A technological breakthrough in water management is transforming once-barren saline-alkali land in Payzawat County, China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, into a hub for high-value agriculture. The use of desalination technology and salt-tolerant crop varieties has allowed local farmers to cultivate crops in environments previously considered unproductive. Chen Zhen, a law graduate from Xinjiang University, is a key promoter of these desert products using digital marketing and livestreaming to gain traction across Chinese e-commerce platforms. The success of the tomato industry follows the established footprint of Payzwat's prune industry. The rapid growth of this specialty agriculture is part of a broader strategy to revitalize rural economies in arid regions.
