Sanchang Yam is a protected geographical indication product.

　　Sanchang Yam is a specialty of Jiaoling County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province. The town of Sanchang boasts uniquely suitable sandy soil and selenium-rich land for yam cultivation. Coupled with farmers' extensive planting experience and the use of organic fertilizer, the yams produced here are known for their powdery texture, firm consistency, pleasant taste, and high nutritional value, making them one of the ten signature longevity foods of Jiaoling County.

　　In recent years, the town of Sanchang has introduced new yam varieties, established pollution-free yam planting bases, and vigorously promoted standardized and regulated cultivation techniques. It has also formed a yam cooperative, and boosted sales channels through methods such as farm-to-supermarket programs, visitor experiences, and direct purchases—all of which have increased the economic benefits of yam cultivation and greatly motivated local farmers to grow yams. To further promote the Sanchang Yam as a signature longevity food of the “World Longevity Township,” the town has also utilized e-commerce platforms to distribute Sanchang Yam across the country.
