Colorful April, colorful fields. Walking in Xiaowu Village, Shanggang Township, Xinye County, people feel the characteristics here: more than 4,500 acres of cultivated land are all planted with brand onions, pink, light yellow fruit balls grow luxuriantly, tall green onion stalks guard the fruit, emerald green, slightly yellow tips, this is the unique color of the onion is about to go on the market, is the color of the harvest, is the portrayal of the harvest, together with the green trees and green branches, the moon season is in full bloom, the wide field cement avenue, constitutes a garden full of verdant, beautiful pastoral, full of temptation of the landscape, together with the fresh air, blue sky and white clouds, The sparkling pond has become a "garden" for urban residents to relax on weekends, enjoy spring, and pick fresh food, and become the "back garden" of Xinye County.
As a well-known "onion professional village" in Xinye County, Kogoku Village has been cultivating onions for nearly 20 years. In order to continuously expand the characteristic industry of "onion production", Xiaowucun adheres to the concept of "agricultural characteristics, characteristic scale, and scale branding", explores the planting model of "village party branch + onion professional cooperative + farmer", and establishes the "Xinye County Fuge Onion Professional Cooperative" in December 2008, and has embarked on a "one village, one specialty, one village, one landscape" integrated development path of agriculture and tourism.
The impetus of the professional society is obvious to all. Twenty years ago, there was a "wheat + peanut" and "wheat + corn" planting model, and farmers' income was very limited. In order to change this appearance, the party branch of the village organized personnel to visit Shandong and Jiangsu, and felt that the market potential of planting onions was great, the demand was strong, and the technical requirements were not high, so they decided to plant onion brands for domestic and export sales in the whole village, so as to open up a way for the masses to get rich through hard work. As the planting situation is optimistic year by year, more and more people are planting onions, and their income has also increased significantly. In order to meet the market demand, the village has established a "professional cooperative", registered the "Fuge" brand trademark, established an information department, trained many "soil experts" and "Tian Xiucai", established a strong relationship with the buyer, and implemented the purchase at a protective price. At the same time, the professional society provides farmers with seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, films, micro-fertilizers and other agricultural services, provides planting technology and methods, and continuously improves. A team of brokers has been set up to solve the problem of "difficulty in selling" through the performance of contracts and e-commerce promotion. The village party branch seized the opportunity of the project to build cement roads, small bridges and well-drilling facilities in the fields, and transferred cultivated land for some large planters to open up sales channels. All these work has promoted the development of onion production in the village, which has reached a new level every year, with an annual yield of more than 6,000 yuan per mu and a total income of more than 27 million yuan, becoming a well-known professional village in the county, and the income of farmers is as high as "sesame flowering".
The growth cycle of onion is relatively long, from October of the previous year to May of the next year, after several periods of seedling, transplanting, management, and harvesting, the field also turns from white to light green, dark green, strong green and other stages, plus the company of peach blossoms, rape flowers, and dandelions, to achieve a colorful pastoral scenery. Listening to the suggestions of the village branch, the professional society adopted the model of "base + sightseeing + picking + catering" to build a sightseeing corridor, rest point, chess and card room and other leisure places, attracting residents from other places and counties to come for vacation and experience the fun of farming, making Xiaowu Village an important node for traveling around Xinye, and also bringing a part of the income to the villagers.
A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring. A family is not rich, but a family is glorious. Xiaowu Village has become a wealthy village by virtue of its characteristic industries, providing a model for the development of special products in each village and the operation of various professional cooperatives, and contributing to rural revitalization.
