Why is Yuantan Town in Qingyuan City underdeveloped?

Traffic is underdeveloped and resources are unevenly distributed. Yuantan Town is a window town and a central town in Qingcheng District, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province. It is adjacent to Fogang County in the east, Huadu District and Conghua City in Guangzhou in the south, Longtang Town and Qingyuan City in the west and Feilaixia Town in the north, only12km away from Qingyuan City and over 60km away from Guangzhou City. Due to underdeveloped transportation and uneven distribution of resources, the development speed is slow. The agricultural management system is underdeveloped, and rural cooperative organizations have a short development time, small scale and low competitiveness, resulting in poor anti-risk ability.
