Why is Macheng still a poor county?

The reasons why Macheng is still a poor county are as follows:

1. Macheng belongs to the Dabie Mountains area and is a county and city based on traditional agriculture. The terrain is complex and mountains and hills account for a large proportion. , the per capita cultivated land area is very small, which is not conducive to mechanized farming. Therefore, the level of agricultural production is low and it is difficult for people to increase their income.

2. Macheng is mainly agricultural, with a very weak industrial base and imperfect industrial system. Therefore, the level of industrialization is low, the county economy is underdeveloped, and the people's living standards are also low. Of course, they are poor.

3. People in the Macheng mountainous area are generally conservative in their thinking. They value literature and education. They all hope to change their destiny through reading. They do not have strong business awareness and entrepreneurial thinking, which is also one of the reasons for poverty.
