　　Sweet corn from Luzhou Town is a specialty of Luzhou Town, Huicheng District, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province.

　　The main variety currently planted in Luzhou Town is super sweet corn (including Jinfeng Super Sweet No. 5, Zhongzhong Super Sweet No. 5, and Nongbao Super Sweet No. 3), all of which are high-quality varieties with strong market demand and good prospects. It can be consumed directly or processed into canned goods. In 2003, the total planting area in the town was 2,500 mu, with an average yield of about 1 ton per mu. Based on the contracted purchase price of 0.90 yuan per kilogram, the output value per mu could reach 900–1,000 yuan. The plan for next year is to expand the planting area to 3,500 mu, which is expected to increase farmers' income by 3.5 million yuan.
