On this basis, Guangdong will also launch a pilot project for the construction of ecological agricultural cooperatives.

The monitoring results of third-party organizations in Huicheng, Huiyang, Boluo, Taishan, Kaiping and Enping show that the average fertilization intensity of rice in the new project is 46.37kg, which is nearly 10% lower than the same period last year; the amount of fertilizer applied by farmers in the old project is kept below 45kg, and the number of times of pesticide application is reduced by 1-2 times; the average rice yield per mu of farmers in the new project is 381.82 kg, an increase of more than 10% over the same period last year.
