Sisal
Sisal is produced in the counties of Leizhou and Xuwen, with a total planting area of over 100,000 mu and an annual output of nearly 10,000 tons. It was successfully introduced, propagated, and promoted by the Dongfanghong Farm. In 1978, it won the "Rapid Propagation Award for Sisal" at the National Science Conference, and in 1988, it received the Second Prize for National Scientific and Technological Progress. The main variety grown at the farm is agave, accounting for about one-seventh of the national planting area and one-quarter of the national agave fiber production.
