As a leading agricultural enterprise, Hetang Impression has opened up 100 acres of land in the park as the planting base of Qiaotou's special product - Dazhou Pueraria Pueraria, and all the soil used is transported from the Dazhou area, which better preserves the trace elements and nutrients required for the growth of Dazhou Pueraria pueraria. Today, after more than two years of cultivation and planting, the current Lotus Pond impression of the continent Pueraria pueraria has been greatly improved in terms of quality and yield compared with the past, and has developed into the largest "Continent Pueraria peraria" planting base in Qiaotou, which is expected to reach more than 30,000 catties this year, with an output value of more than 200,000 yuan.
According to Mr. Mo Canliang, chairman of Hetang Impression, the original intention of planting Dazhou Pueraria is due to his continuous nostalgia, and it is also his enthusiasm and persistence for the bright future of Dazhou Pueraria brand development. The purpose of this event is to focus on the long planting history and diversified food culture of Dazhou Pueraria pueraria, which is of great significance for promoting the deepening development of Qiaotou's all-for-one tourism and the coordinated development of tourism enterprises, and comprehensively enhancing the reputation and influence of Qiaotou Dazhou Pueraria fanzu.
It is hoped that by holding this Dazhou Pueraria Food and Culture Festival, we will deeply excavate, carry forward and inherit the Pueraria culture in Qiaotou, and strive to gradually cultivate the "Dazhou Pueraria Food and Culture Festival" into a large-scale mass cultural brand activity in Qiaotou Town, so that it will become a specific symbol of Qiaotou rural culture.
