Fruit and vegetable greenhouses lead the way to wealth

Entering Shimenlou Village, Shilou Town, Dan County, one can see a vast and undulating white plastic greenhouse on both sides of the road, where watermelons are thriving and growing happily.

Since we planted greenhouse watermelons in the village, we don’t have to worry about technology and sales anymore. After the watermelons matured, the cooperative led by the village branch contacted the purchaser to purchase them. Now the watermelons are sold for 160 cents per kilogram, and it’s not a problem to earn tens of thousands of dollars this year! “Local villagers happily said while picking watermelons in the greenhouse.

At present, there are over 600 vegetable greenhouses in Shimenlou Village. The people use their own greenhouses to invest in the cooperative led by the Party branch. The cooperative provides seedlings, fattens, manages, and sells them uniformly. At the same time, it adopts the four harvest planting mode of cabbage, watermelon, beans, and cabbage, which can achieve an annual economic income of over 20000 yuan per acre, effectively driving the people to become rich.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. At the beginning, many people held a wait-and-see attitude towards planting vegetable greenhouses. To dispel the concerns of the masses, the cadres of the village committee and all party members played a pioneering and exemplary role. They took the lead in planting the greenhouses, and the surrounding people joined the ranks of planting vegetable greenhouses after seeing them. After extensive mobilization, more than 200 vegetable greenhouses have been built by the villagers with a certain foundation, resulting in significant economic benefits.

With the unremitting efforts of Shimenlou Village, the greenhouse planting in Shimenlou Village has gradually formed a scale. Once the planting scale is formed, there is naturally no need to worry about sales. In addition to local supermarket sales, customers from both inside and outside the province will actively drive to purchase watermelons. Recently, it is the season of watermelon harvest, and every afternoon, customers come to the gate to purchase watermelons.

Nowadays, relying on vegetable greenhouses, the people in Shimen Lou Village have become increasingly wealthy. Next, Shimenlou Village will continue to expand its industrial chain and embark on a development path that integrates agriculture, tourism, and harvesting, leading more people to embark on a rural revitalization path of increasing income and wealth.
