Tiantang Town, is adjacent to Guangdong, with fertile soil and good climate, making it very suitable for the growth of corn. Over the past three years, Bao Zhenchang, chairman of Yizhang Shunheng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., has visited Guangdong multiple times to investigate the market and seek cooperation. While gaining a deeper understanding of vegetable consumption preferences in the Greater Bay Area, he discovered that fresh corn is highly favored.

 

 

After trial planting of multiple varieties and comparison of market feedback, Jinbaitian 15 with high soluble sugar content was selected and widely planted. At present, 30,000 to 90,000 kilograms of fresh corn of this variety can be delivered every day.

 

Bao Zhenchang, Chairman of Yizhang Shunheng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., said, "We planted two seasons of corn this year, with an area of about 7,000 mu (466.67 hectares). It’s mainly sold to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with a good price.”

 

After three years of exploration, there is a scientific management process in corn planting. The yield per mu (about 0.067 hectares) has also increased to 1,100 kilograms from 900 kilograms, and the annual corn yield can reach over 3 million kilograms. The corn is in short supply in the market for its excellent quality. Besides, related jobs are also provided for local villagers.

 

 

 “It’s hard to find a job at our age. Now we can earn over 2,000 yuan per month here. I’m very satisfied,” said a villager from Litou Village.

 

In order to bring more local vegetables to the dining tables of people in the Greater Bay Area, the land here rotates continuously throughout the year, and the corn fields are immediately plowed up after harvesting for winter vegetable cultivation.

 

At present, the company has a vegetable base of more than 4,800 mu (320 hectares), with an annual output of over 20,000 tons and a total output value of over 43.8 million yuan. It has offered jobs for more than 300 people through its direct industry and helped more than 10,000 villagers to increase income.
