Yellow Bamboo Shoots

Yellow Bamboo Shoots

　　Luoxiang Yellow Bamboo Shoots and Sweet Bamboo Shoots are renowned both within and beyond the county. The Luoxiang Township has long been known for its tradition of cultivating yellow and sweet bamboo shoots, which have gained fame across the region. To date, nearly 10,000 mu of yellow bamboo shoot forests and 6,000 mu of sweet bamboo shoot forests have been planted. Annual production reaches 200,000 jin of yellow bamboo shoots and over 100,000 jin of sweet bamboo shoots. The income from these two types of bamboo shoots alone amounts to 220,000 yuan, averaging 20 yuan per person. Yellow bamboo shoots are made into pickled bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, which are sold as far as Liuzhou and other cities, while sweet bamboo shoots are also widely distributed both within and beyond the county and the region.

Both yellow and sweet bamboo shoots are most abundantly produced and of higher quality in Luoxiang. Pingzhu Village Committee is the one with the highest production of sweet bamboo shoots in the whole township. The fresh sweet bamboo shoots from this committee are mainly sold within and beyond the county, while the roasted bamboo shoots are distributed across the region and beyond. Sales remain strong every year. Meanwhile, the pickled bamboo shoots processed in the Luoxiang Village Committee area are even more famous across the region and are in high demand. In recent years, the township Party committee and government have vigorously advocated and called on farmers to adjust their product structure, placing special emphasis on replanting, better management, and the transformation of low-yield forests. As a result, greater attention has been paid to the production and management of bamboo shoot forests, leading to逐年增长的产量 and tangible benefits for farmers who have embraced bamboo shoot cultivation and industrial restructuring.
