    to nearly 600 hectares of rice-shrimp feeding area in Zhizhi Township, Taiping County, at the headquarters of the People's Committee of Taiping County, Jin'ou Province.

    in eligible areas.
    The functional departments of Jinou Province strive to build more than 40,000 hectares (100%) of rice and shrimp culture area by 2030 and obtain one of
    the international organic certifications such as ASC.
