In Hall 18, North Gate of Cixi Grand Theatre, with a red curtain slowly unveiled, five characters of “Butuo Agricultural Products Pavilion” were displayed in front of everyone. On June 14th, the upgraded Butuo Agricultural Products Pavilion made a new appearance. Deng Xingwei, deputy secretary of Butuo County Committee of Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and Dong Weibo, deputy mayor of Cixi City jointly unveiled the Butuo Agricultural Products Museum.
Walking into Butuo Agricultural Products Museum, rows of agricultural special products from Butuo are neatly arranged on the exhibition platform, such as black potato, bitter buckwheat tea, wild honey, dried mushrooms, hand-torn beef, and various canned and gift-packed miscellaneous grains such as red beans, black beans, mung beans, oatmeal and bitter buckwheat rice. The colorful and high-quality agricultural products are like a feast, attracting many visitors’ admiration.

At present, the best-selling products are tartary buckwheat series products.” According to the relevant person in charge of the agricultural products museum, Butuo Tartary Buckwheat products with health care function are the most popular, and the number and variety of tartary buckwheat tea in the series of tartary buckwheat products are the most, and the buyers are also the most.
Mountains and rivers become attached to each other and work together. Since Cixi and Butuo started the cooperation between the east and the west, the two places have worked hard hand in hand. Last year, led by Cixi Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Butuo County Bureau of Commerce, China Charity Yafei Public Welfare Fund and Ningbo Zhongmin Yixuan Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. jointly initiated and operated the Butuo Agricultural Products Exhibition Center in Cixi Grand Theatre, and opened in August of the same year, focusing on the exhibition of special agricultural products in Butuo County. In order to better promote Butuo, further help Butuo farmers to increase their income, and make it easier for the general public in Cixi to buy Butuo specialty agricultural products, this year, after transformation and upgrading, more abundant Butuo agricultural products were introduced, and the “Butuo Agricultural Products Museum” was newly unveiled. In the next step, Butuo Agricultural Products Museum will also be widely promoted through live broadcast and other forms, and further increase assistance through “purchasing instead of donating”.
“I am very grateful to Cixi for its great help. Through the platform of Butuo Agricultural Products Museum, the green and high-quality Butuo agricultural special products were introduced to the general public in Cixi for consumption, which not only enhanced Butuo’s popularity, but also promoted Butuo people to increase their income.” Rebecca, director of Butuo County Bureau of Commerce, said that he believed that Cibu’s cooperative peers would surely bear happy fruits. It is understood that since Butuo Agricultural Products Exhibition Center opened to the public in August last year, it has purchased more than 5 million yuan of Butuo agricultural products. During the exhibition, these products have gradually become familiar and loved by the general public, rallying Cixi’s strong help to Butuo and helping compatriots of all ethnic groups to achieve common prosperity.
