Wei Baigang, head of the development planning department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said 90 percent of the registered impoverished population received industrial and employment support, more than two-thirds of whom successfully cast off poverty by working in cities or local industries.

Every impoverished county across China has developed two to three major industries for poverty alleviation with local characteristics, bringing abundant jobs, Wei told a press conference on April 28.

By February, the number of poor counties had been reduced from 832 in late 2017 to 52.

Learning the worms he had raised were exported and made into different kinds of food, Li felt excited and proud.

"I hope I can travel abroad someday in the future, buy some worm products and have a taste," he said.
