How does specialty agriculture become a golden rice bowl?
"Sanming Practice" has enlightenment
Sanming City, Fujian Province, is located in western and northwestern Fujian, and is the core area of the old revolutionary base and the central Soviet area.
In recent years, Sanming has vigorously developed ecological agriculture and modern agriculture, and has embarked on a path to become rich with characteristic agriculture.
Changkou Village, Jiangle County, surrounded by Jinxi, with bamboos and forests, has beautiful scenery.
Here is rich in ecological resources, with a forest coverage rate of 92%.
For many years, Changkou Village has made a fuss about mountains, water and fields, and has embarked on a path of green development based on local conditions.
This autumn, the 800 acres of navel orange forest in Changkou Village ushered in a bumper harvest.
In the past, a large number of villagers in Changkou Village went out to work, and nearly 300 mu of land in the village was abandoned for many years.
In 2019, the village collectively transferred land and introduced an agricultural company to grow Gannan navel oranges.
Cai Lijuan, the person in charge of Changkou Sharing Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., said that the ecological environment of Changkou Village is very suitable for growing navel oranges. The fog in the early morning in the mountains and the temperature difference between day and night are very beneficial to the sugar conversion of navel oranges.
The 800 mu navel orange forest brings about 1.6 million yuan in rental income to the village every year.
In addition, villagers can also work as navel orange planting workers in front of their homes.
Changkou Village Party Secretary Zhang Linshun said, “In 2019, Changkou Village’s fiscal revenue was 1.22 million yuan, and the average annual income per villager reached 23,000 yuan.”
Jianning County, Sanming City, is the country's largest hybrid rice seed production base county.
At present, the county's seed planting area has reached 152,000 mu, with an output of 31,200 tons, and both the area and output account for 10% of the national hybrid rice seeds.
Planting seeds, Jianning planted modernization and planted the road to prosperity.
The Hybrid Rice Seed Industrial Park built in Jianning County is the third in the country and the first national modern agricultural industrial park in Fujian that takes the rice seed industry as its leading industry.
In the park, high-tech and modern seed production can be seen everywhere.
Modernized and industrialized planting has driven 16,500 farmers to develop production and achieved an increase in income of more than 100 million yuan.
Seed producer Lan Yongxian has been planting seeds since 1995.
Speaking of previous hardships, he said with emotion that before 1999, Jianning seed industry had not yet been large-scale, and the seed sales were a big problem. Farmers had to find sales markets on their own.
"When the loss is severe, the family harvests 400 catties of seeds per mu of land, and one catty can only sell for 35 cents."
"Now that we cooperate with seed production companies, after the seeds are selected, they can be purchased by the company. We don't have to worry about the sales problem." Counting the 40 acres of land contracted for circulation, Lan Yongxian has relied on 50 acres of land in recent years. Can earn around 70,000 yuan a year.
Qingliu County has a business card for getting rich-tofu skin.
Qingliu tofu skin has a long history of more than 800 years.
In recent years, Qingliu County has made great efforts in the production of tofu skins and promoted the development of tofu skins as a characteristic agricultural industry.
Lan Aizhen is a leader in the development of tofu skin industry in Songxi Town, Qingliu.
Her Aizhen Tofu Skin Farmers' Professional Cooperative assists poor households in the tofu skin industry by imparting technology, providing funds without mortgage, guarantee, and interest.
Li Jiansheng, a targeted poverty alleviator, said: “In the early stage, I didn’t have enough funds to start up, so I borrowed 40,000 yuan from the cooperative’s mutual assistance platform. I also received training in technology.”
In 2019, the "cooperative + farmer + base + marketing" system established by Aizhen Cooperatives resulted in the cooperative's sales exceeding 37 million yuan and helped all the 92 poor households with registered cards to get rid of poverty.
At present, the annual output of tofu skin in Qingliu County is 6,670 tons, achieving an output value of over 100 million yuan.
The little tofu skin has brought local farmers a golden rice bowl to shake off poverty and become rich.
