A deep look into the quality of farming in China's Heilongjiang Province shows a lot of progress and challenges.  Building farming practices that benefit the environment and make sure everyone gets a share requires over twenty years of efforts.

From 2013 to 2022, Heilongjiang has seen an upward trend in farming practices. The region has seen a steady growth from 0. 160 in 2013 to 0. 396 in 2022, which is quite impressive

 It is important to look at the physical resources of the land when comparing agricultural output.

Three regions and twelve cities were compared in the study, revealing how much variation in farming practices exists

Three regions are quite a size

Regions like the Sanjiang Plain, renowned for its rich soil and agricultural resources, are lagging behind in regional comparisons. Cities like Harbin and Qiqihar have seen remarkable growth, which makes them stand out among their peers.

In looking at the agricultural development strategy, the economic gains are not evenly distributed, and many cities struggle to keep up. Furthermore, the data shows a clear trend of inter-regional disparity decreasing.

Each area is unique.

Farming practices vary hugely from region to region with some areas having more resources available than others.

Areas such as the Songnen Plain seem to focus more on producing just one or two crops, which ironically can stifle development in their unique farming practices.

Despite the overall progress, the report highlights that the consistent integration of agricultural structural coordination is key.

Innovative approaches, such as improving farming methods for variety growth and cross-farming practices, will be crucial to developing a better strategy.
