Jianli county had been the largest producer of the crustacean among all counties in China for the previous seven consecutive years, said the government, adding that its crayfish is available across China and even the world.

During the 2018 World Cup, crayfish from the county were transported to Russia during the tournament period and snapped up quickly by soccer fans.

Meanwhile, the county is also a major rice producer, with more than 1.28 million metric tons of rice produced in 2018, according to the government.

An increase in crayfish production means more farmland would be used to raise the crustacean. But now crayfish and rice can perfectly coexist.
