Xinjiang’s Golden Bloom: Safflower Fields Fuel Economic Growth 🌼💼

Imagine seas of golden-red flowers stretching to the horizon—this is Yumin County’s midsummer magic! 🌞 For over 60 years, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has cultivated safflowers, transforming this vibrant crop into an economic powerhouse. 💪

With 200,000 mu (about 13,333 hectares) of safflower fields, Yumin County leverages its natural advantages: intense sunshine, crisp water, and nutrient-rich soil. 🌱 The result? Some of China’s highest-quality safflower oil, medicinal extracts, and dyes—products now driving rural revitalization.

Local farmers aren’t just growing flowers; they’re harvesting opportunities. 💡 By expanding the industry chain—from farming to processing and branding—Xinjiang is painting a brighter future for its communities. 🎨 "This isn’t just agriculture," says a local entrepreneur. "It’s tradition meeting innovation."
