A few days ago, in Rendikou Village, Daokoupu Street, Dongchangfu District, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, oil sunflowers entered the full blooming period, and a ridge of oil sunflowers bloomed under the sunlight and entered the harvest season.
Since the beginning of this year, the Party Working Committee and office of Daokoupu Street have taken the opportunity of improving the living environment and combined with the construction of beautiful villages to mobilize villages to use more than 400 mu of idle land such as ditch roadsides and idle home foundations to plant oil sunflowers and develop the "corner economy" according to local conditions. Actively exploring effective ways to increase rural collective income not only realizes the increase of villagers' income and collective efficiency, but also effectively promotes rural revitalization.
Oil sunflower has the characteristics of less planting input, easy management, short growth cycle, stable yield and high economic value, and can increase the income of more than 1,000 yuan per mu compared with planting wheat and corn. The abundant production of oil sunflower will effectively increase the collective economic income of the village, and at the same time attract the villagers of Tangyi Town to learn the planting technology of oil sunflower, so that 100 households in the nearby villages will increase their income.
In addition to increasing the planting area of oil sunflower, the subdistrict office strives to improve the management technology of villagers planting oil sunflower, cultivate the local oil sunflower purchase market, support the oil sunflower processing industry, and enhance the added value of oil sunflower. In addition, the cultivation of oil sunflowers not only produces considerable economic benefits, but also brings fire to rural tourism. In recent days, oil sunflowers have attracted many citizens to come to enjoy the flowers, and have become a "net red" punch card.
In the next step, the Daokoupu Street Office will combine the development of oil sunflower planting with the construction of beautiful villages, continuously promote the upgrading of rural tourism industry, and create a rural pastoral complex with agricultural development, cultural landscape, leisure experience, and home service, etc., to develop modern agriculture, promote urban-rural integration, and promote rural revitalization.
