A farmer in Yueyang, Hunnan province, sold two tons of sweet potato — his entire crop— within a single day after turning to local media for help.
The farmer, a 74-year-old man surnamed Gan and his wife, from Xiangyin county inYueyang, make their living from growing sweet potatoes. Although the sweet potatoesharvested well this year, selling became difficult, the Hunan-based Sanxiang CityExpress reported.
Gan harvested four tons of sweet potatoes from his field and he was only able to sellabout two tons after using all his market channels.
He decided to turn to the newspaper for help, which wrote a story about his plight andposted it on its micro blog.
The news story later attracted a lot of local attention and Gan was able to sell all hissweet potatoes in a single day.
