In the golden October, at the dwarf apple plantation base in Gonggar County, Shannan City, Xizang, villagers are busy picking red apples amidst a scene of bountiful harvest. Previously, apple cultivation in Gonggar was constrained by the high-altitude climate. However, the introduction of dwarf apple cultivation techniques has led to the successful breeding of multiple apple varieties well-suited to local conditions. Since the project's implementation, the total income growth has exceeded 160 million yuan through apple sales and providing employment opportunities for villagers.
