"Winter and spring are the off-seasons for local vegetable production, and the number of vegetables on the market would decrease in the two seasons in the past. Now, under the good policy guidance of the Party and the state, our life is getting better and better." Tsomo says happily.

Under the guidance of the government's policies benefiting people, relevant departments of Lhasa City have improved the market allocation and regulation mechanism. Therefore, vegetable prices are only small fluctuation because of low local vegetable production in the off-season, and vegetable supply for citizens is still sufficient in winter and spring.
