The products are sold directly to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as cities such as Changsha and Wuhan. More than 1,000 local households have been driven to plant characteristic selenium-rich vegetables, which helped achieved local employment and income growth.
 
In recent years, relying on the natural selenium-rich soil resources, the village has adopted modern, large-scale, and standardized planting methods, developed rural leisure tourism and sightseeing agriculture, and strengthened the brand of selenium-rich agricultural products, in a bid to achieve the integration of the three industries and promote enterprise development and prosperity for the people.
