In the middle of summer, the Beibei pumpkin in Hongqi Village, the ancient town of Luonan County, Shangluo City, ushered in the harvest season, the continuous pumpkin grew gratifyingly, and each green vine was hung with a fist-sized "mini pumpkin", the melon farmers picked, sorted, and shipped in the base, and the joy of harvest overflowed from the smile.
On July 28, all the Beibei pumpkins that Lin Huimin tried to plant were purchased, making a net profit of 18,000 yuan. Lin Huimin was originally a bricklayer, working outside the country all the year round, his income was unstable, and he had no time to take care of the family's affairs, so he always wanted to change his livelihood. This year, an opportunity for the collaboration between Su and Shaanxi brought him into contact with Beibei pumpkin.
Lin Huimin's Beibei pumpkin is a variety introduced from Jiangning District, Nanjing, each about 7 to 9 taels, it tastes both sweet and glutinous of chestnut, and is also a selenium-rich agricultural product, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, short growth cycle, high yield, high nutritional value, however, compared with the traditional pumpkin planting mode, Beibei pumpkin has very strict requirements for temperature, soil, and maintenance process. At the beginning of the year, the experts of Jiangning District, Nanjing City, who docked Luonan County, believed that the climate and soil of Hongqi Village were very suitable for planting Beibei pumpkin, and before and after "May Day", with the help of Jiangning District's capital, technology and talent support, the "two committees" of Hongqi Village successfully introduced Beibei pumpkin seedlings and tried to plant 15 acres in the name of the village collective.
"Thousands of catties per mu", "tens of thousands of annual incomes", "no worries about sales"...... After learning about the broad market prospects of Beibei pumpkin, and learning that there are also professional technicians in Jiangning District to guide and supervise remotely, Lin Huimin and many villagers decided to give it a try and receive seedlings for free to plant. He Yuegui, secretary of the party branch of Hongqi Village, introduced that the villagers used the courtyard, the sporadic land in front of the house and behind the house to plant 35 acres of beibei pumpkins, and planted 400 pumpkin seedlings on one acre, with an average of 8 fruits per plant, and it is expected that the first stubble can harvest about 50,000 catties, according to the current market price, it can increase the income of the village collective economy by more than 90,000 yuan, and drive the average income of 24 growers to increase by about 6,000 yuan. "The planting of Beibei pumpkin not only revitalizes the 'idle land' and strengthens the collective economy of the village, but also absorbs about 20 villagers from the surrounding area, bringing a variety of income to the villagers."
Beibei pumpkin trial planting is successful, and sales are also an important part. "The traditional pumpkin is sold for almost 1 yuan per catty, and the purchase price of Beibei pumpkin is 2 yuan per catty. He Yuegui told me that most of the pumpkins in the village were purchased by orders from the Nanjing Federation of Trade Unions, and the rest were also snatched up through the platform of the School of Commerce and Trade of Nanjing University of Industry and Technology. "Relying on our professional expertise in e-commerce, we use 'small windows' to link the 'big market', build a live broadcast room for agricultural and sideline products in Shaanxi, explore a new path of linking agriculture with agriculture in the innovation linkage of government, enterprises and schools, and write a new chapter of win-win cooperation." Xing Yijun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Commerce and Trade of Nanjing University of Industry and Technology, said.
With the continuous expansion of the economic benefits brought by Beibei pumpkin, it has also strengthened the confidence of the Suzhou-Shaanxi Cooperation Office of Luonan County to take the road of characteristic planting, and has more new ideas for future development. Li Shengwei, a member of the liaison group of Jiangning District counterpart assistance to Luonan County and deputy director of the Luonan County Development and Reform Bureau (temporary post), said that Ningluo and Luonan will make full use of the relevant policies of Suzhou-Shaanxi cooperation, take advantage of Jiangning, combine with the actual situation of Luonan, continue to revitalize idle land, develop and expand characteristic industries such as Hengxi small watermelon, beibei pumpkin, forage planting, etc., and create a brand of agricultural products with regional characteristics to help rural revitalization.
