Developing Rice Planting, Walking Out of Rural Revitalization, and Improving the “Rice” Road

In recent years, Dong’a County has conscientiously implemented the concept of green development, optimized the layout of agricultural industries based on resource advantages such as climate, terrain, and arable land, and developed the rice seed production industry according to local conditions, driving people’s income growth and prosperity, and promoting rural revitalization.

In the rice planting base of Fangqi Rice Planting Professional Cooperative in Donga County, rows of green leaves are growing happily and are about to enter the booting period. Cooperative administrator Cui Yanxing is working with everyone to carry out daily management and protection work for rice weeding, watering, and soil loosening to maintain soil moisture. There is no shortage of water this year, coupled with careful management and guidance from cooperatives. The price should be around five or six yuan this year, and the benefits are decent, “Cui Yanxing told reporters.

In recent years, the chairman of the cooperative, Fang Qi, and the village’s “two committees” have actively guided villagers to transfer land and established a professional rice planting cooperative. Through unified planting, technical guidance, and procurement, the distinctive brand of “Fish Mountain Rice” has been polished and developed, and the village’s collective economy has been strengthened. The income of villagers has been steadily increasing. While promoting the large-scale and specialized development of the rice industry, the cooperative has built a new rice processing workshop and obtained a green food certificate and SC production license issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. At present, the cooperative has over 180 acres of functional rice demonstration and experimental bases, with an annual output of over 10 tons of rice and an annual output value of over 700000 yuan. Next, we will actively promote the ‘rice field+’ model, vigorously promote the comprehensive planting and breeding of rice fields, accelerate the integrated development of rice tourism, expand and strengthen the ‘fish mountain rice’, and inject new vitality into promoting the revitalization of rural industries, “Fang Qi said.

In recent years, Yushan Town in Dong’a County has vigorously developed rural tourism with its advantages in the Yellow River region, agricultural industry, and rich cultural and tourism resources. It has developed and cultivated nearly a thousand acres of characteristic agriculture, boutique agriculture, leisure agriculture, and smart agriculture along the tourism road and the Yellow River embankment, depicting a “new picture” of agricultural efficiency, farmers’ income, and rural color. Zhang Guodong, Deputy Mayor of Yushan Town and Director of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Office in Dong’a County, stated that he will continue to promote the action of improving the quality of characteristic industries and promoting agriculture through technology, continue to tap into the potential of characteristic planting, extend the industrial chain, make land “generate gold”, increase farmers’ income and become rich, and empower rural revitalization with characteristic agricultural industries.
