At present, more than 400 mu of winter seed potatoes in Lianglukou Village, Fuxing Town, Meitan County, have successively entered the harvest period. The bumper potato harvest not only drives the local villagers to increase their income, but also adds hope to the continuous development of the industry.
Walking into the potato planting base, the excavated potatoes cover the fields, and the busy figures of villagers digging, picking, loading and picking can be seen everywhere, a gratifying harvest scene. According to Nie Qin, the person in charge of the base, when this batch of potatoes was harvested, it happened to be the off-season of potato production, and the market was in short supply, and at this time, it was listed in the wrong season, and the market advantage was obvious.
Although it is the first year of planting potatoes, according to the introduction of technical personnel, the soil structure of Fuxing Town is very suitable for the planting of early-maturing potatoes, as long as the base fertilizer is applied, the weather conditions are mastered in the sowing and mulching stages, and the amount of topdressing is controlled, and the potato quality will be on a higher level.
As a traditional food crop and ingredient, potatoes are popular in the market. After grading, framing and weighing, more than 20 tons of potatoes harvested on the same day will be shipped to Hubei, Chongqing and other places overnight for sale.
Potato buyer Du Dahai said: "Our potato sales channel is in short supply, this batch of potatoes is planned to be shipped to Xiangyang, Hubei Province, and will be shipped out of three trucks tomorrow to Sichuan, Chongqing, and Zunyi Xinxue market." ”
In order to improve the utilization rate of winter land and increase the comprehensive benefits of land, at the end of 2021, Fuxing Town will develop potato scale planting according to the actual development of the industry and combined with market demand. At present, Fuxing Town has introduced agricultural product production enterprises to plant potatoes in more than 400 mu of land in Lianglukou Village, driving nearby villagers to work nearby.
Zhang Renshun, deputy mayor of fuxing town people's government, said: "Actively develop the potato industry in the model of Lianglukou Village Cooperative + large household + farmer. In the next step, our town will promote the winter potato industry in the whole town and make full use of the winter idle field. ”
"In order to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation and the effective connection between rural revitalization, the party committee and government of our town have done a lot of work in industrial planning." While paying close attention to food security production, we should develop various industries according to local conditions, enhance industrial efficiency, and let the masses increase their income and become rich.
