The example of Xiamen Baili Seedling Co., Ltd., a leading agricultural enterprise in Xiamen, is very representative. Kang Yingde, general manager of the company, admitted that the agricultural facilities in the Baili seedling production base are perfect and advanced in Xiamen. However, after the typhoon “Morante” occurred last year, the agricultural facilities in the base were seriously damaged. In particular, almost all kinds of greenhouses are spared.
