In august, she entered a professional cooperative for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables in the village of toihai, yonggung town, qianyang county, and during the summer, the vegetables were “scrutinized”. In the shed, there's a bunch of red cherry like a little lantern. Peach tomatoes are hanging on vines, covered with green leaves, bright in colour, glamorous. The chairman of the cooperative, shen mae, is busy leading workers to pick mature cherry tomatoes. “this year's cherry tomatoes are grown in a dozen varieties, including vermin, powder, zheish 1, zheish, and others, covering an area of 12 acres. Recently, deliveries to supermarkets and wholesale markets in county cities have been made at a price of $11 per kilogram, and sales have exceeded $30,000 in a few days。
Shen mae is at cherry tomato
In 2012, shen mae returned to her village to start a business, develop fruit and vegetable cultivation in her hometown and establish a professional cooperative for the cultivation of fruit and fruit. After more than a decade of hard work, the mammoth cooperative has succeeded in developing 200 acres of vegetable base, of which 40 acres have been built with facilities, with the introduction of onions, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, fruit cucumbers and empty cabbages, a four-season efficient planting model combined with open-air plus facilities, with an annual profit of over $400,000。
From "agriculture white" to "agriculture white"
In 2004, shen mae graduated from the university and, having studied computer applications and maintenance, opened a 10-square-square-metre computer sales and maintenance market in the city of yanyang county. Shen mae's enthusiastic service and professional maintenance skills have won him a large number of customers. In 2006, shen mae expanded the front to 120 square metres, making an annual profit of $300,000. In 2008, shen mae had some savings in her hands and, at the initiative of his friends, had been involved in financial investment, revolving the financial markets of zhejiang, shanghai, shenzhen and chengdu for more than three years. Shen mae had finally earned the “first barrel of gold” of financial investment. “i made more than $2 million a year in 2011, but the risks and the intensity of competition in this industry are not felt outside.” shen mae told the journalists that she had decided to return to her home town to start a business in 2012, when she had spent a day in exile with her family, and felt that she could not find a sense of belonging in the cement forest and that her parents were too old to be accompanied。
Staff of the agricultural rural commission of yanyang county at the base
The town of yonggung is a low-altitude flat dam with a warm climate and abundant sunlight, with a unique advantage for the development of pre-finished vegetables. In recent years, more than 10,000 acres of vegetables have been developed throughout the town, and vegetable cultivation has become one of the main sources of economic resources for local farmers. Although the vegetable industry in the village has a certain base, it is largely decentralized, with individual sales, and the income from village gardening has been low. Shen mae has decided to grow green vegetables on a scale to become a vegetable grower。
Shen mae contracted 150 acres of land at a price of 300 yuan/acre in the village of suhai and planned to plant the four seasons of small onions common locally. However, being an agricultural “outside man” with no knowledge of the choice of varieties for vegetable cultivation, fertilizer management, pest control, etc., ultimately led to the near loss of onions in the year due to lack of technology. In the following two years, she has hired professional technicians from guangxi to provide training. She has also been studying on onions and other vegetables, and has been actively involved in the training of new types of farmers organized by the rural council of yanyang county. In 2015, onions were well grown under the elaborate management of shen mae, with an acre production of 2,000 kg and a wholesale price of 8 yuan/kg, with a gross profit of nearly 350,000 yuan。
In order to avoid the market risks posed by monocultures, the shelving varieties have been enriched by the introduction of high-quality vegetable varieties such as eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, hollow cabbage, onions and pelicans, which would have been more efficient, but it was hoped that, owing to the heavy rain of the sun, open-air vegetables, which often suffered from a lack of oxygen and a bad root, and that, following heavy summer rains, fruit-plants such as eggplants and tomatoes were prone to diseases such as molluscs and asphyxia, which resulted in a severe decline in vegetable production, which was worth over $300,000 a year。
Workers picking vegetables
