In the early hours of the night, the fruit and vegetable auction market is still bustling with people, and when the time comes, they immediately compete for their prey like hyenas. However, in a corner of the Banqiao auction market, there are many anomalies. A brand-new refrigerator is filled with all kinds of leafy vegetables packaged in plastic bags, while the bright three-meter Kanban on the back shows the big words "organic auction area."

This is the Banqiao Fruit and vegetable Wholesale Market, which opened for the first time in April last year. The difference from the traditional market lies in the full use of electronic transactions to ensure payment to farmers within three days. Solar power generation and lithium-iron battery transport vehicles are also available in the park. Apart from the equipment division, the first and only "organic fruit and vegetable auction area" has been opened since August last year, in an attempt to integrate the policies of agricultural administrative units in promoting organic agriculture in an all-round way.

"the access road must be made first, and then the agricultural road will be opened." Zhang Jiawei, head of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Section of the Agriculture Bureau of the New North Municipal Government, stressed that he wants to bring the organic auction area into line with the New North organic agriculture policy and open the supply and demand channel of organic agriculture.
