Corn is flooded with water, and water conservation cannot keep up, and the desire to grow vegetables is also limited; Without deep processing equipment, you can only sell the first products of chili peppers, and in the case of poor sales, the chili peppers will rot in the ground...... These "old and difficult" problems have been plaguing the villagers of Jinxing Village, Minle Village and Lanxing Village in Ligang Town, Helan County. "At present, the reservoir has been built and began to store water, relying on the water-saving regulation of the reservoir, this year we have developed 600 acres of high-efficiency water-saving corn, and next year we can also grow vegetables." On May 14, Wu Xiaohua, deputy secretary of the party branch of Jinxing Village, Ligang Town, Helan County, said. Nowadays, the pepper intensive processing project in Minle Village and the vegetable cold storage project in Lanxing Village have also begun to take shape, and the "old and difficult" problems that plague the collective economic development of the village have been solved together, laying a solid foundation for this year's harvest.
The cistern of the village of Venus
Jinxing Village is close to the traffic arteries of Helan County and has a superior geographical location, but it can only rely on canals for irrigation for a long time, and the land value is not maximized. At the beginning of this year, the village took advantage of the land leveling in and out policy, withdrew the original forest land, and was approved to build a 300-acre reservoir. The reservoir started construction in March, was completed at the end of April, and began to store water in May, with a reservoir capacity of 50,000 cubic meters, which can meet the water demand of 1,500 acres of land. The reporter saw at the scene that the land next to the reservoir had been leveled, the drip irrigation supervisor had been paved, and some plots were sowing corn. "Before the construction of the reservoir, the water-saving agriculture in Jinxing Village was restricted, and the corn planting relied on flood irrigation, and next year we can develop vegetable planting with the help of efficient water-saving irrigation to increase the added value of the land." Wu Xiaohua said.
Pepper intensive processing project in Minle Village
Wang Wencheng, secretary of the Party branch of Minle Village, is full of expectations for the upcoming pepper deep processing project. The eastern area of Ligang Town, where Minle Village is located, is the main pepper producing area in Yinchuan, with an annual output value of more than 100 million yuan, and half of the cultivated land in the village is used to grow peppers, and the products are mainly sold to the south. Due to the lack of deep processing equipment, for a long time, Ligang Town can only sell the first products of chili peppers, and if the sales are not smooth, the chili peppers will rot in the ground. The deep processing project of this construction can carry out chili drying, grinding and other processes, which will greatly improve the added value of chili peppers. This project will not only benefit Minle Village, but also the chili industry of the entire Ligang Town will be upgraded to a higher level. "Last year, the collective income of Minle Village was more than 700,000 yuan. After the completion of this project, our village may enter the 'million yuan club' in Helan County. Wang Wencheng said happily.
The vegetable cold storage in Lanxing Village is being adjusted
In the past two days, Hai Longlao, deputy director of Lanxing Village, went to the vegetable park in the village, one is to see the harvest of tomatoes in 40 greenhouses, and the other is to see the construction of cold storage. Lanxing Village is the main production area of high-quality vegetables in Helan County, the village has 340 second-generation solar greenhouses, 320 steel structure cold sheds, the main production of organic vegetables, melons and fruits, with an annual output of more than 8,500 tons, and some vegetables are also sold to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. At present, 200,000 kilograms of tomatoes in Lanxing Village are on the market one after another.
Villagers in Lanxing Village harvest tomatoes
Lanxing Village originally had a 50-square-meter pre-cooling workshop, but it was far from meeting the demand, which often led to the failure of freshly harvested vegetables to be cooled and kept fresh in time and rotted. The new project can store 360 tons of vegetables at one time, and can solve the problem of pre-cooling and temporary storage of 3,200 tons of vegetables per year, and the project is scheduled to be completed in July.
The construction of vegetable planting infrastructure in Jinxing Village, Minle Village and Lanxing Village in Ligang Town is only a microcosm of Helan County's continuous development of the added value of the vegetable industry.
