MILEAGE of the "green roads" in northwestern China's Shaanxi province, which exempts trucks carrying perishable agricultural products from tolls, has totalled to 7,038 kilometres, Xinhua reports.
The roads were free of CNY1 billion (US$158.5 million) in road tolls in 2011, and CNY2.12 billion since the toll exemption scheme started.
This year, the Shaanxi provincial government will also not collect on 62 second-grade highways to reduce logistics costs and steady prices of agricultural produce.
Meanwhile, the province will subsidise supply chain of agricultural produce to prevent disruptive price increases.
