In recent years, Shandong Province has fully leveraged its industrial advantages in its "pairing assistance" programs on supporting Xinjiang, with the priority of promoting employment through development and actively cultivating distinctive and high-quality industries.

In Kashgar region, efforts have been made to support the development of specialty agricultural industries. With the support of research institutes such as Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, more than 20 agricultural task forces have been established in Kashgar to conduct research projects, provide technical guidance and services. Over 110 agricultural technologies related to planting, breeding, and cultivation management have been promoted, contributing to the continuous expansion, optimization, and strengthening of the local agricultural industry.
