Dianshan Turnip

　　The Dianshan turnip is a specialty agricultural product of Ganjiang, named for its flat, disc-like shape. With over 160 years of cultivation history, it boasts a smooth exterior, tender white skin, delicious flesh, and high quality, making it highly favored in the markets of Wenzhou and Taizhou. It has been recognized as a ministry-level pollution-free agricultural product production area and won a "Gold Award" at the provincial agricultural expo. In recent years, it has not only entered markets in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, but has also been exported to Russia, France, and other regions for seven consecutive years. In September this year, Dianshan Tou Village in the town was listed by the Ministry of Agriculture as one of the fourth batch of national "One Village, One Product" demonstration villages, thanks to the "Dianshan Turnip."

　　　　Dianshan Tou Village is located on the Chumen Peninsula in Yuhuan County, with over 1,600 acres of agricultural land. The planting scale of Dianshan turnips reaches more than 1,500 acres, making it a pillar industry of the village's specialty agriculture, with over 160 years of cultivation history. In recent years, the village has tailored its efforts based on local conditions, oriented toward market demand, and supported by technology to comprehensively optimize resource allocation. It has adjusted the planting structure of upland fields and paddy fields, developing a vegetable production base centered on Dianshan turnips. In 2013, the village produced 4,750 tons of Dianshan turnips, generating an industry income of 16.25 million yuan. There are two farmer professional cooperatives and one leading agricultural enterprise established around the Dianshan turnip industry in the village, along with a team of agricultural product brokers. The training rate for farmers in production and sales reached 100%, while the purchase and sales rate by agricultural product brokers exceeded 70%. The Dianshan Tou Village’s Dianshan turnip industry features scaled bases, standardized production, and integrated processing and sales, driving the rapid development of the Dianshan turnip industry.
