Original title: Large-scale radish farming: quick results, high returns

"These days, the radish price is still decent, with the wholesale price at around 6 jiao per jin, and trucks come to load them every day, so there's no worry about selling," villager Liu Ming said recently while washing radishes and chatting with this writer at Xiashuikou in Shuangxi Village, Longhua Town, Jiangjin District.

This writer saw that beside the highway, basket after basket of washed radishes were neatly arranged, waiting for workers to load them onto trucks. "Growing radishes takes little time and brings quick results; you can make money in just 3 months," Liu Ming said. This year he planted 8 mu of radishes, with a yield of more than 6,000 jin per mu, and he expects an income of more than 30,000 yuan.

It is understood that this year the town's radish planting area reached more than 700 mu, with output set to reach more than 4 million jin, and this alone can bring villagers more than 2 million yuan in income.
