STORYLINE:

Farmers in Jingtai County of northwest China's Gansu Province have been busy working in their fishponds as saltwater seafood production gets prosperous in this inland area over the recent years.

Six towns in Jingtai County began to develop aquaculture in 2016 as an alternative to traditional farming as the salinization had made soil not arable anymore.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): ZHOU JINCHENG, General manager of Jingtai Jincheng Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., LTD.
"The composition of seawater is different from that of the soil here. It has a different amount of trace elements. Local saline-alkali water is different from seawater, so we have to desalinize the water to make it more favorable for seafood production. We also make technological efforts to ensure the water quality and breeding formula."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): SUN PENG, Technician of Jingtai Jincheng Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., LTD.
"I have been working here since 2019. I have mastered the techniques including desalination of saline-alkali water, shrimp farming and pond farming. My monthly income has been increased from the previous 3,000 yuan (about 414 U.S. dollars) to 6,000-8,000 yuan (about 820-1,100 U.S. dollars) now."

The aquaculture area in Jingtai County has reached nearly 1,000 hectares, and its output value of aquatic products achieved more than 54 million yuan (7.4 million U.S. dollars) in 2023.
