In recent days, Longan County Government is advocating and organizing purchase of bananas to help banana farmers out after the banana harvest. It has allocated special funds to buy bananas from farmers and at the same time mobilize people in the County to buy more bananas so as to help banana farmers solve the problem of stagnant selling of bananas after the harvest. The County Government has set up teams and stations to purchase banana at one yuan a kilogram from farmers and then donate the bananas to homes for the elderly, households enjoying five guarantees, households with financial difficulties, as well as poverty-stricken households in remote mountainous areas in the County.
Up to now Longan County has bought more than 30,000 kilograms of bananas and donated 1,250 kilograms of them to students with disabilities and poverty-stricken households in remote mountainous areas.
