Can rural collective wasteland be rented out to people to build factories? I heard that farming is not allowed to build factories.

You can consult the local township land and resources management office. The land department has specially designated basic farmland protection areas. If it is included in the protected area, it is definitely impossible to build a factory. If it only belongs to general cultivated land, you can apply for protective agricultural land. Of course, factories that protect agricultural land can only be used for agriculture, such as agricultural and sideline products processing plants, livestock and poultry breeding and so on.

To go through the formalities for the use of agricultural land for facilities, you must go to the Land Institute and the Agricultural Technology Service Center (also called the Agricultural Technology Station) to get the form and report it to the County Land and Resources Bureau and the Agricultural Bureau for approval.
