These cabbages will be sold directly to supermarkets in cities such as Nanjing. The cooperative has more than 200 members and a planting area of more than 3000 mu.

At present, the main registered brand is "Sizhou Green Park". Annual sales are about 8 million yuan. Jiangsu is a developed coastal province with dense rivers and lakes, vast plains and known as the hometown of fish and rice. its grain output exceeds that of Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian and Shanghai combined. The countryside is an important economic growth pole and an important pulling force of social development in Jiangsu Province. Jiangsu attaches great importance to agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and makes a beneficial exploration for building a new type of countryside in China in the future-- a new land of fish and rice. Compared with the traditional "land of fish and rice", today's "land of fish and rice" has taken on many new features. It not only ensures food security and increases farmers' income, but also becomes a new basis for economic development, a new field of employment, a place for the return of migrant workers, an important carrier for the export of new workers, urbanization and the construction of a beautiful China.
