Thanks to Chinese local governments enhanced efforts to promote pro-consumption campaigns to aid poverty alleviation, more and more farm produces from impoverished regions are getting on the dining tables of the Chinese, paving a road for many households to leave poverty.
These pro-consumption campaigns have effectively opened up the market of agricultural products, offsetting the negative impacts from COVID-19.
