Meanwhile, the industrial promotion budget to support establishments that have achieved the title of typical rural industrial products is still not much, the new content focuses on supporting innovation in applying science and advanced machinery in production; the content of supporting the construction of showrooms for products that have achieved national titles is still limited.
