Yunzhou district used to be a poverty-stricken area, where growing daylily had a long history but was not on a large scale.
Now growing daylily is very popular in Yunzhou, with the total area of daylily plantations increasing from less than 16,000 mu (1,067 hectares) before 2010 to the current 150,000 mu (10,000 hectares).
Yunzhou has put in place standardized regulations and procedures governing organic daylily production and launched daylily processing projects and relevant agri-tourism services.
In 2019, daylily generated a total revenue of 65 million yuan (about $9.17 million) in the district.
