Highland barley is the main agricultural product in Rongan Township, and animal husbandry and forestry account for a certain proportion. The territory is rich in forest resources, producing Fritillaria, astragalus, rhubarb and other wild medicinal materials.

cultural education

There are 113 students and 203 primary school students in Wusuo village in Rongan central school. Generally speaking, the construction of school buildings and equipment is backward, and the teaching work of teachers and students are very poor. Under such conditions, there is no standard and high-quality Library in Rongan central school. However, all teachers try their best to collect some books and actively transform students' extracurricular reading conditions. However, the number and content of books are far from meeting the needs of students. So the principal of the school promised: "as long as there is a book donation from the overseas China Education Foundation, we will try our best to manage and make good use of it, so that the students in these mountainous areas can get more knowledge.".
