Songyang county in Lishui, East China's Zhejiang province, has actively responded to the call of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, and has carried out poverty alleviation coordination and assistance work in Bazhong, Southwest China's Sichuan province, since 2018.

Based on the geographical advantages in Bazhong, Songyang focuses on the tea industry as a key poverty alleviation project. Each year, Songyang donates 66.67 hectares of tea seedlings to Bazhong to help poor families.

In the meantime, Songyang also encourages local tea enterprises and tea merchants to invest in Bazhong to help improve the whole industrial chain of Sichuan tea.

At present, with the assistance of Songyang, the per capita annual income of more than 6,000 registered poor people in Sichuan has increased by 7,000 yuan ($988).

The East Zhejiang Tea Market in Songyang is one of the biggest green tea markets in China, with a wide range of market and a complete range of tea varieties.
