With the Covid-19 pandemic driving up the cost of produce from the nearby Chinese mainland, Hong Kong’s small community of organic vegetable farmers has seen business boom. Since February 2020, profits have doubled for the Mapopo Community Farm located in the town of Fanling in Hong Kong’s New Territories. One of the farmers says the coronavirus crisis has underscored the need for Hong Kong to become more self-sufficient when it comes to food.The city currently imports more than 90 per cent of its vegetables from mainland China.(Photo: Dickson Lee)
