Located in the west of Guangxi, Tianyang District of Baise is the first

hometown of mango in China. Given a subtropical monsoon climate with warm

winter and long summer, and abundant sunshine, Tianyang is dubbed as "natural

greenhouse" and is abundant in fruits and vegetables. Relying on its

exceptional climate, Tianyang District has made great efforts to develop the

two dominant industries of mango and tomato. Mango is harvested from June to

August every year, and tomato from November to next April. "One Red and One

Green " helped farmers continuously increase their incomes. In 2020, the total

planting area of mango is 408,000 mu with an output of 280,000 tons; the main

bulk vegetable is tomato, which is marketed from November to April. In 2020,

the vegetable planting area of the whole region is 398,000 mu with an output of

875,800 tons. Mango and tomato have become the two pillar industries of the

district.

Agricultural Products Center Wholesale Market" designated by the Ministry of

Agriculture, the "Double Hundred Market Project" agricultural products

wholesale market determined by the Ministry of Commerce, and the key leading

With the ongoing development of e-commerce, Tianyang closely relied on

e-commerce network and established Tianyang Ganjie E-commerce Co., Ltd., built

the "Commercial County" e-commerce service platform, and established the

"Tianyang Characteristic Market"; it supported the construction of Alibaba
