Chinanews.com, Quzhou, July 28 (Zhang Bin, Ge Mingrui, Yao Mushui, Feng Lisha) In the context of Zhejiang's high-quality development and construction of a common prosperity demonstration zone, the province’s agricultural and rural departments have launched relevant action plans, including the implementation of industries to promote common prosperity. Promote agricultural technology and mechanization, and continue to improve agricultural production efficiency.
At present, agricultural development is still facing problems such as low efficiency of traditional agriculture, shortage of rural labor force, and extensive agricultural production.
In this regard, in Lianhua Town, Qujiang District, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, the local area is constantly cultivating "professional farmers" and exploring the "problem-breaking" road of large-scale and intensive development of agriculture.
The new species of "Red Sun" for planting lively won the provincial gold medal
In the Shengshi Lianhua Modern Agricultural Park in Lianhua Town, Qujiang District, the greenhouse covers an area of 1.8 million square meters.
With the help of a group of "professional farmers", the traditional agriculture of "relying on the sky" has changed its old appearance, and new crop varieties and new agricultural technologies have been widely promoted and applied.
The data shows that at present, the average output value per mu of land in the Shengshi Lotus Modern Agricultural Park is more than 20,000 yuan, and the average output value per mu of high-efficiency plots is 100,000 yuan.
The "low-efficiency" agriculture has become an industry that enriches the people here.
"Our orchard has a total area of 150 acres, of which red kiwifruit accounts for 100 acres." Wang Zhaofu, the operator of the "Second Brother" orchard in the Shengshi Lotus Modern Agricultural Park, said that the red kiwifruit he planted won the gold medal of the Zhejiang Agricultural Expo in 2019. This process has quite the meaning of "breaking the boat".

Back in 2014, Wang Zhaofu chose to return to his hometown to run an orchard and become a "professional farmer".
He introduced the "Hongyang" red kiwifruit variety at a high price from other places, one of which is 100 mu.
Prior to this, local people tried to introduce red kiwifruit in a small area, but they all failed. This also made red kiwifruit "not alive" in the local "bad reviews."
In order to "plant alive" red kiwifruit, Wang Zhaofu learned a lot of relevant materials and learned that soil conditions are the key factor in the process of kiwifruit planting.
In response, he carried out soil improvement "at no cost"-a composting plant dedicated to the production of high-quality organic fertilizer for kiwis was built.
Facts have proved that Wang Zhaofu has found the right trick to grow red kiwi fruit.
The "red sun" harvest in the greenhouse also washed away the "wrongfulness" of the red kiwi.
"The yield of kiwifruit per mu in our orchard can reach 3,500 jin, and the annual output value of the entire orchard is about 3.5 million yuan." Wang Zhaofu said.
Technology helps blueberry "produce two births a year"
Also in the Shengshi Lianhua Modern Agricultural Park, by relying on intelligent technology to improve agricultural management and output efficiency, the blueberry planting base of Zhejiang Hongyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. achieves "two births per year" of blueberries.
In 2013, when Zhang Xiqun, the person in charge of the company, became a "professional farmer" in Lianhua Town, the question of "hundreds of acres of wasteland, what can be planted to produce benefits" made him think for a long time.
After full market research and expert argumentation, Zhang Xiqun chose to introduce blueberries that were rarely grown in southern China at that time.
Today, Zhang Xiqun’s blueberry base has an annual output of about 100,000 kilograms and an annual income of more than 3 million yuan.
In this base, "modern agriculture is inseparable from science and technology" is fully explained: the drip irrigation system has been replaced by an integrated system of water and fertilizer, and the more advanced "black technology" here is that under natural growth conditions, blueberries can only be produced a year. The one-season restriction is "upgraded" to two seasons a year.
Zhang Xiqun said that the secret lies in changing varieties, soilless cultivation, and artificial lighting.
Walk into the newly built greenhouse covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters and a total investment of nearly 5 million yuan. The new blueberry seedlings are planted on a sterile substrate, and the intelligent management system automatically fertilizes 12 times a day, with precise fertilization each time To 6 drops of water.
At the same time, through the full-spectrum light supplement facility, the new greenhouse can also artificially supplement light in rainy days and night scenes to promote blueberry photosynthesis.
"Although this project has a large investment, after it is put into use, the field management costs can be greatly reduced." Zhang Xiqun said that this 10,000-square-meter greenhouse requires only one manager.
"Blueberries produce two babies a year. In theory, the unit output can be increased by 50% to 100%, and the marketing season can be staggered to increase the sales price and output efficiency of blueberries."
Moupian retail platform lays out a "new position" for agricultural product sales
Chen Jianhai Family Farm, located in the Shengshi Lianhua Modern Agricultural Park, is a guarantee vegetable base in Quzhou, covering an area of 280 acres with a complete range of fruits and vegetables.
According to statistics, the base's total annual income (including distribution) is nearly 9 million yuan.
“Many new varieties of fruits and vegetables that have been successfully trial-planted in the base have been promoted in Quzhou and even Zhejiang Province.” The farm owner Chen Jianhai introduced that nearly 8 years ago, he began to cooperate with the Quzhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences to conduct experiments and demonstrations of new varieties. After success, planting will be promoted in the base.
"I want to build a gathering platform for local high-quality agricultural products." Chen Jianhai said frankly that the identity of a "professional farmer" makes him care about production as well as the market.
Recently, the base has registered relevant company entities, and a WeChat applet for the retail system of an online mall has also been developed.
According to Chen Jianhai's vision, through the agricultural product retail platform, the "main business" of the base will gradually shift from wholesale to retail.
"This will not only increase the output efficiency of the base, but also make it easier for locals to buy high-quality agricultural products."
At the same time, in order to ensure that production capacity can keep up with sales after the platform goes online, a production building with a total investment of more than 3 million yuan and a construction area of more than 1,000 square meters in Chen Jianhai's base has been completed and is expected to be put into use at the end of August this year.
The functional facilities of the production house include fresh-keeping warehouse, vegetable cleaning and packaging line, agricultural product direct seeding room, agricultural product popularization area, etc. The daily processing capacity of vegetables and fruits can reach 10,000 kg.
"Our agricultural product retail platform not only sells our own products, but also involves the surrounding production bases." Chen Jianhai said that at present, the online shopping mall retail system has entered the review stage of the social media platform and will be operational after the review is passed. .
At that time, the platform will further complement the local agricultural production and sales industrial chain, making agriculture more prosperous.
By focusing on technology improvement and market orientation, Quzhou District, Quzhou City, is constantly cultivating "professional farmers" who love agriculture, understand technology, and are good at business, and adopt good seed and good methods for modern agricultural production to achieve high land yield, high agricultural efficiency, and farmers A virtuous circle of high income.
