Largest Poverty-Relief Relocation Program Starts in NE China

About 12,600 farmers in 3,500 families in northeast China's Liaoning Province will be moved out of poor areas for resettlement in better regions this year, officials said Saturday.

This is the largest poverty-relief relocation program the province has ever launched. Most of the farmers to be resettled are from the arid and semi-arid areas in western Liaoning and the remote mountainous areas in the east of the province.

The farmers will be relocated on a voluntary basis and each of the farmer household willing to move will get 11,000 yuan (about US$1, 300) of assistance, the officials said.

The migrants will be resettled in the relatively developed regions with an abundance of farmland. Some of them may get a job in the industrial or service businesses.

According to the provincial poverty-relief and development office, more than 13,800 farmers in 3,846 families have be relocated since 1998.

Next year, 3,500 more farmer households will be relocated under the poverty-relief program, the officials added.
