As the saying goes, loquat in March and plum in April. Recently, walking into the plum picking garden in Liguang Village, Huzhen Town, in the lush fruit forest, the heavy early plums are hanging on the branches, the crystal raindrops on the fruits are shaky, and the ripe early plums are full and round, which is coveted. Fruit farmers are shuttling through the dense fruit forests, busy picking early plums, and their faces are filled with the joy of a good harvest.
It is understood that Liguang Village has been planting plums for more than 160 years, and there are currently more than 20 plum picking gardens in the village, with an area of about 400 acres of plum planting in the village. Li Muxing, president of Boluo County Zaoli Agricultural Products Professional Cooperative, told reporters: "Our village has rich planting experience, and the quality of the plums grown is very good, sweet and sour, crisp and delicious, and the plum output of the whole village this year has reached 7-80,000 catties." ”
According to reports, the village will establish a professional cooperative of early plum agricultural products in 2022, implementing a picking-based business mode, and tourists who come to pick are mainly from Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou and other places. Through the establishment of cooperatives, the village manages sales in a unified manner, continuously expands the scale of planting, and gradually develops the deep processing project of early plums. At the same time, the "Early Plum Cultural Festival" is held to attract tourists to taste the crispy early plums and experience the fun of picking.
Next, the village also plans to rely on the model of "cooperatives + enterprises" to further expand the planting area, and build "Liguang Zao Li" into a shining business card of characteristic industries through multiple channels, so that the "picking tour" can bring vigorous vitality to the village and let the villagers share the development dividend. "We plan to focus on early plums and drive the villagers to plant other special fruits, mainly picking, driving the development of homestays, catering and other aspects, and are committed to building a fruit town and driving the villagers to get rich. Li Muxing said.
