In the past and in 1950s, Hong Kong had not yet developed. There were still farmlands in Sham Shui Po, which is a middel point of Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. There were quite a lot of seeds companies in Sham Shui Po. Once Hong Kong was developed and land was reclaimed from sea, there were fewer farmers in Hong Kong. In 2013, Chan Chun Chiu Seeds Company is the only company selling seeds in Kowloon. In order to generate more income, Chan Chun Chiu Seeds Company also sells some household and food materials, apart from seeds and farm-related items.
Insecticides and other solvents can also be found.
Eggs and flour are also available.
Fertilizer and the traditional large barrels for displaying rice.
As the society is changing with time, some items which were very important in the past become unimportant today. But we have to follow, we cannot always think of the past and stop at a point of the past. To know something and more about the past can definitely benefit us more. This allows us to gather the information for analysis and do better in any future decsion-making, if any.
