Jinyun Water Bamboo

　　Jinyun water bamboo is a specialty of Jinyun County in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. Townships such as Dayang, Qianlu, and Huzhen in Jinyun County, leveraging their unique climate advantages, produce water bamboo that is tender, crisp, high-quality, and delicious, gradually building a strong brand presence both within and outside the province.

　　Water bamboo is a specialty of Jinyun. It is a pathogenic product of a plant called “Zizania,” which is a grain-producing plant.

　　In recent years, the water bamboo industry in Jinyun has developed rapidly, with a total planting area of 36,000 mu, making it one of the province’s main water bamboo production regions. Currently, there are four main cultivation models for Jinyun water bamboo: high-mountain single-season water bamboo, single-season water bamboo harvested twice a year, double-season water bamboo, and greenhouse-grown water bamboo. Jinyun leads the city in terms of planting scale and diverse cultivation methods.

　　Through implementing a brand-building and premiumization strategy, Jinyun has registered several high-mountain water bamboo brands, including “Shanla,” “Jinshuishan,” and “Xiandu.” Among them, the 4,000-mu high-mountain water bamboo base under the “Shanla” and “Jinshuishan” brands has obtained provincial-level green agricultural product certification, and the “Shanla” brand high-mountain water bamboo has been certified by the Ministry of Agriculture as a green product. Pollution-free water bamboo from townships such as Dayang, Qianlu, and Huzhen in Jinyun County is continuously supplied to vegetable markets in major cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Ningbo, with a daily sales volume of about 50 tons.
