The first China-made proprietary light multi-purpose plane, which came off the production line in Shijiazhuang, marked a milestone in the city's manufacturing history. Textiles and garments Textiles and garments have long been important to the city's economy. At its peak, the sector had 1 million spindles and 100,000 workers. At present, 53 companies are involved in the industry. Among them, Shijiazhuang Changshan Textile Group is listed one of the 50 key textile companies in the country and among the 30 top enterprises in the province. Agriculture is also an important part of local economy. Sprawling across the north China plain, Shijiazhuang has been termed "the barn in the region". Its fertile soil, distinct seasons and ample rain and sunshine provide the needed natural conditions for intensive farming Wheat, corn, vegetables, pears, dates, eggs, diary products and pork are the major produce of Shijiazhuang's counties. Its annual output of eggs accounts for about one-tenth of the country's total. The city is also a regional commercial hub. More than 150,000 commercial operations are housed in its 120 department stores and trade centers and 29 shopping arcades. Among them, 34 companies have more than 100 million yuan in annual sales. The city's markets for leather, cloth and timber provide a boon to locals and spur the growth of both the local and regional economy. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
