Historically, Luoji Township, located at the border, was once an important border trade town where merchants gathered. However, since 1980s, Luoji Township has gradually become an economically weak township in Xiayi County because of its remoteness, lack of industry and slow development. Since 2003, Luoji Township has actively responded to the call of the municipal party committee and municipal government to attract investment, and is determined to change Luoji's economic status in the county through attracting investment. Through more than four years' efforts, today's Luoji Township has finally got rid of the hat of weak economy and become a moderately developed township in Xiayi County.

As the saying goes, "success is Xiao He, failure is me". Luoji Township, located in a remote and backward border area, is a magic weapon for attracting investment, and it also relies on the economic talents emerging in the border countryside.
