(Walking to the grassroots level in the Spring Festival) The development of characteristic agriculture in Jimsar County, Xinjiang "activates" the new potential of the countryside

　　China News Service, Urumqi, February 12 (Tao Shuanke) As the 15th day of the first lunar month approached, in the early morning of the 12th, Wang Mingde, a villager in Quanshuidi Village, Dayou Town, Jimusar County, Xinjiang, was picking the third crop of ginseng fruits in his home greenhouse, ready to be packed and sent to Urumqi.

　　Wang Mingde told a reporter from Chinanews.com: "In June last year, ginseng fruit cultivation technology was introduced from Minqin County, Gansu Province. A total of 4,600 seedlings were introduced and 1.2 mu of land was planted. So far, three crops have been picked, and a total of nearly 4 tons have been sold. Nearly 50,000 yuan.”

　　Ginseng fruit is the first trial planting in Jimsar County.

"The key point is that the climate in our place is relatively suitable. It is a bit warm in winter and cool in summer. The ginseng fruit grows well, the fruit is even, and the taste is good."

　　Because it was a trial planting, Wang Mingde was also very worried about planting ginseng fruit at the beginning and was afraid of failure.

"At first, my family was very opposed to it, because it was a fruit from the south. We have never planted it here. We were afraid that the planting would not be successful. Who would have guessed that after planting it, the seedlings will grow very well, flourish, and bear a lot of fruit. These few days far and near The neighbors all come to visit me, and they all want to plan to plant next year.”

　　Although it is the first year to plant ginseng fruit, for Wang Mingde, this is the economic crop with the best income for more than ten years for him to grow fruit and vegetable greenhouses.

"This year, the ginseng fruit has been picked five times in this greenhouse, and its net income is estimated to be around 30,000 yuan. It can be said that the prospects are very broad. It is planned to plant another 30 greenhouses in the spring of this year. More local villagers will be encouraged to learn experience, manage, work, and become rich. "Wang Mingde said.

　　Ma Zhiqiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and mayor of Dayou Town, Jimsar County, Xinjiang, said: "Dayou Town takes the revitalization of idle greenhouses as a breakthrough, solidly promotes the construction of characteristic modern agriculture, and realizes the industrial development of turning waste into treasure, making the best use of materials, and making the best use of talents. The road has found a new way for the economic development of the mountainous area and opened up a new way for increasing the income of farmers. This year, our town will continue to actively attract investment, carry out project docking with the Nanshan Cream and Strawberry Planting Base in Urumqi, and strive to grow greenhouse cream in Dayou Town. At the same time, various parties strive for national projects, and by revitalizing the greenhouses, more farmers can benefit from the development of characteristic agriculture.”

　　A reporter from Chinanews.com learned that there are currently more than 500 greenhouses in Dayou Town, Jimsar County, and characteristic agriculture has propped up half of the country's prosperity for the masses.

In recent years, the town has given full play to its geographical resource advantages and vigorously developed characteristic agriculture such as facility fruit and vegetable planting, which has achieved significant economic benefits and "activated" new potential for rural development.

　　The industry leads the revitalization of the countryside. Sun Xueli, a big greenhouse grower of "Snow Lotus Mushroom" less than 3 kilometers away from Wang Mingde, has caught up with the peak season of Spring Festival sales, and is even more busy and happy.

　　This year, he has planted 7 greenhouses, and each greenhouse picks 4 crops. The annual net income of each greenhouse is more than 100,000 yuan.

"Snow lotus mushrooms have only been planted here in the past two years. The market sales are fast and the output is high. This year, we plan to add more than ten greenhouses." Sun Xueli said.

　　The rapid development of characteristic agriculture has not only realized the increase of agricultural efficiency, the increase of farmers' income, and the new bright spot of rural revitalization.

Entering Dayou Town, the greenhouses are arranged as a whole, row upon row, and most of the villagers have built new houses with brick and concrete structures.

　　Jimsar County is located at the eastern end of the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang and on the southeastern edge of the Junggar Basin.
