Litang is an important industrial town in Guangxi. In 2001, Litang's total industrial output value reached 700 million yuan. Litang is especially famous for its building materials products. Various industrial products such as cement, cement products, and construction machinery have become Litang's top products and are sold far and wide. Guangdong, Hainan and Southeast Asian countries and regions.

At present, Litang's industrial products have formed a pattern with cement as the leader, porcelain, refractory materials, steel, machinery, sugar, flour, food, chemicals, plastics, packaging and other industries simultaneously.

How to make the propeller of "fellows" keep moving? Litang people do not engage in "one size fits all" or "matching" in developing the individual and private economy. They steadily promote the strategic reorganization of township enterprises, reform the property rights system of enterprises, and revitalize existing assets.
