Her sweet potato business has already solved the employment of more than 600 people in the surrounding area, and people kindly call her "Sweet Potato Girl".

At the same time, she is also actively connecting with scientific research units inside and outside the province, constantly researching and developing new varieties, improving the sweet potato industry chain, and allowing Anyue local potato products to go out of Sichuan and to the whole country.
"Now my sweet potatoes have been sold to Russia, Dubai, France, and South Korea." Huang Xiaoyan proudly said that the sweet potatoes produced have no worries about sales. Every year, customers place orders in advance, and she decides the planting area according to the order.
Now she is expanding the scale of planting and building supporting processing plants.
"My goal is to reach 2 billion yuan in output value by 2025."
In 2020, "Sweet Potato Girl" Huang Xiaoyan won the Gold Award for Rural Talents, and the sweet potato industry contributed a lot.
"Now Sichuan’s hometown business environment is very good." Huang Xiaoyan said, "Government departments have various policies to support. Holding job fairs, and even opening job fairs to our doorstep, has brought us great convenience."

Little sweet potatoes will be useful in rural revitalization.
"Sweet Potato Girl" Huang Xiaoyan not only provided the villagers with product outlets and provided employment channels for their hometowns, but also helped several poor students.

"The Sichuan Migrant Workers' Re-creation Project has high economic capacity and social value. All the projects meet the requirements of the competition. It has a demonstrative effect on the employment and entrepreneurship of local migrant workers. The project management model has high clarity and future development can be expected."
