“Our sour chili peppers are very popular,” said a villager from Qingxi Village of Baishui Yao Township. This exhibition provides them with a good sales platform. The sour chili peppers and preserved products in the village have been recognized by the market. He is planning to open a local specialty store in Guiyang County to let urban people taste authentic Baishui products and drive more villagers to boost income.

 

 

Liu Xiaoyan, a villager from Banqiao Village of Liufeng Town, sells ginger at the exhibition. She introduced the effects of ginger, attracting many customers to purchase. Her father has planted 2 mu (about 0.13 hectares) of yellow ginger, and there has been a bumper harvest of yellow ginger this year, but sales have been a challenge. This exhibition gave her full confidence. It’s hoped that there will be more such trading platforms in the future to help villagers sell agricultural and sideline products.
