Farmers grasp the spring plowing during the agricultural season, and make every effort to develop production to ensure "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets."

However, in mid-March each year, it is the season when winter and spring vegetables and summer and autumn vegetables are stubble. Vegetable production will decrease and enter the off-season.

So what's the situation this year?

Is the supply of vegetables guaranteed?

  Guangdong is an important winter and spring vegetable production area in my country.

The reporter came to Qingyuan, Shaoguan and other vegetable planting bases to see that land vegetables are being harvested in large quantities.

  The reporter learned from the vegetable planting base that the local area seized the favorable opportunity for vegetable production in the off-season, and adopted methods such as replanting and expanding, rushing to harvest and rush to increase vegetable production capacity as much as possible and shorten the supply cycle.

At the same time, it has also actively introduced new high-quality varieties such as fruit cucumber, sweet taro and winter melon, tomatoes, etc., to enrich the vegetable category while ensuring the constant supply of vegetables.

Shen Liping, the person in charge of the vegetable planting base in Jiangtou Village, Dongtang Town, Renhua County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province:

There are still ten days left to pick fruits and cucumbers, while taro and winter melon are growing seedlings, and it may take more than 20 days to plant them.

  Huai'an, Jiangsu is an important facility vegetable production area in my country.

During the interview, the reporter learned that in order to ensure a stable supply of vegetables, the local government has plans to market the vegetables in batches at different peaks.

Min Hongxing, director of the Agricultural Extension Center of Qingjiangpu District, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province:

Mainly through the introduction of new varieties, airborne seedlings and the application of drip irrigation technology, the production of our red pepper can continue to grow steadily.

It is generally maintained after the Spring Festival and can continue to be supplied for about two months.

  In order to ensure the supply of vegetables, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs gave early guidance to the main winter and spring vegetable production areas in 7 southern provinces and 3 northern provinces to strengthen production, and the area of ​​vegetables on the ground increased steadily.

At present, the country’s vegetable farming area is more than 68 million mu, which is higher than the level of the same period last year.

Li Zengyu, Director of the Economics and Work Department of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:

It is the off-season for vegetable supply, but this year, various places have started early and the measures are very practical. The number of centralized seedlings is sufficient, and the progress of planting and planting is relatively fast, which is guaranteed. The production and supply of vegetables is stable, and the off-season is not weak.

Sufficient supply of vegetables is unlikely to rise sharply

  During the interview, the reporter found that due to the sufficient supply of the total amount of vegetables, prices have dropped seasonally.

  The South Gate Vegetable Market in Jurong, Jiangsu is the largest vegetable market in the area. The reporter learned during the interview that as the temperature rises, the variety and quantity of vegetables here are increasing.

The prices of higher-priced dishes during the Spring Festival have dropped a lot recently.

Vegetable stall owner

at

Nanmen Vegetable Farm in Jurong City, Jiangsu Province:

Green peppers used to sell for at least 12 yuan per catty, but now they sell for as high as 10 yuan, and green peppers that are almost sold for 8 yuan.

Other vegetables, especially wormwood, have dropped a lot in the past few days.

  Monitoring by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs showed that in February of this year, due to the impact of holiday consumption, vegetable prices rose seasonally before the Spring Festival, up 5.8% year-on-year and 2.7% month-on-month.

However, after the Spring Festival, vegetable prices continued to decline. In the last week of February, the national average wholesale vegetable price fell 10.4% month-on-month and 1.6% year-on-year.

At present, vegetable prices have fallen for four consecutive weeks.

  The person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that vegetable production is a cyclical advancement of one crop and one crop.

From November to March of the following year, the supply of vegetables on the market is mainly based on southern land vegetables such as Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, and northern facility vegetables.

Entering April, as the temperature picked up, vegetables all over the country began to go on the market in large quantities.

Although vegetables are undergoing stubble in the near future, due to sufficient production and guaranteed market supply, it is unlikely that vegetable prices will rise sharply.

