Bordering Vietnam, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is known for its close connections with Southeast Asian countries. The venue for the China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning has become one of the regional capital's landmarks. Guangxi is also rich in historical sites related to the Communist Party of China's development, including the Baise Uprising Memorial Hall in Baise and the Red Army Xiangjiang River Campaign Memorial Park in Guilin. [Photo provided to China Daily]

The areas were spread across more than 490 villages in the city and worked by more than 123,000 poverty-stricken residents.

Baise mangoes are seen at major fruit markets every summer, bringing the residents extra income.

"I believe the mango industry will help us totally eradicate poverty and become rich," said Mo Wenzhen, a resident of Nongjiao village in Baise.

Mo, in his early 70s, moved to Nongjiao in 1987, along with fellow residents of Shangxing, a village hidden in the depths of the mountains.

He rented 30 hectares of fallow land to grow mangoes, and in 2017, his family's annual per capita income reached more than 8,000 yuan, far higher than the 152 yuan they earned before relocating. Meanwhile, per household incomes of other former Shangxing residents ranged from 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a year.

In Dongda village, Tiandong county, to the west of Nongjiao, 51-year-old Li Wenshe owns a 20-hectare mango orchard. In 2011, Li, who is a senior village official, led the establishment of a mango cooperative.

Expert guidance

He received expert guidance when he was considering cutting down his mango trees in 2000. His produce wasn't selling well, which meant he was losing money, but a fruit plantation expert sent by the county authorities taught him grafting techniques to develop new varieties of mango.

After study and investigation, Li picked up the technique and began growing new varieties such as Guiqi and Jinhuang, which quickly became popular and their price rose to several times that of the old varieties.

"To develop the mango industry, we must rely on science and technology," Li said.

He has the management of mango plantations down to a fine art, so he has significantly raised his yields by pruning branches, preserving moisture and fertility, and employing eco-friendly cultivation techniques.

Having tasted the benefits, Li rented three more plantations covering a total 76 hectares with the support of local government.

His mangoes have made their way across the country, including to Shanghai and Beijing. In 2011, Li set up a mango cooperative and brought together scattered growers to scale up production.

The move helped more than 200 rural households improve cultivation methods and raise incomes. By 2018, the cooperative's plantations covered 266 hectares, and the annual per capita income of the 156 members was 150,000 yuan.

To optimize the quality of Baise mangoes, the city has been assessing and growing new varieties that have adapted well to the local climate and soil conditions.

To date, Baise has cultivated more than 30 mango varieties, some of which are already on sale.

The development of the road and high-speed rail networks, e-commerce and logistics have given Baise's mango sales a shot in the arm.

In the old days, fruit dealers from outside the autonomous region were unwilling to take local mangoes because of the risk that they would go off during long journeys, according to Huang Guodi, an expert with the Guangxi Subtropical Crops Research Institute. Now, the problem no longer exists. "E-commerce sales are very fast," Huang added.

Last year, "Baise Mango" was added to a list of protected geographical indications that are mutually recognized by China and the European Union.

That has led the city's mango growers to become optimistic about the future, saying the move has opened a channel for their produce to enter the EU market and boost sales across the world.
