Known as "the Land of Fish and Rice", "Ginkgo Town" and "the Town of Aquatic Products", Taizhou is a national key production, processing and export base for grain, cotton, vegetables and aquatic products.

The Heheng green food base, with pollution-free rice as its main product, has been granted the Global 500 Award for Environmental Achievement by the United Nations Environment Programme. What's more, the region's output of dehydrated vegetables, as represented by chives, ranks first in China. To top it off, "Dafozhi" – a brand of Gingko product – was the pollution-free gingko brand that was designated by the World Expo.
