Farm machine maker looks to greener pastures

Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region has deep roots in agriculture and was one of the first parts of China where agricultural machinery was used. In fact, Xinjiang Boman Agricultural Machinery Company, a major agricultural machinery manufacturer in Xinjiang, has been so successful there that it now needs to find other areas of the country to sow its seeds.

About 2,000 kilometers from the sea, Xinjiang is dry and has plenty of sunshine all year round, which is optimal for produce such as wheat, cotton, corn and grapes.
