On the morning of August 8, a shipment of 6,186 cans of winter bamboo shoots, weighing over 20 tons in total, departed from Ningbo, Zhejiang, bound for Kobe, Japan. This marks the first time that bamboo shoot products from Wencheng, Wenzhou—a well-known hometown for overseas Chinese—have been exported.

The winter bamboo shoots in these cans come from Tonglingshan Town in Wencheng. Due to its favorable altitude and climate, the town boasts abundant bamboo forests, producing tender and delicious bamboo shoots, a rare and exquisite delicacy.

Before export, the bamboo shoots stored in the Tonglingshan Town Shimen Highland Workshop underwent several processes, including trimming, steaming, cleaning, canning, sealing, and sterilizing. These small winter bamboo shoots were transformed into delicious canned bamboo shoots, ready to become a delicacy on dining tables abroad.

Zheng Shizhong, the head of the Shimen Highland Workshop, stated, "This batch smells particularly fragrant. We strictly control the quality, ensuring that international customers can also enjoy the premium fresh bamboo shoots from Wencheng."

Following this export, the Shimen Highland Workshop will continue production on the next batch of export orders. The workshop has already obtained licenses for the production and export of various agricultural products such as bayberries, black fungus, dried vegetables, and canned fruits, and has been registered as an export food production enterprise.

Additionally, an agricultural company in Wencheng, relying on the Shimen Highland Workshop, is purchasing agricultural products from local farmers. They are exploring a streamlined model for purchasing, sterilizing, preserving, processing, and packaging seasonal highland agricultural products, helping farmers find new ways to increase income and prosperity.

In recent years, Wencheng has been continuously promoting various agricultural products to reach international markets. This effort accelerates their global integration, enhancing the added value of agricultural products, increasing collective village economic income, and expanding new employment opportunities for local farmers.
