[Explanation] In Hukou County, Jiangxi Province, which is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, Nanhu Village, which surrounds the shoreline of 5 kilometers of Poyang Lake, is the largest fishing village in the area. There are 222 fishermen among the 2056 people in the village.

  Starting from January 1 this year, the Jiangxi section of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake have been banned for 10 years. It has been nearly four months now, and the fishermen along the river and the lake have paid attention to the situation of land conversion.

  The reporter learned in the interview that Nanhu Village established a specialized agricultural cooperative to transfer 500 acres of land, develop special planting industries, retreat fishermen to claim seedlings in the cooperative, conduct field management of the claimed responsibility field, and participate in the dividend of the responsibility field.

  Pan Haomu has been asking for life in Poyang Lake for more than 40 years. He was the first retired fisherman to claim a responsible field in a cooperative.

  We do n’t want to pay for fertilizer money or sapling money. We do n’t need to manage the land. As long as we manage it well, we do it well. If the cooperative has a harvest, it is divided into 50%.

  [Commentary] According to Jiang Ping, secretary of the Nanhu Village branch, the fishermen who retired to participate in field management, the higher the output of the industrial base, the labor cost of the cooperative has also been greatly reduced, and the profit of the cooperative can be basically the same as before the claim. But the most important thing is to solve the worries of the fishermen.

  This approach also reduces the risk of fishermen investing and gives them confidence in starting a business.

  【Explanation】 In addition to claiming responsibility fields, the village also arranges temporary positions for the fishermen to retreat. For example, arrange to return the fishermen to the ponds belonging to the village collective industry to catch fresh fish and send them to the market. In just one morning, each fisherman received more than 100 yuan in wages.

  Planting trees, cultivating saplings, etc., may be able to work for 20 days a month for a hundred dollars.

  [Explanation] Like Nanhu Village, on the basis of implementing the inclusive policy of returning fishermen, Hukou County also finds out the needs of fishermen in various fishing villages for conversion to shore, relying on local mountain, land, forest and lake resources 1. Formulate entrepreneurship and employment programs to help retreat fishermen to achieve long-term benefits.
