　　Wushan Village is located in the northeastern part of Xinwei Town, Fujian Province. Since introducing onion varieties for cultivation in 1968, it has accumulated over forty years of growing history, and local farmers have developed extensive planting expertise. With strong support and assistance from municipal and district government departments, Wushan Village has actively promoted the development of the green onion industry, establishing this resource advantage as part of its “one village, one product” initiative. In 2007, the village established the Shanggong Green Onion Professional Cooperative, implementing measures such as large-scale base management, pollution-free scientific cultivation, and branded market sales, forming an integrated production, procurement, and sales consortium. Currently, the cooperative has over 200 members, and the village has 46 green onion processing and sales outlets. In addition to processing onions grown locally, they also purchase onions from areas such as Jinjiang and Putian for processing. The professional cooperative also organizes farmers to learn scientific planting techniques through various means, including inviting agricultural experts to give lectures, running production skills training courses, and providing on-site guidance from agricultural specialists, thus fully leveraging the demonstration and driving role of the production base.

　　Today, the production of Wushan Green Onions has expanded to multiple towns in the surrounding areas, with the establishment of a pollution-free production base covering tens of thousands of mu. Annual output exceeds 45,000 tons, with a total output value of 87 million yuan.
