Approaching the cantaloupe planting greenhouse of Ma Hongsheng in Cucumber Garden Town, nearly two meters of melon seedlings are hung on the rope, and each melon seedling has a 1-pound size cantaloupe on it, and the fruitful scene comes into view. In the past two days, Ma Hongsheng has arranged for workers to complete the harvest of the first batch of cantaloupes, a large number of orders and a stable price, so that his face is filled with the joy of harvest.
“
"The cantaloupes in our base are planted twice a year, directly supplied to hundreds of orchards, the price is 7 yuan per catty, the output value per mu is about 18,000 yuan, and after a while, we are ready to harvest the second batch." Ma Hongsheng said happily.
According to Ma Hongsheng, after many investigations, the unique climatic conditions of the cucumber garden are very suitable for the cultivation of cantaloupe, so he has transferred more than 200 acres of land to plant cantaloupe, and recently a large number of cantaloupes have been listed, stable sales and prices, but also let him plant cantaloupe full of confidence.
Not only that, the base also absorbs 60 to 100 surrounding villagers to work in the base every day, expanding the scale of their own planting, but also broadening the road for the local people to increase their income and get rich.
In the next step, Cucumber Garden Town will continue to make use of the unique climatic conditions and location advantages, focus on creating characteristic agricultural products with characteristics, quality and reputation, and continuously enhance the popularity, reputation and influence of agricultural products, and help rural revitalization.
