The Pingzhang Programme in Yunnan Province, China followed on the progress of neighbouring Haitang Administrative Village where the inaugural YLP was held in 2006. Participants focused on the warehousing and packaging of cash crops, in particular walnuts and medicinal plants, which would allow farmers to meet seasonal variations to maximise profits. The plan also included an initiative to certify organic non-timber forest products for sale in domestic markets and for export to Europe.
