【Comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society "Research Trip to 100 Cities, 100 Counties and 100 Villages"】

With the booming winter jujube industry, the per capita net income of farmers in Xiapo Village, Anren Town, Dali County, Shaanxi Province, exceeded 20,000 yuan. This small village on the banks of the Yellow River, known as "China's first winter jujube village", was once a provincial-level poor village.
The little winter dates became the fruit of getting rich
"Canals are rotten, slopes are broken, roads are uneven, hard work is confiscated after a year, spending money is all on short-term work, the village has land that cannot be planted, and it is necessary to go out to charter land to make a living." This song is the heartache of the villagers of Xiaopo in the 1990s. Xiaopo Village is located on the bank of the Yellow River, with 968 households and 4,200 people in the village, with a total of 15,000 mu of arable land. The 5,000 mu of ration field on the shore is located at the end of the Luohui Canal irrigation area, and the channel has fallen into disrepair and crop yields are not high. The rest of the tens of thousands of acres of river beach land, due to serious salinization, poor drainage, perennial desertion.
In 1998, Xue Wasan was elected secretary of the party branch of Xiaopo Village. After taking office, he led the leading bodies of the two village committees and the contingent of party members to conscientiously study the party's policies and actively look for ways to get rich. After inviting experts from the Beijing Academy of Forestry sciences and the Northwest A&F University to conduct soil analysis and feasibility studies, the village party branch made up its mind to develop the jujube industry in the Yellow River beach.
Xue Safety took the lead in contracting the beach land to try to plant snow dates. Because the underground is brackish water, the survival rate of jujube trees is very low, Xue Safety pulled water from 3 kilometers away, a bucket of water, a seedling land with "sweet water" alkali, the survival rate of jujube trees that year exceeded 80%. Identifying the road to prosperity, the village branch called on 24 cadres in the village to contract 10 acres of land in the beach to plant dates and show them to the masses. Hearing that the price of winter dates in the market was high, Xue Safe paid for winter jujube seedlings out of his own pocket and distributed them to the whole village for free. Through the high-end head technology, all the living jujube trees are replaced with winter jujube varieties.
In order to lay a good foundation for the industry, Xiaopo Village has won 4.7 million yuan of project funds, implemented the Yinluo River underwater beach project, newly repaired 800 meters of Yinhuang Dou Canal, lined 17.6 kilometers of channels, erected 10 kilometers of high and low voltage lines, and added 4 transformers, completely solving the irrigation problem in the beach area.
In the winter of 2007, Xue An'an took the village cadres and took the electric drill down to the ground, drilled through the frozen soil on the ground, opened the nest, and prepared to put on a "raincoat" for Xiaopo Winter Jujube to fight against the "autumn shower" weather that occurs every year in the Guanzhong area. After that, the area of winter jujube in the whole village expanded rapidly, and the small winter jujube became the rich fruit of the xiaopo masses.
The saline land became a cornucopia
Inviting jujube trees into the greenhouse not only solves the problem of cracking fruits, but also advances the time to market, improves the quality of fruits, and the party branch of Xiaopo Village calls on the party members and cadres of the whole village to take the lead in the steel frame shed, tree model, and promote the upgrading of the winter jujube industry. The people of Xiaopo Village, who have tasted the sweetness, take the initiative to try the cultivation of double-membrane greenhouses, steel frame quilt sheds, and greenhouse greenhouses, and the large-scale application of facility technology makes Xiaopo winter dates the first in the country in early May every year. Until the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, for 5 consecutive months, high-quality lily winter dates can be seen on the market.
In August 2009, Xiaopo Village established the Winter Jujube Cooperative, in accordance with the "Party Branch + Cooperative + Farmer" model, the cooperative unified procurement and supply of pesticides, fertilizers and other means of production, unified provision of warehousing, sales services, unified introduction of new varieties, training of new technologies, guidance of the masses for standardized production, and strive to build the Xiaopo Winter Jujube brand. Today, the number of cooperative members has increased from 9 to 480 households, and the planting area of winter dates in Xiaopo has exceeded 15,000 mu.
Cadres have to do it, and they have to lead the masses to do it. The winter jujube industry is in full swing, so that the salt and alkali beach with no harvest has become a cornucopia for Xiaopo Village to get rid of poverty and get rich.
In order to make the industry of getting rich cover every peasant household, the party branch of Xiaopo Village won 1.7 million yuan of loans to benefit farmers from financial institutions such as the Agricultural Bank of Dali County and the Credit Cooperative, and carried out industrial poverty alleviation. There are more than 10 poor households in the village who are unable to lend money themselves, and the village branch organized branch members to take the lead in guaranteeing and helping them build greenhouses. The village's large planters, agricultural technology experts, and melon and fruit agency formed a party member science and technology support team, which taught techniques and solved problems for poor households planting winter dates throughout the day.
"In the first year, he sold more than 170,000 yuan, and the next year he sold more than 190,000 yuan..." Relying on the 10-acre winter date greenhouse, villager Zhang Xiacun continuously provided two children with college." If it weren't for these few acres of jujube trees, I wouldn't even dare to think about it. Zhang Xiacun said.
Under the leadership of the cooperative, the villagers have digitalized and intelligently transformed the greenhouses, reducing the labor intensity. With the rapid heating up of online trading of agricultural products, Xiaopo Village registered its own e-commerce company and launched the "Village Champion" brand. At present, the village sells more than 1,800 tons of Xiaopo winter dates through e-commerce every year, with sales of more than 80 million yuan.
At the beginning, no one paid 10 yuan per mu of river beach land per year, and now 800 yuan is not enough. Xiaodong jujube helped Xiaopo Village to uproot the poor roots, and the village's collective economy grew rapidly. Nowadays, Xiaopo Village has developed leisure and sightseeing agriculture and started a big article on the integration of agriculture and tourism. Traveling to the jujube garden by train has become a reserved program for dali rural tours, Xiaopo Village Winter Jujube Town has become a "net red punch card", and Xiaopo Village's 10,000 mu organic winter jujube demonstration garden has also become an organic and efficient ecological park integrating winter jujube production, trading and tourism.
