In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, green onions have become an important agricultural product in Shouguang. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although the cultivation of vegetables in Shouguang has expanded, but due to the constraints of various factors such as the system, by the mid-80s, the city only has about 50,000 acres of field vegetables and a small amount of soil temperature greenhouses, has not formed a scale, and the benefits are not high.
