May is the peak season for the sales of peony fresh cut flowers, and more than 600 acres of peony ushered in the flowering period in the Xinbert Agricultural Ecological Park near Wangyi Village, Yijing Town. Through the management and business model of "base + cooperative + farmer", the base sells the processed fresh cut flowers to all parts of the country, and a large-scale fresh cut flower industry chain continues to develop and improve here.
In the fresh cut flower factory at the base, workers are busy removing leaves, cutting, refrigerating and packaging. "Cut flowers are doing very well right now, and we have produced more than 2 million cut flowers this year. At present, it has been put on sale one after another and is favored by the market. Diao Zhixin, manager of Xinbert Agricultural Park, said.
In the past few years, the planting scale of the base has increased from the initial 200 acres to 600 acres, and the number of fresh cut flowers has also increased from a single variety to more than a dozen. It is worth mentioning that the peony flowers in the base are full of flowers, tall and beautiful, and with perfect cold chain logistics, the sales market is very broad, and has been sold to Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and other first-tier cities, and is well received by consumers. In order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the fresh cut flower industry, the base not only introduces new varieties and new technologies, but also organizes workers to participate in training and continuously improve the level of planting and management.
It is understood that now the base has provided employment opportunities for more than 500 people in the surrounding villages, indirectly driven more than 1,000 local tourism jobs, and also brought more than 80,000 yuan of collective economic income to Wangyi Village.
"My daily salary is 70 yuan, and I can earn about 2,000 yuan a month, and I am very close to home, and I can still do housework at home in my free time, and my life is getting better and better!" The villager said happily.
A good environment attracts a good project, and a good scenery can also become a good "money" scene. "Today, relying on Xinbert Industrial Park, the fresh cut flower industry has gradually become a 'green bank' for villagers to increase their income. In the next step, we will continue to increase our support for the fresh cut flower industry, deeply explore the development model of 'flower + cultural tourism', build a fresh cut flower town integrating 'beautiful countryside + industrial development + collective economy', promote the further improvement and upgrading of the industrial chain, and continuously inject new vitality and impetus into rural revitalization.
