The base, with an area of around 666 hectares, is used to grow vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and mustard.

Since its establishment in 2019, the company has taken cultivating advantageous industries as the primary task to promote rural vitalization.

Relying on local planting resources, it has continuously developed and expanded its vegetable supply base to Hong Kong.
