  • This is Round Table. Hainan, China's absolutely stunning southern island getaway,

  • has gotten plenty of attention for its beautiful beaches and climate,

  • but now the island is getting attention for a more delicious reason, we can say.

  • The planting of exotic fruits could help with rural revitalization.

  • We'll look at the challenges and opportunities that come with such an undertaking and find out what other regions can learn from Hainan as well.

  • Coming to you live from Beijing, this is Round Table.

  • I'm Steve and for today's show, I'm joined by Nio Honglin and Laiming.

  • Recent reports highlight Hainan's cultivation of exotic fruits as an innovative rural revitalization strategy,

  • capitalizing on the province's favorable climate to create new agricultural opportunities and boost local economies.

  • While this approach demonstrates significant potential through increased farmer incomes and market expansion,

  • it also faces challenges of course,

  • but those challenges offer valuable lessons for other regions to develop tailored solutions,

  • based on their own geographical advantages and market conditions.

  • Good afternoon, Laiming and Nio Honglin.

  • Today we talk exotic fruits and I for one, am a fan.

  • Yeah, super delicious.

  • I love going to the market and going, ooh, what's that?

  • Ooh, what's that?

  • Let's get one and try it out.

  • I was off air on another day in Nio Honglin.
