Population: 41.40 million (2000 population census)

1. Name: Jiangxi Province

2. Area: 166,900 square kilometers

3. Population: 41.40 million (2000 population census)

4. Provincial Capital: Nanchang City

5. Geography: Jiangxi Province is in the eastern part of China, to the south of the middle-lower reaches of the Yangzte River. It is between 24° 29'-30° 04' N latitude and 113° 34'-118° 28' E longitude, and borders on Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei and Anhui.

6. Natural Resources: Jiangxi's area of cultivated land was 2.2981 million hectares, the effective irrigated area was 1.9001 million hectares, and it is one of China's main grain production areas. Jiangxi's forest coverage rate was 53.3%. In addition, Jiangxi has many freshwater fish resources of high value and many types of rare waterfowl and even rare animals that are protected worldwide. Nearly 130 types of minerals have been found in Jiangxi; 28 of them are among the richest deposits in China, and 11 types are the first in order of the deposits' size.

7. Economy: In 2000, the gross domestic product of Jiangxi was 200.307 billion Yuan; the gross industrial and agricultural output value was 231.867 billion Yuan. The total value of imports and exports was 1,623.99 million US dollars; total provincial government revenue was 17.169 billion Yuan. The yield of grain was 16.146 million tons in 2000, the highest in history. However, the economic structure of Jiangxi is not very good: agriculture is relatively week, and it is difficult for farmers to increase production further; some enterprises have had a hard time, and there are increasing numbers of workers being laid off so reemployment has become an issue.
