers market can offers small farmers opportunity to sell organic vegetables directly to the public, enhancing the connection between producers and consumers. Farmers market not only provides a new sale channel for organic suppliers, but also helps raise public awareness on the benefits of organic farming on environmental protection and safe food.
