Recently, in the tea garden of Kenan Village, Xuanhe Town, Liancheng County, the verdant tea buds are crowded with tips, and the tea farmers take advantage of the good weather to skillfully pick down the tender new leaves and put them into the tea basket.
Relying on the unique geographical location and ecological, climatic and environmental advantages, Konan Village regards the tea industry as a carrier for the masses to increase their income and get rich, and continuously expands the green and ecological organic tea industry to drive the masses to get rich.
"As of 2023, the planting area of the tea industry in our village is more than 560 mu, with a total output value of more than 400 yuan, accounting for 58% of the leading industry. At the same time, there are 3 cooperatives, 2 farms, and 6 large tea processing households, which will be included in the construction of the municipal 'one village, one product' demonstration professional village project in 2023, effectively driving villagers to work nearby and promoting rural revitalization. Fu Wenchuan, secretary of the Party branch and director of Kenan Village, Xuanhe Town, said.
The mountain is busy picking tea, and the mountain is busy making tea. Walking into the processing plant of tea growers in Konan Village, the tea fragrance is refreshing, and the workers are busy processing the freshly picked tea leaves, and the new leaves are finished, rolled, and dried, leaving behind a simple color and mellow fragrance.
"We can process about 1,500 catties of new leaves a day, and about 5 catties of new leaves can make 1 catty of dry tea. Our tea is rich in 'selenium' elements, the quality and taste are very good, and the characteristic 'Qingming tea' is also exported to Guangdong, Jiangxi and other places. Huang Jinfa, a tea farmer in Konan Village, said happily.
In recent years, Xuanhe Town has adapted measures to local conditions, closely integrated the tea industry with the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, launched a regional characteristic brand, continuously improved the competitiveness and popularity of the tea market, and strived to cultivate small tea into a large industry that boosts farmers' income.
"Our town's tea planting area is about 3,000 acres, and the annual output value of tea is about 20 million, which can bring more than 3,000 yuan of income to some villagers around the tea garden every year. Ma Yufei, a cadre of Xuanhe Town Government, said that in the next step, the town will strengthen the management of tea gardens, standardize industrial development, increase publicity, strengthen brand benefits, further enhance the added value of the tea industry, and broaden the channels for tea farmers to increase income.
