These 17.8 tons of zongzi leaves will be shipped to Southeast Asia before the Dragon Boat Festival. According to Zhangjiajie Customs statistics, from January to May this year, the export of mulberry plant zongzi leaves totaled 1.958 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 211%, and sold well in many countries and regions in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
