Covering a wide area of karst topography and suffering from serious rocky desertification, Wuchuan county once had low agricultural yields. Local authorities have been committed to planting Sichuan pepper, a cash crop highly adaptable to areas of rocky desertification, as a way to boost local economy and drive rural revitalization. The total area of Sichuan pepper plantation now stands at 225,000 mu (about 15,000 hectares) in the county. [Photo/Xinhua]
