Print Edition
Farmers in suburban Songjiang District showed and shared their crops, livestock as well as the joy of harvest as they celebrated the fourth Chinese Farmers鈥 Harvest Festival yesterday.
Exhibitions, live broadcast and a farmer market featuring seasonal fruits, vegetables, rice, and other agricultural products as well as historical materials, were held at Songjiang鈥檚 Yun Jian Granary Cultural and Creative Park to celebrate the symbiotic relationship between farms and the natural world.
A large number of precious historical materials and objects showing the historical evolution of Songjiang鈥檚 agricultural development over the past century were displayed at the exhibition.
Farmers from various cooperatives presented and sold their products at the bazaar.
Songjiang Rice, a nationally known rice variety, was a favorite. The history of rice breeding in Songjiang dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), according to historical records.
Hairy crabs were also displayed at a booth. 鈥淥ur hairy crabs were sold out as soon as they hit the market before the Mid-Autumn Festival,鈥 said a woman staff member of a Songjiang-based crab farm. 鈥淕ood hairy crabs should be fresh, sweet and mellow. Now they can only be savored to assuage food cravings. It is not yet the best season for them.鈥
She said that the best season for hairy crabs is expected to be later in October (female crabs) and November (male crabs). Prices of each crab ranged from 80 yuan (US$12.37) to 500 yuan according to their condition and quality.
The Chinese Farmers鈥 Harvest Festival was launched in 2018.
