Tiaodeng Scallions

Tiaodeng Scallions is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　The cultivation of scallions in Tiaodeng Town dates back to the 1970s. The core growing areas are in villages such as Shanjixi, Shatuo, Shipan, and Jin’ao, where abundant groundwater, high altitude, and cool temperatures produce scallions with bright red bulbs, a pungent and delicious flavor, uniformly round and large size, and an attractive appearance.

　　In 2009, under government guidance, the Tiaodeng Town Vegetable Agriculture Professional Cooperative was established. Out of the 1,331 member households, over 90% grow scallions, covering an area of more than 7,000 mu. With the impetus of the professional cooperative, “Tiaodeng Scallions” have secured fixed sales quotas in supermarkets such as Yonghui, New Century, Walmart, and Chongbai.

　　Currently, the annual production of “Tiaodeng Scallions” is 20,000 tons, with annual sales revenue reaching 50 million yuan. The town’s officials stated that, taking the opportunity of “Tiaodeng Scallions” obtaining a geographical trademark, they will invite relevant experts for research and training to further improve cultivation techniques, expand planting scale, and help “Tiaodeng Scallions” make their way out of Chongqing.
