Among them, the new variety Yulu fragrant pear yields 1,500 kg per mu, with an annual income of 50%. More than ten thousand yuan.
According to Li Ye, the first secretary of Lutijian Village, the villagers used to grow corn and small miscellaneous grains. The planting area was small, the varieties were single, and the villagers had less income.

"Yulu fragrant pears have changed the methods of planting and management of traditional fruit trees. The cultivation methods of fertilization, branching, fruit thinning, and bagging are adopted. The products are very tall and harmless." Li Ye said, Yulu fragrant pears have been widely consumed since they went on the market. People praised it, and began to promote planting in the whole village.
On the same day, in the warehouse of the villager Li Ming, there were boxes of thin-skinned jade fragrant pears neatly placed, "These are all harvested this year, and they have been on sale this autumn and winter." Li Mingda said: "Yulu Fragrant pears are tender and juicy. They can sell for 4 or 5 yuan per catty. This year, they can earn more than 20,000 yuan if they are sold out."
"We currently sell Yulu fragrant pears through multiple channels such as online sales, village assistance sales, customer door-to-door sales, and villagers' own retail sales, mainly to Beijing, Guangzhou, Hebei and other places." Li Ye told reporters.
