Yichang City has published its plan of building “high-quality farmland” for the next eight years.

Yichang City will newly build 405,400 mu and upgrade 244,400 mu of high-quality farmland between 2022 and 2025. By 2025, the city will have 3.72 million mu high-quality farmland.
During the period of 2026-2030, Yichang city will newly build 448,100 mu and upgrade 407,100 mu of high-quality farmland. By 2030, the city will have 4,166,400 mu of high-quality farmland.
