From "building beautiful" to "operating beautiful", Longtang Village makes full use of the resources and brands of the village, promotes the integration of the first, second and third industries, strengthens the collective economic income of the village, drives the villagers to increase income, and the "face" and "Lizi" in the village are beautiful!
This year, more than 350,000 catties of high-quality grapes are expected to be produced
A few days ago, the opening activity of "2022 Shennonglan Xianggu Opening Harvest Season and the Second Sunshine Rose Grape Picking Festival" was held in Longtang Village, and the joy of harvest filled the entire park. At the event site, the public can not only taste the sweet grapes produced in Guangdong, but also experience the harvest joy of picking under the grape rack.
The flesh is crisp and juicy, accompanied by rose scents, and in recent years a grape called the Sunshine Rose has taken the global market by storm. Last year, this high-end fruit was sold for more than 100 yuan per kilogram in the Huizhou market.
In order to find land suitable for growing sunshine rose grapes, Chen You, an investor in Shennong Lan Xianggu, traveled to hundreds of villages in three years, settled in Longtang Village, Ma'an Town in 2019, overcame many difficulties such as the epidemic, and officially cultivated land in March 2020, harvesting more than 200,000 catties of high-quality sunshine rose grapes the following year. "Affected by the cold spring this year, the sunshine rose grape production has decreased, but it is expected to exceed 350,000 catties." Chen Youfeng said.
"The sunshine rose grapes produced by Shennonglan Xianggu are the benchmark of sunshine rose grapes in the country." Che Xutao, vice president of the Grape Branch of Guangdong Horticultural Society, introduced that Shennong Lanxianggu was awarded the "Guangdong High-end Grape Cultivation Demonstration Base" by the Grape Branch of the Guangdong Horticultural Society, and the Grape Branch of the Chinese Agricultural Society awarded the "China High-end Fine Sunshine Rose Grape Planting Demonstration Base", which became the industry standard and reference for the variety.
It is planned to build a modern agricultural park of 1,200 mu
From the air, a bird's eye view, Shennong Lan Xianggu lined up neatly arranged greenhouses like a modern pastoral painting; Approaching the farm, you can smell the unique sweet smell of grapes in the distance; At night, the insect lights in the park are dotted like stars, which is very interesting.
"Planting sunshine rose grapes not only dressed up Longtang Village, but also enriched the village collective and enriched the villagers' purses." Wen Ronghua, secretary of the general branch of the party in Longtang Village, said.
Villager Wen Changlin transferred 13 mu of his land to Shennong Lan Xianggu to earn rent, with an income of 1400 yuan per mu, nearly 20,000 yuan a year, and the price of land circulation will rise by 400 yuan every 5 years. "My wife can also give priority to working in orchard enterprises to do odd jobs, and she also earns 4200 yuan per month, and I earn more by going out to work." Wen Changlin said. In Longtang Village, there are many villagers like Wen Changlin's family who are employed at the doorstep of their homes, and even more than 200 people are busy farming.
"Relying on modern agricultural industry resources such as Shennong Lanxiang Valley, we are building a modern agricultural park with a total land area of about 1,200 mu, and in the future, we will further promote industrial development and increase villagers' income through equity dividends, e-commerce sales, and the development of homestays and farmhouses." Wen Ronghua said that Longtang Village will also actively play the brand of "Cantonese cuisine masters" of more than 50 people in the village, integrate into the village's special Cantonese food snacks and other catering shops, and carry out cooking competitions and food festival activities. Use existing houses to create a model of boutique characteristic homestays, and revitalize the idle homestay resources of the whole village with points and areas.
