Three years ago, when the villagers of Ssumakussu learnt that the road was coming, they began planting peach and pear, intended as high value cash crops. Last year the trees bore fruit for the first time, but the crop was decimated by a typhoon, which was a big blow to the villagers.
三年前得知道路將要闢建的消息之後，村民開始種植高價經濟作物如水蜜桃、水梨等，去年第一次結果實，卻被颱風損毀，對村民而言是很大的打擊。
