Zhouying Red-Skin Potatoes

Zhouying Red-Skin Potatoes

　　Zhouying Town is a major agricultural hub with a long-standing tradition of potato farming. In recent years, the town’s Party committee and government have capitalized on this strength by implementing a range of measures—policy incentives, model-led initiatives, technological advancement, and service support—to continuously boost the development of the potato industry. As a result, the industry has seen rapid growth. Villages such as Shaheya, Tiefu, and Lihiawan are leading producers of red-skin potatoes, where nearly every household has grown prosperous through potato cultivation. Using these villages as models, the town has promoted red-skin potato farming across the entire area, introducing a series of preferential policies such as free plastic film subsidies and priority access to loans. Consequently, the planting scale has expanded rapidly. To date, the town has developed 13,000 mu of greenhouse-grown red-skin potatoes and over 4,000 mu of field-grown red-skin potatoes.
