CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Workers at Youyang County’s first pepper industrial park were busy processing and baking peppers on August 6.

In recent years, the county has adopted a successful “company + base + farmers” approach, encouraging villagers to expand their pepper cultivation by providing standardized seedlings, planting guidance, and guaranteed purchasing. The county has also developed over ten value-added pepper products, including dried peppers, pepper powder, sauces, pickled peppers, fermented pepper condiments, and hot pot base ingredients, significantly boosting the economic returns for local farmers.
