In the middle of November, in Diling Village, Lejiang Township, Longsheng, Guangxi, 2,000 acres of single-season red glutinous glutinous also entered the end of harvesting. But many people do not know that this kind of delicious glutinous rice, which is difficult for ordinary "foodies" to taste, is a very low yield of "noble rice" and "golden rice", just like this year's Tmall Double 11, the economic value is considerable, and a village can sell for 4.5 million yuan a year.
Diling Village is a famous red glutinous town, and every household in Dongzhai grows red glutinous. The cultivation of diling red glutinous can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, with a history of nearly a thousand years. During the Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, the earth spirit red glutinous wax was used as a royal tribute.
Diling has an excellent environment for the growth of red glutinous glutinous, it is located in the alpine semi-alpine mountainous area, the paddy field soil is fertile, and there is natural mountain spring water for irrigation. Red glutinous rice is a traditional agricultural product of the spirit of the earth, when cooked, the color is like rouge, the smell is fragrant, the taste is excellent, so it is also called "rouge rice", "blood glutinous rice", "red rice".
On November 28 last year, at the National Agricultural Product Geographical Indication Review Conference, the declaration of the Linghong Glutinous Landmark of LongshengDi successfully passed the expert review, and officially became the 6th national geographical indication agricultural product of Longsheng Autonomous County after Longsheng Phoenix Chicken, Longsheng Kingfisher Duck, Longji Pepper, Longji Tea and Diling Flower Pig.
Because Diling Village is located in an alpine mountainous area, in the past, farmers mainly planted red glutinous for their own food, so the planting was scattered, the management was extensive, and there was a lack of economic benefits. In recent years, young people have gone out to work, and most of these red glutinous are left behind by the hands of the elderly, and the area of red glutinous cultivation has decreased year by year.
In addition, the yield of red glutinous is low, with a yield of only about 300 kilograms per mu, which is less than half of that of hybrid rice, so it is very precious and is a "noble rice" in the deep mountains.
In March this year, the "We are in Action" column of Oriental Satellite TV and caring enterprises from all over the country walked into Diling Village together. At the ordering meeting, the caring enterprise ordered 100,000 kilograms of red glutinous rice in Diling Village, and the local people were happy to blossom. The brand has been launched, the sales channel has been guaranteed, and the planting area of diling red glutinous glutinous has been rapidly expanded to 2,000 mu this year.
"The enthusiasm of villagers to plant red glutinous is very high, because the price is good, and planting red glutinous can bring better economic income to the family." Wu Wenli, director of the Diling Village Committee, said that there are now four red glutinous rice cooperatives in Diling Village, one is led by the government, and the other three have their own small brands.
"Now there are ordering calls every day, there is no worry about sales, and the price can be sold for more than 20 yuan a kilogram." Wu Aijun, head of the Diling Red Glutinous Rice Cooperative, said that the cooperative planted more than 600 mu of red glutinous rice this year, and the total output can reach 150,000 kilograms.
Through cooperation with grain, oil and food companies, the cooperative's sales income reached more than 4.5 million yuan, and the economic benefits were very impressive.
Red sticky, almost forgotten. Today, in Longsheng Autonomous County, which is famous for its Longji Rice Terraces, and is such a remote village in the mountains, this kind of "tribute" in the past has been cultivated into "golden rice", and no one expected it!
