Zhudong Township Agricultural Association Direct Sales Station Introduction
The Zhudong Area Agricultural Association Direct Sales Station refers to a sales point for agricultural products established by the Zhudong Area Agricultural Association in Hsinchu County. It mainly sells local agricultural products, such as rice, fruits, vegetables, and processed foods. Among these, organic rice is an important agricultural product strongly promoted by the Zhudong Township Farmers' Association. The equipment used for rice milling in the Zhudong Soft Bridge Organic Rice facility is top-notch, including seedling equipment, rice transplanters, rice harvesters, rice dryers, and rice milling machines, all dedicated to organic rice production, ensuring there is no mixing with non-organic rice. Due to low investment returns and limited yield, there are very few specialized facilities for organic rice. In the 2004 Organic Rice Production and Marketing Competition, Zhudong Township's organic rice won first place nationwide and was also selected as one of the top ten classic rice varieties in 2011. With just about ten hectares of organic rice, due to its clean and uncontaminated water and careful organic cultivation, it has become a popular and sought-after rice variety in the area.
