  • Feature: Covid stirs up fresh demand for veggies

While most industries have been suffering under the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, organic farmer Wong Yu-wing is busier now than he’s ever been.

His farm delivers fresh local vegetables to consumers across the city, and there has been a sharp surge in demand, as more and more people take to cooking for themselves at home as opposed to eating out all the time.

Budding home chef Virginia Wong is among those who don’t mind paying extra for locally-grown vegetables, saying they’re sure to be pesticide-free, fresh, and delicious.

RTHK’s Maggie Ho spoke to them to find out more about this new appetite for local produce.
