The rise of the Gobi dryland "agricultural factory" - Haisheng Group boosts the high-quality development of modern agriculture in Gansu Province
"Beyond imagination, too advanced, where is agriculture, completely modern 'agricultural factory'!" Walking out of the Haisheng Modern Intelligent Greenhouse Industrial Cultivation Ecological Demonstration Garden in Zhangye Minle County, a visitor expressed his emotion.
In the second half of 2019, when this modern high-tech agricultural project was put into operation, it seemed that it had been transformed into a popular local attraction in Zhangye overnight. For more than a year, merchants, experts and scholars from inside and outside the province and staff of relevant departments have flocked to see the style of modern Silk Road cold and dry agriculture.
"What I saw and heard here felt like I had traveled to the future world, and I really didn't expect that modern agriculture could be so 'tall' and completely subvert my understanding of agriculture!" "This is the development direction of modern Silk Road cold and dry agriculture, soilless cultivation, water-saving environmental protection, suitable for water-scarce areas, the output is far more than traditional agriculture, in Hexi area development space is huge, our enterprises should also gradually develop in this direction"...

Empowered by technology, gobi wonders
Starting from Zhangye City, go south for more than 30 kilometers along National Highway 227 and enter the territory of Minle County. On the east side of the national highway, this place was once called The Northern Beach, which, as the name suggests, is a vast Gobi desert. Due to drought and lack of water and gravelly soils, it was previously not suitable for agricultural development, and was once a "no man's land" at the junction of Ganzhou District and Minle County.
However, compared with the southern area of Minle County, the altitude here is lower, close to Ganzhou, and the location advantage is obvious. At the beginning of this century, Minle County planned this area as an industrial park, which was also the largest industrial park in Zhangye City at that time, and a number of industrial enterprises settled here.
In recent years, Zhangye Has actively built a solid ecological security barrier in the western part of the country, accelerated the promotion of green transformation and high-quality development, the Minle County Ecological Industrial Park ushered in transformation and upgrading, some extensive industrial enterprises were gradually eliminated, and a number of new ecological industries developed rapidly here. Haisheng Company is the "rising star" among the many enterprises in this park.
"Here is located under the Qilian Mountains, the terrain is open, the sunshine resources are particularly rich, the average annual sunshine time can reach 3360 hours, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, coupled with the pure and pollution-free meltwater of the Qilian Mountains, the water quality is excellent, and the development of modern cold and drought agriculture here has a unique advantage." Li Zijun, deputy general manager of Zhangye Haisheng Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd., said.
In the autumn, walking into the modern intelligent greenhouse of Zhangye Haisheng, the brilliant sunlight shines down from the transparent roof about three stories high, the bunches of tomatoes have just matured, and the new stubble of bell peppers has flowered. Fresh bunches of tomatoes grow in bunches on rhizomes more than 5 meters high, layer by layer, dense and fat, and farmers in protective clothing drive small trailers through the demarcated areas for picking, completely without the traditional agriculture "facing the loess with their backs to the sky", just like a modern "agricultural factory".

"We have introduced the world's most advanced modern agricultural technology, and at the same time carried out localization improvements, relying on high-tech means such as precision water and fertilizer circulation system, intelligent temperature raising management system, Internet of Things central control system, etc., to automatically control the whole process of computer automation of water, temperature, humidity, light, fertilizer and so on." Li Zijun said.
In this solar greenhouse, each crop is cultivated in an organic matter nutrient bowl to avoid the passage of soil infectious bacteria; a row of exhaust fans rotates through computer control to ventilate and adjust the room temperature in time; the appropriate amount of carbon dioxide needed for crop growth in the ventilation pipe...
"In the tomato area where we are located, there are two layers of insulated curtains above the greenhouse, and solar sensors are installed on the top, which can automatically adjust the curtain according to the weather and light changes and control the light." Ma Le, a senior engineer who graduated from Wageningen University in the Netherlands, said, "The ecological epidemic prevention system of the greenhouse adopts an organic method, in addition to sulfur insect repellent lamps, bumblebees have been introduced from Europe for pollination, ladybirds are released for pest control, and no pesticides are used throughout the process, and the water saving can reach more than 90%." ”

