This year, the company has received many orders from abroad and more than 100 staffers are producing at full capacity. It is expected to produce and sell 5,000 tons of rakkyo in the first quarter, an increase of 15% over the same period last year.

They are to be sold to Japan, South Korea, Singapore and many other countries. (Photo/Tian Chao, Hunan Daily)
