The agricultural output of southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region surged to a record high in 2022, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The region’s grain output hit 1.07 million tonnes in 2022, vegetable output climbed to 930,000 tonnes, and the output of meat, eggs and milk reached 880,000 tonnes, said the report released at the first session of the 12th People’s Congress of Tibet Autonomous Region.
Meanwhile, the region’s output of green and organic foods and farm products as well as those with indigenous marks increased by 30 per cent year on year in 2022, as the region has attached importance to the security and quality of its farm products.
Tibet allocated subsidies for the protection of cultivated land around 172 million yuan (about $25.6 million) in 2022.
By the end of 2022, Tibet’s planting area of improved varieties of highland barley, a long-established Tibetan grain, had grown to about 135,000 hectares, and that of high-yield farmland totalled 260,000 hectares.
