By the end of this year, Astragalus at our base should be ready for harvest. With such plenty of power supporting us, we don’t have to worry about the production at all!” In the atmosphere of herbs’ faint scent, Wang Longping with Longxi Qizheng Medicine Co., Ltd. introduces their firm’s medicinal herbs and decoction pieces products to the staff of State Grid Dingxi Electric Power Company, who is here for the electrical safety inspection.
