Growing 60,000 jin of sweet potatoes a year, shredding them and grinding them into flour to make snacks

    Growing more than 30,000 kg of sweet potatoes a year, and the price is no lower than the market price, so how do you sell them?

This year, the Duohe Agricultural Base in Taoxi Town, Wuyi County, planted 40 mu of small fragrant sweet potatoes, and under careful management, the yield reached more than 30,000 kg. Faced with piles and piles of fragrant sweet potatoes in the warehouse, Zou Xiyan, the person in charge of the base, was at a loss for a while. After searching online and asking some agricultural science and technology personnel for advice, Zou Xiyan came up with a comprehensive plan for selling the fragrant sweet potatoes.

Zou Xiyan said that the small fragrant sweet potato is a type of sweet potato, with the characteristics of being "fragrant", "sweet", "glutinous", small in size, and high in nutritional value. Therefore, she packed each small fragrant sweet potato weighing about 200 grams into gift boxes, which instantly made an ordinary farm product look "high-end". As for the fragrant sweet potatoes with slightly poorer appearance, she shredded them, dried them in the sun, and ground them into flour. This flour can be made into fragrant sweet potato cakes, and can also be made into wowotou; like wheat flour, just add clean water and steam it into sweet, glutinous fragrant sweet potato cakes. Finally, the slightly larger fragrant sweet potatoes with a slightly poorer appearance were washed and made into fragrant sweet potato starch. This flour can be used to make taro dumplings and fragrant sweet potato noodles, which are packaged in exquisite packaging bags for sale.

After the fragrant sweet potatoes were sorted, Zou Xiyan made full use of online platforms to sell them among relatives and friends, and through relatives and friends continuously expanded her customer base. In just 3 months, she sold more than 15,000 kg of fragrant sweet potatoes, while the other more than 10,000 kg of fragrant sweet potatoes were made into fragrant sweet potato flour and starch for sale. Zou Xiyan said that fragrant sweet potato flour and starch have a long shelf life and are convenient for logistics and express delivery. Through online platforms, the products were sold as far as Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan and other places, becoming excellent gifts for relatives and friends, and achieving relatively good economic benefits. Next year, Zou Xiyan plans to expand the planting scale so that more people can eat the small fragrant sweet potato series of foods.
