Farmers receive training in agricultural materials from Gansu authorities

The Gansu Provincial Agricultural and Pastoral Office carried out a series of activities introducing reliable agricultural material products to local farmers in April.

With farmers preparing spring ploughing in April, staff members from provincial offices for agricultural research, technology promotion, products quality inspection, and law enforcement have set up enquiry points in villages to help farmers identify fake chemical fertilizer.

The technical personnel also teach farmers and herdsmen rational and scientific ways of purchasing and using agricultural material products.
