The article quotes park owner Zhou Yiyuan as saying on October 26 that he had hired ten workers to dig konjac. He estimated that the park would harvest more than 100,000 jin of fresh corms that season and quoted a price of RMB 7 per kilogram. These are historical estimates attributed to the source, not current market data.

The report also projected more than 100,000 jin in saleable corms and revenue above RMB 350,000 for the park. It said the activity involved 90 people from 30 households in Lianchun Village. In a further quotation, Zhou said the park had distributed RMB 200,000 in labor payments to 30 households since spring, with average per-capita income increases of more than RMB 2,200 by early August. These figures are reported claims from 2018.

Wang Xiaobing, deputy director of the Langao County Konjac Industry Development Bureau, described a local approach based on regional production, scale, park development, and standardized cultivation. The article says growers received guidance on variety selection, seed-corm disinfection, cultivation, field management, and pest control.
