Chengxian County: Fruit and corn help farmers embark on a “sweet” path to prosperity

At present, the fruits and corn in Chenjiazhuang Village, Wangmo Town, Chengxian County are ripe and on the market. Tourists and farmers who come to experience picking shuttle through the fields, filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest everywhere.

Since this year, Chenjiazhuang Village, based on the local reality, has explored a new model of making the village strong in industry and enriching the people, guided Dakang Planting Cooperative to focus on fruit and corn planting, supplemented by Hemerocallis citrina, pepper, tomato and other characteristic Vegetable farming, vigorously promoted rural picking tourism, and let more villagers become rich through the development of characteristic industries.

Developing fruit and corn cultivation is a way for Dakang Cooperative to adjust its planting structure and achieve a transformation of agricultural characteristic planting from “singularity” to “diversification”, and from “planting well” to “selling well”. In addition to obtaining land rental income through land transfer, the masses can also increase their income by working in cooperatives.

I am already in my fifties this year and there are two elderly people in my family who need to be taken care of. Working here, I am not tired and can also take care of my family. I earn over 80 yuan a day and over 10000 yuan a year, which is very satisfying, “said Yao Yonghu, a villager in Chenjiazhuang Village. Because the cooperative is active all year round, over 100 villagers from Chenjiazhuang Village and neighboring villages choose to work here. The cooperative only pays over 300000 yuan in labor wages each year, providing a guarantee for the people to work and increase their income at their doorstep.

In recent years, Wangmo Town has taken the goal of “Ecological New Wangmo, Healthy Reception Hall”, based on the advantages of ecological resources and guided by market demand, continuously adjusting and optimizing the agricultural industry structure, guiding farmers to develop characteristic vegetable and fruit planting, achieving quality and efficiency improvement in the agricultural industry, driving the people to continue increasing income and wealth, and walking out a green development path of coordinated economic, social, and ecological benefits.
