Economic Daily-China Economic Net Wuhan, April 3 (Reporter Dong Qingsen, Wen Jicong) On the afternoon of April 3, Hubei Province held a press conference to introduce the overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and agricultural production, and promote the production and sales of agricultural products in the province. Zhang Guihua, a first-level inspector of the Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that due to the double squeezing of lower consumption in the province and fewer orders outside the province, there are problems such as "pig pressing fences, poultry pressing sheds, fish pressing ponds, vegetable pressing fields", The contradiction between production and sales is mainly concentrated on important agricultural products such as spring tea, crayfish and mushrooms. With the care and coordination of the Central Steering Group, Hubei issued policies and measures in a timely manner. Market players and online platforms worked together. Brother provinces and cities reached out to help. The media appealed for Hubei ’s agricultural products. The current agricultural product backlog has been effectively alleviated. Sales have made positive progress.

Data show that on April 2nd, the province sold 2,139 tons of dry spring tea with sales of 272 million yuan; sold nearly 6,000 tons of crayfish with sales of 160 million yuan; sold 1,033 tons of mushrooms with sales of 30.88 million yuan.

The output of crayfish in Jianli County reached 150,000 tons last year, but the price of crayfish this year is more than 30% lower than the same period last year. How to help farmers out of difficulties? In order to reduce the impact of the epidemic, Jianli County adopted the measures of widening sales channels, strengthening technical guidance, and increasing financial support to promote the development of the crayfish industry.

Yingshan has 260,000 mu of tea gardens, with an annual output of 27,000 tons of dry tea. Tian Hongguang, deputy secretary of the Yingshan County Party Committee and county head, said that this year, the spring tea in Yingshan County will be mined from March 18, and 170,000 mu has been mined. It has entered the peak of listing around the Qingming Festival. As of April 2, about 780 tons of spring famous tea have been produced and 280 tons have been sold. The product price has dropped slightly compared with the same period last year. "Despite being affected by the epidemic, tea production management has not been relaxed for a moment, and the quality of pure, non-polluting tea has not changed." Tian Hongguang said.

Sui County is an important mushroom production area in China. According to Chen Xingwang, secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, at present, more than 40 mushroom production enterprises, 85 plantation cooperatives and the majority of mushroom farmers in the county have resumed production, completed more than 51 million bags of spring mushrooms, and picked 300 autumn mushrooms. Many tons. Affected by the epidemic, the production and sales of shiitake mushrooms are currently facing difficulties such as product backlogs, price declines and capital turnover. It is necessary to expand the domestic consumer market as soon as possible and expand domestic consumer demand.

To help sales of important agricultural products in the current season, Hubei focuses on tapping the potential and expanding the space around the role of the government and the market. Zhang Guihua said that in terms of the government, it is mainly to make full use of the support policies that have been introduced. In terms of the market, we will focus on the three aspects of “integration of the province and outside the province, integration of the online and offline, and the combination of the enterprise and the farmer household” to continuously release the consumption space in the province and strive to expand the sales channels outside the province. At the same time, give full play to the advantages of leading agricultural enterprises and guide them to establish closer production and marketing cooperation mechanisms and models with small farmers.

What should the farmers' market do to ensure safety and health? Li Yang, deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that it is important to do a good job in three areas. First, do a good job in building hardware standards for farmers' markets. To have good ventilation and water supply and drainage systems, the vegetable sales area should have a stall and a trash can, the aquatic product sales area must have a water retaining tank, and the cooked food sales area must be protected against flies, mice and dust. " For "three-prevention" facilities, the poultry sales area should be relatively independent, and the distance from other business areas should not be less than 5 meters. The second is to do the daily cleaning and disinfection of the market. Clean and disinfect one day, one big cleaning every week, and one thorough cleaning every month. The third is to prevent harmful organisms such as mice and flies. Place poison rat houses in and around the market as required, check the water accumulation in the flower shops in the market, reduce the breeding environment of mosquitoes, clean up the garbage every day, and reduce the density of flies and cockroaches.
