[Explanation] Every April, after the Grain Rain season, in the ten thousand acres of bamboo forest in Matai Township, Linxiang District, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, groups of sweet bamboo shoots burst out of the ground one after another. Entering the mountains, picking sweet bamboo shoots, every household is busy.

　　Tangjia Village, Matai Township, is located on the banks of the Lancang River. The light and heat conditions along the river are good, and the climate is foggy and humid, which is suitable for the growth of sweet dragon bamboo.

Since 1998, the villagers of Tangjia Village have been planting sweet dragon bamboo.

Wei Qizhen's family is one of the first farmers in Tangjia Village to plant sweet dragon bamboo. At present, the planting area of ​​her family has grown to more than 10 mu. Last year, the income of sweet bamboo shoots was more than 60,000 yuan.

　　We started to develop the sweet bamboo shoot industry in 2012. It has been a long time. It turned out that there were no human beings one after another. We thought about giving up in the middle, because many elderly people felt that it was not safe to shoot bamboo shoots at night.

Over the past seven or eight years, the government has gradually given support. Now, a boss is attracting investment. Boss Liao (let us) can shoot bamboo shoots during the day and drive many farmers.

From the original several hundred mu to several thousand mu, the output of our bamboo shoots has been increasing and has been increasing.

　　This sweet bamboo shoot in Matai is located on the edge of the Lancang River, and its soil quality causes its appearance and inner quality to be excellent.

As soon as I came, I found out that after tasting it, this bamboo shoot is very different. Later, after passing the test, our sweet bamboo shoot is the only one that does not contain oxalic acid and can be eaten raw. This selling point is very strange.

　　[Explanation] In recent years, with the support of the government, Wei Qizhen took the lead in establishing cooperatives, introducing new varieties, and developing contract agriculture.

Now, more than 280 farmers in Tangjia Village have planted sweet dragon bamboo.

At the same time, the villagers also cooperate with enterprises to invest in the construction of cold storage, and continue to expand and strengthen the bamboo shoot industry.

　　Last year we purchased (purchased) more than 200 tons, and this year we plan to purchase (purchase) about 500 tons. This year, the rain is good, and the output will increase.

Open the scale today, and the price this year is ten yuan a jin.

In the future, I want to drive the villagers in the whole Tangjia Village to develop this sweet bamboo shoot, which will get better and better. We want to process it into a package (gift box) and take it out of other provinces to make this bamboo shoot better and better.

　　A total of 15,000 mu of sweet bamboo shoots are planted in Matai Township, all of which are planted along the Lancang River. Last year, the total output value was 10 million yuan. At present, relying on the cooperation between Shanghai and Yunnan, a total of 5.5 million yuan has been invested to build a sweet bamboo shoot processing factory.

Including cold storage and clear water bamboo shoot production line, it further extends the bamboo industry chain and increases the income of local people.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, an additional 10,000 mu of bamboo forests will be planted, and through the integrated development of the bamboo industry, industrial development will boost rural revitalization.

　　[Explanation] It is reported that Matai Township focuses on green sweet bamboo shoots to create an economic belt along the Lancang River.

At present, the bamboo shoot processing plant has been built, and the next step will be to introduce bamboo shoot deep processing enterprises to further enhance the added value of bamboo shoots and increase the income of village collectives and farmers.
