According to Jiang Zengwei, vice minister of commerce, 400 million yuan was earmarked from the central government budget to support 200 "direct farm projects" in 2009.
The funds have also helped improve logistics infrastructure and quality testing equipment.
International retail giants like Carrefour and Metro Group have made direct purchases from such bases, too.
Friedman said at Walmart's purchase bases, the company reaches out to individual rural households and farmers' organizations, providing on-site training in food safety management, cultivation and technology among other practical skills.Source:Xinhua
