Zhoushan village in Wuzhong district of Suzhou city, east China's Jiangsu Province, is where more than 180 households are engaged in fruit pit carving. There are over 3,000 fruit pit carving practitioners and more than 500 fruit pit carving workshops in the village.
A complete industrial chain involving collecting fruit pits, carving them, and selling fruit pit handiworks has formed in the village. Last year, the village made the list of villages with characteristic industries worth 100 million yuan ($13.8 million) or more, which was released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
