This year, more than 110 acres of snow peas have been planted. The price is very high this year. It is estimated that the net income of one acre of land can reach two or three thousand yuan, and it can also attract employment and increase income of the surrounding people. It is really a win-win.” said Wu Shengzhong, chairman of the Huangyuan Xiling Planting Professional Cooperative in Qinghai Province on the 10th. .

These workers can pick more than ten baskets a day. Although they are a bit tired, they have a good income. Being closer to home, this kind of good thing that can take care of the family and make money has attracted many migrant workers to return to their hometowns for employment." Wu Shengzhong said.
"We have been very busy these two days. We have more than 30 people picking in the snow peas planting base a day. On the best day, I picked more than 280 catties and earned more than 240 yuan. And I can go home every day for the elderly and children. Cooking is very good. I have been doing it for three years.” Picking worker Dong Wenxiu looked at the basket full of fresh snow peas, his face was full of happiness.

"I came from Lanzhou, Gansu Province to purchase snow peas from the Huangyuan Xilingtai Planting Professional Cooperative. I have been cooperating with the Xilingtai Cooperative for more than three years. Last year's benefits were relatively good. The market value reached 10 yuan per catty. The purchase price for the cooperative The average guarantee is 7 yuan per catty. Due to the high quality and high efficiency of snow peas here, the demand for farmers’ markets such as Zhengzhou, Henan and Xinfadi in Beijing is high. The purchase volume of about 15,000 catties here is still not enough Supply and demand, next year we are also preparing to reach a consensus on cooperation with the Xiling Cooperative to expand the production scale to about 200 mu." said the purchaser Hu Mingming.
