Farmers grow a new variety of wood ear mushroom: what are the profit prospects?

It is nothing new for farmers to grow crops or raise livestock. Some grow Chinese medicinal herbs, others do specialty farming. People go into all kinds of industries, some succeed, some are still working hard, and of course some fail. As for this snow-white, jade-like thing in the photo, I wonder if everyone recognizes it. Its shape is similar to that of black wood ear, only its color is pure white. This is the new wood ear variety grown by farmer Zhang Yimin - white wood ear.

White wood ear is a new variety cultivated by Chinese agricultural scientists. It is white in color, crystal clear, flawless as white jade, and a feast for the eyes. It is rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. Wood ear has been a fine health food since ancient times, containing large amounts of minerals needed by the human body. White wood ear is especially rich in 17 of the 20 amino acids the human body needs! It helps enrich the blood, dissolve stones, and clear out miscellaneous matter in the stomach and intestines. It is an ideal health food for modern people.

Zhang Yimin began growing wood ear at the age of thirty, and previously mainly grew black wood ear. Because of his own business, he paid special attention to information and technology related to the wood ear industry. In 2010, he came into contact with and learned about white wood ear cultivation, and began growing it on an experimental basis. Perhaps due to a lack of technical skill, the first two years were unsuccessful, but through his persistence, in 2013 Zhang Yimin's white wood ear finally reached the market.

Zhang Yimin told us: the functional properties of white wood ear are far higher than those of black wood ear, and its yield is 2 times that of black wood ear. In the future, white wood ear will certainly replace black wood ear. Because there are currently few growers, the market price is as high as 300 yuan per kilogram, and the wholesale price sometimes reaches 180 yuan per kilogram. At present, Zhang Yimin's annual output of white wood ear reaches more than 8,000 jin, with a net profit of more than 200,000 yuan.
