足不出户 走遍全世界
A | (ECNS) -- Datong City in north China's Shanxi Province saw its agricultural imports and exports exceed 250 million yuan (about $35.7 million) in the first half of this year, with notable growth in both trade volume and product quality. Datong Customs has introduced full-cycle services and smarter supervision across the agricultural supply chain. Working with local agricultural and market regulatory authorities, it carried out joint inspections, training, guidance and problem-solving services, visiting more than 20 enterprises during the first half of the year. The Datong Municipal Commerce Bureau has also adopted a tailored "one enterprise, one policy" approach. In Tianzhen County, a cross-border e-commerce and miscellaneous grains industrial park has been established, bringing together nine agricultural e-commerce companies and creating a digital channel for local agricultural products to reach overseas markets. Customs authorities have also stepped up support for local exporters. In Hunyuan County, officials have worked with enterprises to facilitate exports, while a company in Lingqiu County received one-on-one guidance on registration procedures for exporting chili sauce to Mongolia. Datong Customs has also helped leading companies, including Tianzhen Bocheng Vegetable Co., Ltd., obtain AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification. Measures such as online certificate issuance and streamlined customs clearance procedures have further improved efficiency. Processed food exports have emerged as a key driver of growth. In the first half of the year, Datong's tomato paste exports surged 476.2% year on year, while buckwheat flour exports rose 47%. Dehydrated vegetables from Tianzhen County have also been showcased at several international exhibitions, helping local companies secure orders worth millions of dollars. Datong has continued to expand the overseas reach of its agricultural products. Locally produced tomato paste has entered markets including Russia, Mali, Moldova and Gambia, while the city exported tomato sauce to the Republic of Korea for the first time. Local companies have also participated in major international food exhibitions, including SIAL Paris and the Global Traditional Food and Nutrition Products Expo, securing multiple cooperation agreements. Meanwhile, international recognition of "Datong Hao Liang" (Datong Good Grains), the city's regional agricultural brand, has continued to grow. (By Tang Yuxian) 
。 SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California officials on Thursday faulted communities in a stretch of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley for failing to develop a plan to adequately protect groundwater in the often drought-plagued state.The state's water resources board set an April hearing to determine whether the Tulare Lake Subbasin in the heart of California's farm country should be placed on probation. It is the first time the state has made such a move, and the first step in a lengthy process that could end up requiring large farms in the area to report groundwater use and pay fees.California is starting to regulate the pumping of groundwater after years of drought and overpumping left rural residents’ wells dry and led to subsidence, or the sinking of land, in some communities. Both issues have affected the largely agricultural region, which is home to 145,000 people, and stand to worsen absent revisions to the local groundwater plan, officials said.“This is an urgent issue,” said Natalie Stork, an official at the State Water Resources Control Board. “There are urgent impacts from continued overdraft in these basins.”The state enacted a 2014 law tasking communities with forming groundwater agencies and making plans to manage the resource sustainably, starting with the most critically overdrafted basins, including the Tulare Lake Subbasin.Five groundwater agencies joined together come up with a plan for the subbasin where farmers grow cotton, almonds and pistachios. But the plan was one of six that California's Department of Water Resources deemed inadequate this year.Now, the State Water Resources Control Board will hold a hearing April 16 to decide whether to place the Tulare Lake Subbasin on probation. If it does, large pumpers would report their groundwater usage and pay fees while the local agencies draft a new plan for the basin. If they don't, the board could eventually implement its own plan.Many communities rely mainly or solely on groundwater for drinking water and farmers count on it for irrigation, especially in a drought. California muddled through a spell of dry years until a series of winter storms drenched the state and dumped massive amounts of snow in the mountains. When the snow melted, it flowed down to form the reemerging Tulare Lake, which covered vast stretches of farmland with water. California has long tended toward wet and dry periods, but scientists at University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have said they expect climate change will lead to drier dry years and wetter wet years.。
