Based in Lulong, Hebei—known as the "Hometown of Sweet Potatoes in China"—Qinhuangdao Tongyou Sweet Potato Industry Co., Ltd. leverages local sweet potato resources to continuously expand its product line. The company offers a variety of packaged products in different thicknesses and sizes, catering to diverse needs ranging from home cooking and restaurants to quick meals and bulk purchasing.
In the past, many vermicelli manufacturers offered limited choices, often leaving consumers with portions that didn't match their needs or thicknesses that didn't suit their dishes. To address these issues, Qinhuangdao Tongyou Sweet Potato Industry has refined its product structure.
The vermicelli comes in two varieties: thin and thick. Thin vermicelli is ideal for dishes like hot and sour glass noodles, cold salads, or soups; it cooks quickly and absorbs flavors rapidly. Thick vermicelli offers superior resilience, making it perfect for dishes requiring long cooking times—such as hot pot, stews, and braised dishes—as it holds its shape and does not cloud the broth even after prolonged boiling.
Packaging options range from small to large sizes. Small packs (170g, 200g, 500g) are conveniently sized for individuals or small families and are easy to carry; the smaller portions also minimize the risk of leftover noodles absorbing moisture after opening. Large packs (750g and up) cater to large families, restaurants, canteens, and wholesalers, reducing the frequency of restocking and meeting commercial inventory needs. With flexible combinations of thicknesses and packaging sizes, both consumers and commercial buyers can select the product that best fits their specific requirements.
Located in Lulong County, the company produces "Lulong Vermicelli"—a recognized Geographical Indication (GI) product. Holding the official GI production certification, the company has specialized in deep-processing sweet potatoes for years. Its factory boasts an annual output of 6,000 tons, with multiple production lines capable of simultaneously manufacturing various specifications to ensure a stable supply of all product types. Processes such as raw material inspection, starch processing, vermicelli forming, drying, and packaging are all carried out within the factory. Whether the vermicelli is thick or thin, or the packaging large or small, uniform quality control standards are applied across the board. The product features a translucent appearance and a firm, chewy texture after cooking, with consistent quality maintained across all specifications. Today, these diverse sweet potato vermicelli products are sold across China and exported to overseas markets, earning recognition from buyers both at home and abroad.
The sweet potato processing industry is shifting from offering a limited range of products toward a refined, demand-aligned model. When purchasing vermicelli, consumers are increasingly considering not just the product itself, but also whether the specifications suit their specific cooking needs.
Qinhuangdao Tongyou Potato Industry’s diverse product lineup aligns with current market trends. Suitable vermicelli products are available for a wide range of needs—from single-serving meals and daily cooking for a family of three to restaurant inventory, gift purchases, and bulk procurement. Moving forward, the company will continue to gather market feedback and adjust product categories and packaging specifications to provide an even wider array of sweet potato products to domestic and international customers.
