Huai'an showcases its agricultural products
With fresh crayfish from famed Xuyi County, high-quality pork, hairy crabs from Hongze Lake along with hundreds of other agricultural products, Huai'an agricultural promotion event opened in Shanghai on Friday.
Located in neighboring Jiangsu Province, Huai'an City is surrounded by an abundant water system, including Hongze Lake, which makes it rich in agricultural resources.
As of 2025, Huai'an plans to establish more than 20 major agricultural product supply bases for Shanghai, with an annual supply of more than 100,000 tons of high-quality rice, more than 50,000 tons of fruits and vegetables, more than 30,000 tons of livestock and poultry products, and more than 50,000 tons of high-quality aquatic products.
