The 10th anniversary of the industrialization of Liuzhou river snail rice noodles, or luosifen, was celebrated in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, on Jan 9.
Preliminary forecasts suggest that the total sales revenue of the Liuzhou luosifen industry chain is expected to reach 75.96 billion yuan ($10.36 billion) in 2024. This projection represents a year-on-year increase of 13.4 percent.
