Planting Black Diamond Potatoes Helps Farmers Increase Income and Get Rich

Black potatoes, also known as black diamond potatoes, are rich in anthocyanins. On April 18, in Tuyao Village, Changshanzi Town, Midong District, the villagers were planting black diamond potatoes along the ridges that had already been turned over. The field was very busy.

Village Wei Yuxin said: “The price of black King Kong potatoes is higher than that of ordinary potatoes, and the planting method is the same as ordinary potatoes. It belongs to extensive management, which is very worry-free.”

The work team of Midong District Disciplinary Committee and Supervision Committee stationed in Tuyao Village, Changshanzi Town, Midong District introduced black diamond potatoes and tested them in the village.

The leader of the working team in the village, Ayiheng, said to Shanhan: “Use the stubble period to let the villagers try to plant some new varieties, and at the same time invite agricultural experts to guide the villagers in scientific planting. The yield and benefits are good, and the planting area will be increased next year.”
