- The unique natural conditions in Cangzhou have laid the foundation for the development of dryland alkaline wheat agriculture.
- The cultivated area of saline-alkali land in Cangzhou is 4.1 million mu accounting for over 70 percent of the total saline-alkali land area in Hebei Province, indicating significant potential for comprehensive management and utilization.
- Among them, 1.547 million mu were planted with dryland alkaline wheat, exceeding the target of 1.5 million mu.
- The saline-alkali land, which used to yield nothing for nine out of ten years, has not only become fertile farmland but is also growing into a major granary in the Bohai Bay region.
