Now, more than 400 mu (about 26.67 hectares) of purple sweet potatoes in the village have entered the harvest season. Local farmers are busy harvesting, sorting, packing and transporting purple sweet potatoes to ensure a steady market supply.
In recent years, the county government has leveraged its favorable soil and climate conditions to develop the purple sweet potato industry. 15 purple sweet potato bases have been built, with a planting area of 20,000 mu (about 1,333 hectares), which helps increase villagers’ income.