The main responsible comrade of the Minle County CPC Committee told reporters that the Haisheng Modern Intelligent Greenhouse Industrialization Cultivation Demonstration Project is based on the advantages of Zhangye Gobi Desert area and sufficient light and heat resources, and in accordance with the basic principles of "not digging a well, not breaking through the existing total amount of water, and not destroying the surface structure", expanding the agricultural foundation of Gobi facilities and forming a Gobi ecological agriculture demonstration area characterized by "drought".
In December 2017, the first phase of Zhangye Haisheng Modern Intelligent Greenhouse Industrialization Cultivation Project began construction. In 2019, the first single 200,000-square-meter modern intelligent greenhouse with an investment of 520 million yuan and an area of 500 mu was put into operation, which is divided into pepper area, tomato area, functional area, seedling area, etc., mainly producing string tomatoes and peppers.
According to reports, the string tomatoes and bell peppers produced by the Haisheng Modern Intelligent Greenhouse Industrial Cultivation Project are mainly sold to the developed areas along the eastern coast, and the annual output value per mu of land can reach 1 million yuan, compared with the traditional agricultural output value of thousands of yuan, the advantages of modern high-tech agriculture can be seen.
Increase employment and drive poverty alleviation
Enterprises have benefits, and the people have benefits. The settlement and development of Haisheng Group in Minle County has also brought tangible economic benefits to the local people.
Zhang Zhilan, 40 years old this year, has a child who goes to college in Hebei and has an elderly mother-in-law at home. In the past, her family lived in Hue Town, located in the northern foothills of the Qilian Mountains, where the altitude was high, the climate was cool, the crops were widely planted and harvested, and it was easy to get rheumatism such as old cold legs, and the living environment was not good.
In 2017, thanks to the good policy of poverty alleviation and relocation, Zhang Zhilan's family relocated to the Yuanmengyuan Community located in the Minle County Eco-Industrial Park and lived in a spacious and bright building. Since last year, she has had a stable job again.
"I work in Haisheng Agricultural Park, the daily wage is 110 yuan, overtime work is 15 yuan per hour when the farmer is busy, a month down, almost can earn more than 4,000 yuan, a month's income is more than the previous income from farming in the mountains for a year!" Zhang Zhilan said.

Bai Leshan, who works here with Zhang Zhilan, is 46 years old this year, because he suffered from polio when he was a child, which made his right leg disabled and it was inconvenient to walk, but he earned more money than Zhang Zhilan in a month. "We do different work, I can earn about 6,000 yuan a month, the work is not heavy work, it is much easier than the previous part-time work, Haisheng Company will pay my bank card on time and on time, the treatment is very good."

Previously, Bai Leshan looked around for work, but because of his bad legs and feet, it was difficult to find a job. In 2019, the poverty alleviation workshop of the Haisheng Modern Intelligent Greenhouse Project absorbed him to work nearby, minle County organized training, and Bai Leshan, who worked hard, learned and worked while doing, and became a skilled worker in less than a year. Bai Leshan's wife, Zhang Xianglan, also came here to work, with a monthly salary of nearly 4,000 yuan. "Now we can take care of each other and take care of the children, and life is getting better and better." Zhang Xianglan said.
The reporter randomly interviewed a number of workers working in the Haisheng Modern Intelligent Greenhouse, they are all neighbors, all live in the Yuanmengyuan community. "Now only the first intelligent greenhouse that has been put into production in the first phase of the Haisheng project has absorbed more than 500 people, who are farmers relocated from the mountainous areas through the relocation of poverty alleviation and ecological livability in the county, and they can solve the employment problem and they can live here with peace of mind." Zhang Aimin, director of the Minle County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said.
"We have built a whole industrial chain from seedling centers, production centers, sorting and packaging centers, and cold chain logistics and distribution centers, which can provide jobs for 5,000 local poor people in the future, and also provide farmers with high-quality vegetable seedlings, drive farmers to engage in vegetable planting, and achieve increased income." Yang Baihua, director of the human resources department of Zhangye Haisheng Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd., introduced it.
"While driving farmers to increase their income, Haisheng Intelligent Greenhouse has also changed the lifestyle of relocated farmers and realized the transformation from farmers to workers." Haisheng agriculture also has a great demonstration and driving effect on the development of modern agriculture in the county, and the increase in farmers' income has also solved the problem of unbalanced urban and rural development. Zhang Aimin added.
Grand blueprint, 100 billion industries
It is expected that what is currently in front of people is only the first of the five modern intelligent greenhouses in the first phase of the Haisheng project, and good things are still to come.
Nowadays, two or three kilometers east of the intelligent greenhouse that has been put into production, the continuous steel frame structure has been erected, various mechanical equipment is shuttling back and forth between them, and the workers are busy installing and constructing, and the scene is a busy scene. Bai Wanchao, director of the project engineering department, told reporters: "The second intelligent greenhouse of the first phase of the project has completed the installation of the surrounding frame and roof glass, and is currently undergoing the installation of curtain lines and wet curtains, and this modern intelligent greenhouse can reach the debugging and trial operation conditions in early October." ”
