Known for apple farming and processing, Linyi county in Yuncheng, North China's Shanxi province, has found a path to prosperity, with 700,000 mu (46,666 hectares) planted areas yielding over 3.6 billion jin (1.8 billion kg) apples on a yearly basis.
With the automotive sorting machine and operation platform adopted in recent years, efficiency in apple processing has further increased.
"In the future, we not only plan to expand sales channels via e-commerce, but optimize export platform to promote 'Yuncheng apples' across China and the world," said Wang Wanbao, Party secretary of Zhuoyi village in Linyi county, Shanxi province.
