With a planting area of 400,000 mu (about 26,666 hectares), pomegranate in Huili County accounts for about a quarter of the country's total, with an annual output of 700,000 tons. He Shuang, 24, resigned from an airline in 2017 and started to sell pomegranates in hometown. One year later, her sister He Qian came back home to help after graduation. In 2019, the sisters had sold four million kilograms of pomegranates from August to November through the e-commerce platform Pinduoduo. They have become pioneers to sell local agricultural products on e-commerce. (Xinhua/Jiang Hongjing)
