Technology, exports reshape a village's citrus economy in SW China's Chongqing https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/dae89294-6f58-41d5-ad2f-67b111836a0d Once, it took an hour to carry a 20-kilogram crate of mandarins down the hill. Now it takes two minutes — by drone. In Fucheng Village, southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, citrus has long supported local incomes. Today, technology and exports are reshaping the business. Drones move fruit down 500-meter hillsides. Automated lines sort and pack within minutes. Pre-cooled containers ship mandarins overseas in under an hour. Last year alone, around 400 containers were exported. From baskets on farmers' backs to drones in the sky, the transformation reflects a broader shift across rural China — from poverty alleviation to modernization and global competitiveness.