Li Zengyu, Director of the Economics and

Production

Division of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: The

weekly harvest output exceeds 12 million tons, and the average person has two and a half catties of vegetables per day, which can ensure that the people have vegetables to eat.

Optimizing the quality of vegetable production areas in my country

  The reporter learned that through years of continuous regional structural adjustment and variety quality improvement, my country's vegetable production layout has been continuously optimized and the quality is guaranteed.

  After years of development, my country has formed six dominant regions of winter and spring vegetables in the southern and southwestern hot regions, winter and spring vegetables in the Yangtze River valley, summer and autumn vegetables in the Loess Plateau, summer and autumn vegetables in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, summer and autumn vegetables in the northern high latitudes, Huanghuaihai and Bohai Rim facilities.

The six dominant regions produce vegetables one crop at a time, and ensure the country's annual vegetable supply through methods such as transportation of vegetables from the south to the north and facility vegetables.

  During the interview, the reporter found that many vegetable production bases continue to introduce new varieties and expand vegetable categories.

There are also many ways to extend the production period of vegetables through scientific and technological means.

Shang Wanping, the person in charge of Wanping Vegetable Planting Base in Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province:

We use three-layer membrane insulation technology to greatly delay the production period of our red peppers.

One of our bases can supply 3 tons of red peppers to the market every day.

  During the interview, the reporter also found that many vegetable production bases pay more attention to the quality and safety of vegetables while ensuring abundant varieties and sufficient quantities.

  Guangdong fresh vegetables are mainly supplied to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places.

In order to ensure the quality and safety of vegetables, the local government has established an agricultural product testing agency to create a monitoring system covering all aspects of agricultural products to ensure that each batch of vegetables passes the pesticide residue test before being circulated and listed.

Liu Shunzi, director of the Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Supervision and Inspection Center of Qingyuan City, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province:

We carry out an inspection system for agricultural product manufacturers.

The company's agricultural products can only go on the market if they pass our inspection and bring our inspection report.

  According to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in recent years, the sown area of ​​vegetables in my country has stabilized at more than 300 million mu, with a total output of more than 700 million tons, and the regional layout has been more optimized, enabling a balanced supply of annual production.

At the same time, vigorously promote green production methods to improve the quality of vegetables.

Li Zengyu, Director of the Economics and Operations Division of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:

There are more varieties of varieties, with more than 150 varieties of vegetables produced

throughout the

year.

A batch of high-quality, high-efficiency, natural-saving, and ecologically-environmental green production technology models have been integrated and promoted. The use of fertilizers and pesticides has been significantly reduced, and the overall quality is safe and stable.

Take multiple measures to promote a stable supply of vegetables

  It’s still about half a month before vegetables from all over the country are put on the market. How to ensure the stable production of vegetables during this period?

  Right now, it is the time when large-scale vegetable seedlings are grown and transplanted, and cold resistance is rapidly declining.

The Meteorological Department predicts that there will be three cold air activities in March, and the probability of freezing damage to vegetable seedlings in the "falling spring" has increased significantly.

  At the vegetable production base in Tongxin Village, Wangcang County, Sichuan Province, the reporter saw that in order to cope with the recent large temperature difference between day and night and cold wave weather, local vegetable farmers have built a heat preservation shed in the vegetable shed, and also added a layer at the door of the shed. Insulation cotton.

Wang Yuanhong, person in charge of the vegetable base in Tongxin Village, Baishui Town, Wangcang County, Sichuan Province:

During this period, our greenhouses mainly adopted the greenhouse-in-the-shed technology. The temperature was controlled above 15 degrees, which can effectively resist the cold spring and ensure its normal growth.

  In response to the possible cold wave, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs deployed relevant precautions as early as early March.

Agricultural technicians in vegetable production areas have also strengthened relevant technical guidance to ensure stable vegetable production.

  The latest agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the stubble stubble of winter and spring vegetables and summer and autumn vegetables is progressing smoothly this year, and the planting area remains stable.
