Qingyun Scallions

Qingyun Scallions

　　Qingyun scallions are a specialty of Qingyun County in Dezhou City, Shandong Province. The main area for scallion cultivation in Qingyun County is Xuyuanzi Township. Thanks to the high-quality soil, convenient irrigation, and long-standing planting tradition, the scallions are of excellent quality—mildly spicy with a hint of sweetness, crisp and tender, featuring long white stalks that store well.

　　In recent years, the county has leveraged the suitability of its red clay soil for scallion growth to expand and strengthen the scallion cultivation industry. It has actively helped farmers establish scallion planting and sales associations, providing them with unified services from planting to harvesting. Currently, the scallions are enjoying a bumper harvest, with merchants from Tianjin, Binzhou, Jinan, and other areas coming in an endless stream. The daily export volume of scallions exceeds 200 tons.
