On August 29, Baoshen Railway carried out the “Consumption-based Poverty Alleviation for Rural Revitalization” Initiative to purchase special agricultural products from assisted regions by distributing poverty alleviation consumption vouchers worth RMB 2.063 million, aligning with the assistance principle of prioritizing consumption than donation.
In recent years, Baoshen Railway has been procuring agricultural products from counties receiving paired-up assistance and through the energy sector’s consumption-based assistance programs, contributing to consolidating and expanding achievements in poverty alleviation through consumption. The company has organized employees to purchase agricultural products from the counties by issuing targeted poverty alleviation consumption vouchers, encouraging employee engagement in poverty alleviation. In addition to direct economic support, Baoshen Railway focuses on enhancing the self-development capacities of the assisted regions. The company has provided fund investment and technology assistance to help local farmers around Baotou City upgrade their ground-source heat pump heating systems and build new cold storage facilities for fruits and vegetables to support the development of special agricultural industries, enabling farmers to acquire practical skills and enhance their self-development capacities. Furthermore, Baoshen Railway has provided platforms for the matchmaking among farmers, enterprises, and markets, establishing stable supply chains to inject vitality into rural revitalization.
