In recent years, Fuyuan has been focused on developing its cranberry industry. It has established a large-scale cranberry planting base and built up a full industrial chain which includes a cranberry research and development center, cold-chain warehouses, and processing workshops. The development of the local cranberry industry has helped improve local farmers' employment and income.
