莲藕产业地图：种出一片新天地 莲藕产业大有作为
洪湖莲藕：湖北绿色发展的靓丽名片
Honghu Lotus Root: A Shining Star of Hubei's Green Development
洪湖，这颗镶嵌在江汉平原上的璀璨明珠，2008年列入"国际重要湿地"，也是我国国家级自然保护区。洪湖属于云梦泽低洼地势，在地质反复演变中，大量的水生动植物沉积，产生富含有机质和矿物质的腐殖层，形成当地特有的肥沃土壤。
Honghu, a sparkling pearl embedded in the Jianghan Plain, was listed as an "Internationally Important Wetland" in 2008 and is also a national nature reserve in China. Located in the low-lying terrain of Yunmengze, the repeated geological evolution has deposited large amounts of aquatic plants and animals, creating a humus layer rich in organic matter and minerals, forming the unique fertile soil of the region.
莲藕产业现状与挑战
Current Status and Challenges of Lotus Root Industry
近年来，在竞争压力大、缺乏宣传和销路的情况下，各地莲藕都出现了滞销困境，亏损严重。王文娟从广州回到家乡后，通过互联网将家乡优质的洪湖莲藕及莲子销往全国，并推出了洪湖当地特有的青泥巴莲藕。
In recent years, due to intense competition, lack of promotion and sales channels, lotus root products have faced difficulties in sales across various regions, resulting in significant losses. After returning to her hometown from Guangzhou, Wang Wenjuan sold high-quality Honghu lotus roots and lotus seeds nationwide through the internet, introducing the unique "Qingniba" lotus root from Honghu.

2017年，王文娟由央视7套《食尚大转盘》栏目以及该节目产地合作伙伴一亩田农产品电商平台评选为全国"食尚之星"。在"食尚年货节"节目中，现场采购商表示将愿意帮她将洪湖'青泥巴'打造成高端农业品牌。
In 2017, Wang Wenjuan was selected as the national "Food Fashion Star" by CCTV-7's "Food Fashion Wheel" program and its partner, the agricultural e-commerce platform Yimutian. During the "Food Fashion New Year Festival" program, on-site buyers expressed their willingness to help her establish Honghu's "Qingniba" as a premium agricultural brand.
