During the Spring Festival holiday, farmers were busy harvesting taro on sunny days at the taro planting base in Xiadong Village, Linwu County, Chenzhou City.
Taro is one of the specialties of Linwu, with great market potential, good development prospects, and high economic benefits.
At present, Linwu has nearly 100,000 mu (about 6,666.67 hectares) of taro, including the two major planting areas of Shunfeng Town and Wushui Town.
From October last year to January this year, the daily output reached nearly 200 tons. With the sales period up to 6 months, the taro is mainly sold to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao market such as Guangdong and Shenzhen.
