a sales network has been set up in a bid to minimize losses.

Vegetables are the main income source for farmers in Wenchuan. Farmers used to be able to earn over 10,000 yuan a year by selling vegetables. But this year, piles of vegetables are rotting in the fields because of impassable roads.

The sales network is being promoted through the Internet and mass media. Contracts have also been signed with Chengdu City and Guangdong Province. Vegetable transporters will receive subsidies of 50 yuan for transferring one ton of vegetables.
