Qingcaitou, the main raw material for pickled mustard, is grown across 180 acres in the county under a "cooperative + base + farmers + enterprise" order-production model. During the peak harvest season, the cooperative uses a combination of manual picking and drone transportation to quickly gather crops, supply the market, and boost farmers' incomes.
