Xiamen builds weather alert system for agricultural product market
Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Commerce recently signed a cooperation agreement with Xiamen Meteorological Bureau to build an alert system for the agricultural product market.
The commerce bureau provides the weather bureau with weather-related information with regards to agricultural products, including species in the market, producing areas, types of transportation, and the weather center in turn makes specific plans for products to give instant alerts for weather changes, according to the agreement.
Xiamen commerce bureau will take measures in advance to ensure adequate supplies of agricultural products.

Why Xiamen
-
Xiamen is one of the most economically competitive cities in China and was one of the first Special Economic Zones on the Chinese mainland. As a vice-provincial city independently listed on the State development plan, it has provincial-level authority in economic administration and local legislative power. In 2010, the Xiamen SEZ was expanded to cover the entire municipality. Today, Xiamen is a modern and international port city.
