The per capita cash income of Chinese farmers hit 2,762 yuan (345 U.S.
dollars) in the first nine months of the year, up 11.4 percent year on
year, a National Bureau of Statistics spokesman said in Beijing on
October 19.
Responding to questions at a press conference, spokesman Li Xiaochao
attributed the growth of farmers' income to several factors, including
growing earnings of migrant laborers and higher income yielded from farm
produce sales.
Revenue growth in secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas and
government subsidies to farmers have also given farmers' income a boost,
the spokesman said.
