Modernized farm on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(2)

With an average elevation of over 2,900 meters, Mainling Farm enjoys advantageous natural conditions of fruit planting: the strong ultraviolet rays, plenty of sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, as well as little pollution in Tibet. Owning a famous brand of green food "Karma", fruits produced by Mainling Farm are widely welcomed among Tibetans .

In old Tibet, the farm used to be specialized in producing fruits as a kind of tributes for monks and nobles of upper class. After the founding of Mainling Farm in 1960, it began to update itself continuously to serve ordinary residents on the plateau.

Moreover, the Mainling Farm also expands its business to breeding seedlings of featured flowers, pollution-free vegetables, mushrooms, and to chicken farming and liquor production. Now it has possessed the position of the largest fruit industrial base, seeding breeding base, and pollution-free poultry and eggs supply base of Tibet.
