(At that time) I may be a novice and I am not very skilled. The annual income is about 50,000 yuan. Compared to working outside, it is a bit flat, but I think this is more satisfying. I am further determined to be a "new farmer". Confidence.

Because agriculture is inseparable from water, after installing some sprinkler irrigation facilities, I feel that some watering costs have been further reduced, so I contracted more than 200 acres of planting on the company’s side, mainly planting some cabbage hearts for Hong Kong bean cups. Crops.
[Explanation] The vegetable industry is an advantageous characteristic industry in Hezhou. Nearly 70% of the vegetables in the city are sold to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Therefore, Hezhou City is also known as the "Vegetable Basket" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Thanks to the geographical advantage, Xie sent the vegetable prices at a good price.
In 2020, he only relied on the Hong Kong Bean Cup (pea sprouts), and his income reached 150,000 yuan.

The reason why we want to further contract (land) for planting is because we have seen that the price of vegetables supplied to Hong Kong is still somewhat advantageous compared to domestic sales. Although some of its quality requirements are relatively strict, we can pass some planting Technological improvement, including further understanding of the habits of crops to improve some of the quality of the crops we planted, to meet the requirements of the port, thereby further increasing economic income.