How can traditional agriculture emerge from the dilemma of “food by heaven”? Shen mae's been thinking. In 2016, shen mae participated in the training of highly qualified farmers at the zhongyang county agricultural rural commission and was inspired and familiarized with vegetable specialists at the chongqing city agricultural college. Under the guidance of the expert, he decided to try the development model of “oil + facility cultivation”, i. E. The use of open cultivation for early spring leaves and the use of facilities for summer eggplant vegetables. In 2016, he built 20 8 metres wide and 3. 5 metres high plastic film shacks and planted 20 acres of "excellent" tomatoes. This time, shen mae was extremely cautious, and he managed every part of his day-to-day management in such a way that he was afraid to make a mistake." my principle is to adhere to the green cultivation model, such as spring-spring vegetables, to the management of fatty water, to the timely cultivation of grass and to the prevention of pests such as aphids and larvae, which, in the course of their treatment, work in parallel with the application of leaf fertilizers, can achieve multiple effects, such as disease prevention, pest control, retrofitting and efficiency gains. In the summer, fruit and eggplant vegetables must be controlled and irrigated in a rational manner, in a timely manner and in a manner that reduces nutrient consumption.” on the spot, shen mae spoke about his management experience。
In 2016, shen maek registered as a professional cooperative for the production of green vegetables for the development of herds, which are competitive in the market, and for the production of green vegetables for the market, as well as the branding of vegetables for the village of suhai. One harvest, one harvest, and the cooperative's vegetable harvest, with caesium producing 4,000 kg of acre, chili acre producing 2,500 kg, tomato acre producing 2,500 kg, hollow cabbage producing 3,300 kg, with a gross annual profit of $500,000. In particular, the “727 distinguished” tomato colours are colourful and sour, and the local wholesale market for vegetables is popular. They have been pre-arranged in advance by the merchants. The price per kilogram is between $1 and $2 higher than the market average. With the facilities in place, maple shen further improves the efficiency and competitiveness of vegetable production by regulating the marketing time of vegetables, misplanting, planting and putting them on the market。
A new attempt to make a new fortune
In 2017, he expanded his 15-acre shed to prepare for a full-blown fight. However, it was not expected that the winter would be snowfall, with a snowstorm crushing 35 acres of the facility shed, and the harvest of that year having been in vain. This was a sudden and heavy blow, which caused some frustration among the maple. “there are more setbacks on the agricultural road than i thought. It is only through failure that we learn from our experience and constantly adjust our thinking that the road ahead will be smoother and smoother.” turning to the scene at the time, shen mie。
Cherry tomato harvest
In 2018, 35 acres of the facility were reconstructed using bamboo structures and cement bricks to strengthen the wall. In the same year, shen mae participated in a training course on “rural leaders for rich people” at the recommendation of the agricultural rural commission of yanyang county, and learned about the new model of efficient vegetable production, the autumn extension. Autumn vegetables are known to be vegetables planted during the summer, planted in early september and planted in protected areas in a shed in early october. The delayed planting of vegetables in the autumn usually takes place between mid-november and early december, and after a period of storage, high economic benefits can be obtained in the market for supplies on new year's or spring festivals. In 2019, shen mae tried to plant 15 acres of autumn vegetables, including tomatoes, eggplants and peppers. Under the careful management of shen mae, three vegetables were successfully released from the shed and earned $200,000 during the season。
The success of the autumn vegetables plantation experiment has increased the energy of the maple. In may 2022, a team from the science and technology mission of the central division and the specialized vegetable industries team came to the field research and mentoring of the professional cooperative for the production of fruit and vegetables. In the course of the conversation, shen mae learned that the cherry tomato market was still blank, and the idea of seeding cherry tomatoes emerged. Subsequently, at the advice of the expert, he visited and observed the tomato base in shandong, zhejiang and introduced in the spring of 2023 more than 10 varieties, including zhejiang, zhejiang and zhejiang。
In order to develop experience and promote himself, he also took part in 2022, at the recommendation of the rural rural commission of zhongyang county, in the “heading geese” cultivation project for rural industrial renewal in chongqing city, which strengthened his confidence in the vegetable industry through training. In the development of the vegetable industry, shen mae has played an active role in the revitalization of the village as “captainers”, employing 20 nearby villagers to work in the base for the day-to-day management of vegetables. The daily income of $80 per person and the cooperative's annual labour expenditure of more than $200,000 were a powerful solution to the employment problems of the surrounding labour force。
“technology is secure, marketable, and the vegetable industry is promising.” shen mae told journalists that the cooperative had successfully explored the “four seasons” of vegetable production, and that in the future he intended to continue to optimize varieties, improve the base infrastructure, demonstrate the standardized development of the vegetable industry throughout the county, and move beyond an innovative, green, ecological development of the vegetable industry。
