Dahe Network News "Strawberries are ripe and listed during this time, every day tourists drive over to pick strawberries, some directly added WeChat, if it is not convenient to come over, we can pick and deliver." Lately we basically ate and lived in the greenhouse, although a little tired, but very happy. Grower Marginchi said with a smile.
In the middle of winter, in the Guanneng Strawberry Planting Base in Majia Village, Diao Hometown, Zhongmu County, the greenhouses are lined up one after another, the cold wind outside the shed is gusting, and the inside of the shed is warm and comfortable. In the midst of a ridge of emerald green, bright red and delicate strawberries can be seen everywhere. Several villagers were bending over the tender green leaves to carefully select ripe strawberries for WeChat order customers, and in a few moments, the basket in their hands was pointed.
Majia Village was identified as a poor village in 2013, and since the Zhongmu County Forestry Bureau launched the poverty alleviation work in the village in 2015, the village has relied on mushroom cultivation and forestry industry poverty alleviation projects to achieve full poverty alleviation in 2020. However, most of Majia Village has still been mainly growing wheat, peanuts and corn, and the villagers are generally not rich. Zhang Long, the first secretary of the village, looked anxious in his eyes, how can he give full play to the advantage of being close to the village to drive the villagers to get rich?
In order to solve the development problem, Zhang Long led the villagers to visit and investigate the surrounding townships such as Yaojia Town and Hansi Town, looking for a wealth project suitable for Majia Village. After research and demonstration, he found that Majia Village is very suitable for growing strawberries, which is an industry that can drive local farmers to increase their income.
The 51-year-old Ma Jinqi is the leader of majia village to get rich, and he can't stay away because his lover is paralyzed, so he wants to do his own business in his hometown.
In 2020, Majinqi leased 15 acres of land to cultivate strawberry seedlings with villagers, and in 2021, he rented land to build three modern strawberry planting bases. In order to increase revenue, he regularly invites technical experts to carry out technical guidance and seriously study strawberry cultivation. At the beginning of January this year, the strawberry greenhouse achieved a "good start", and each shed is expected to earn more than 30,000 yuan.
"We grow two kinds of strawberries, of which 'Christmas Red' has a sweet taste, and the other is a 'Sui strain' strawberry, which is not only sweet in taste, but also full of milk flavor aftertaste, and there are many customers who buy back." When it comes to the quality of strawberries, Markinchi is proud.
"Affected by the 7.20 rainstorm, many growers' strawberries are not growing well, resulting in high market sales prices, with an average price of 25 yuan to 30 yuan per catty." Our base is strictly in accordance with the scientific management of expert suggestions, the growth has not been affected, and now the sales channels are not worried at all. Marginchi said as he picked strawberries.
Looking at the smiling villagers, Zhang Long felt very pleased, and he strengthened his original intention of staying in the village: "It is particularly important to solve difficult things for the masses and do practical things, and continue to promote rural revitalization and lead the masses to get rich together." ”
"When I was in difficulty, Secretary Zhang led me through the difficulties, and now that our lives are better, we can't forget to pull the fathers and fellow villagers around me!" Markinsch said frankly.
Ma Lixue is a poverty alleviation household in Majia Village, and his wife is disabled, and hospitalization in the past few years has caused a lot of financial burden to the family. "People like me who have no education and are older, it is not easy to find a job, Guanneng Ecological Farm provides me with a job, with an average daily income of 80 yuan, which not only reduces the burden of life, but also does not affect farming." Ma Lixue said gratefully.
According to statistics, the base has provided part-time work opportunities for 5 poverty-alleviated households and 4 disabled households, driving the employment of local villagers and increasing the income of villagers. Little Strawberry not only changed Markinch's life, but also allowed more villagers to catch the "Get Rich Express".
Talking about the next step, Ma Jinqi said that he will continue to study new methods of strawberry cultivation, improve planting technology, introduce new varieties, expand the scale of planting, increase production, and let more people eat fresh strawberries with high quality and low price.
