Tanhua Township is guided by the cultivation of cherry industry due to snobbery

Recently, the author walked into the Left Oh Group of Zimidi Village, Tanhua Township, Dayao County, and a patch of cherry trees came into view, and tourists continued to walk through the red fruits and green leaves to experience the fun of picking.

The cherry orchard with an area of more than 2 acres in front of us is flourishing and fruitful under the careful management of villager Li Cuizhi. "There are a lot of tourists who come to play and pick, basically 20 or 30 people every day, and it is expected that sales will reach more than 20,000 yuan this year." Li Cuizhi told this writer happily.

There are nearly 100 households in Tanhua Township, a major cherry grower like Li Cuizhi. Due to the unique regional environment, tanhua township cherries are excellent, good taste, coupled with the experience and foundation of cherry cultivation, in 2018, Tanhua township took advantage of the situation, guided local villagers to change the concept of agricultural production, encouraged village cadres to take the lead in developing economic fruit trees, and led villagers to try to grow cherries on a large scale. After nearly 3 years of development, the township has formed a cherry production area of more than 100 acres.

"This year, the income from cherries in our entire township is estimated to reach about 200,000 yuan. Next, we will further expand the scale of cherry planting, improve supporting facilities, create cherry picking belts, strive to achieve a seamless connection between flower appreciation and fruit picking, and try to explore a new path for the integration of agriculture and tourism. Yang Jinhong, deputy secretary of the party committee and acting mayor of Tanhua Township, introduced it to the author.

In recent years, the township has taken the promotion of high-quality and efficient agriculture, livable and workable villages, and rich and prosperous farmers as the starting point and foothold of its work, strived to promote the development strategy of "industrial prosperity, people's prosperity, good people's customs, and rural beauty", and focused on creating a number of rural-level modern agricultural parks, demonstration societies for farmers' professional cooperatives, and demonstration family farms. At the same time, we should pay close attention to the cultivation of agricultural product brands, do practical characteristic agricultural products, advocate agricultural business entities to establish brand awareness, create golden signboards, and realize the "small and fine, small and special, small and excellent" agricultural products. Make small cherries become a big industry, and cherry cultivation has become one of the ways for the masses to increase their income and become rich.
