"The harvesting period of okra lasts for several months, and people have planted it early and have already picked several batches. I planted 2 acres and have picked a batch last month. Now we must pay close attention to watering and fertilizing to increase production, and take advantage of the price to sell some money. Chen Yuqing, a villager in the Shiluo Villagers Group in Shilong Village, told the Hainan Daily reporter that because of the ease of management and good income, most farmers in the village have planted okra.
Not only in Shilong Village, after years of cultivation and development, okra has become a characteristic industry for farmers in many townships in Baoting to increase their income and become rich. It is understood that Baoting will promote the accelerated development of the okra industry by providing farmers with seedlings, technology and sales channels, and plans to plant more than 10,000 mu of okra this winter and next spring.
Not only the okra industry, in recent years, Baoting has adhered to the main line of "adjusting the structure, changing the mode, creating a brand, and promoting income increase" to promote the development of characteristic agriculture "multi-point flowering", and the development of rambutan, okra, passion fruit, orchid, mangosteen, four-sided beans and other industries has entered the "fast lane", effectively promoting farmers' income.

Excellent agricultural structure and good industrial efficiency
The water under the iron shelf is babbling, and the clusters of orchids on the shelf are in full bloom, and the aroma is refreshing. This is the scene that the Hainan Daily reporter recently saw at the Wanru Orchid Base in Dongfang Village, Nanlin Township, Baoting. Tan Mei, a poverty-alleviated household, is shuttling through the flowers to weed orchids.

Xu Huanfeng, mayor of Nanlin Township, told Hainan Daily that Nanlin Township has built 5 orchid bases, and orchid products are exported to Guangdong and other places, driving many villagers to get rid of poverty and get rich.
Baoting Mountain has more land and less land, the development of large-scale agriculture is more limited, and Baoting is located in the ecological core area of central Hainan, and the choice of agricultural roads especially tests the wisdom of local politicians. "Baoting has good climatic conditions and ecological environment, and the development of characteristic agriculture according to local conditions is the way out for Baoting's agricultural development." The relevant person in charge of the Baoting County Government said that in recent years, the county has continued to optimize the agricultural industrial structure, adhered to the development direction of "high-quality, characteristic and rare", concentrated on building agricultural brands, and steadily improved the efficiency of agricultural production.
In recent years, the rambutan industry has developed into a major feature of Baoting's agriculture, and a total of 25,000 mu of rambutan is currently planted in the county.

In order to further reduce the burden on farmers and increase the enthusiasm of farmers in developing the rambutan industry, this year Baoting based on reality, made full use of and integrated various development funds, and issued subsidies to farmers and professional cooperatives who purchased rambutan seedlings, with a subsidy ratio of 70%, and growers raised 30% of their own funds.
According to statistics, from January to October this year, Baoting townships distributed nearly 90,000 seedlings of tropical fruits such as jackfruit, durian and rambutan, which further mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers to plant tropical fruits. As of the end of October, the fruit planting area of Baoting totaled 91,000 mu, and the new planting area was 4540.18 mu, an increase of 5.8% year-on-year.
The purchase price of agricultural products is easily affected by the market and fluctuates, and Baoting encourages farmers to plant melons and fruit trees at the same time, and actively does a good job in production and marketing docking, so that farmers can develop the industry more at ease. "We sign floor purchase agreements with growers to reduce their risk of growing agriculture." Yang Weiyu, general manager of Baoting Colorful Manor Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., introduced that after the grower signed an acquisition agreement with an agricultural enterprise, the income was guaranteed.
In addition, the relevant departments of Baoting actively expand the online and offline sales channels of agricultural products, connect with Enterprises such as Alibaba, Huayu Agriculture, Hainan Ali Agriculture and other enterprises and buyers of the wholesale market of melon vegetables outside the province, and give full play to the advantages of the e-commerce trading platform to ensure the smooth sales of agricultural products through multiple channels.

"In addition to enabling farmers to master planting techniques such as rambutan, passion fruit and mangosteen, we also hold online sales skills training such as opening online stores and live streaming with goods." According to the relevant person in charge of the Baoting County Agricultural and Rural Bureau, many local farmers have achieved the double improvement of "planting technology + sales skills" after participating in the training.

Guan Shanze, head of the Baoting County E-commerce Public Service Center, told the Hainan Daily reporter that usually the staff of the center often goes into the field and teaches farmers to promote their own agricultural products in the live broadcast room.
