A fool, a seed, a forest
Black tomato organic demonstration base

The most proud thing about chai's life is that he raised black tomatoes, black sanctuaries, black gallons, and he was chosen as a space cooker for the 9th and 10th astronauts
Thirty years ago, on the “northern saline, southern desert beach” in al-tatai county, the army set up 30,200 acres of desert oasis, turning the once unsophisticated land into a famous desert agro-forestry demonstration park at home and abroad, and building a desert-specific base for the production and processing of black tomatoes。
Twenty years ago, at a meeting in beijing, chai learned that german experts were introducing the “magic black tomato” and that it was the product of a living desert, that he had “a bit of anticipatoryness” after collecting extensive literature and contacting experts in the united states, and that in 2000-2004 more than 400,000 dollars had been spent on the acquisition of the seeds, and that he had begun to develop and develop the seeds of black tomatoes to produce, process and eventually become an astronaut space food
In the eyes of the army, agriculture is a dynamic high-tech industry. He has embodied wonders and bold innovations in modern agriculture and related industrial chains。
Many people say that firewood in the army is a legend -- like a "wit" who planted a forest on the gobi, and built an industry with a seed, creating a sand ocean miracle
Black tomatoes
A fool planted a forest
From childhood, the wood, which was born in the countryside beneath the foot of the qinshan mountains in the western corridor of the river, was exposed to the suffering of farmers. In 1985, following conversion from the army, he worked in the geological unit. Later, with the broad vision of being a soldier, the mind of the poor and the open mind, the army abandoned this “iron job” from transporting, opening hotels, food circulation, agricultural by-products business, to being a rich man with considerable savings。
The yellow sands that ravaged our homeland buried the ancient silk road that once flourished civilization, the sun was so hot that every inch of hope for survival was evaporated, and the prospects for economic development in the sand region were bleak. Born under mount kirin, growing on the edge of the desert, from a young age, they have tasted the hardship and poverty of their farmers, all of which are felt in the army。
In 1990, when he was preparing to invest in the development of mineral property, he was deeply moved by the words “infertile land, organic food production, disadvantage and well-being for the people” with his admiration for his home country and the theory of the people's scientist quincheng “sand industry”, and was determined to invest more than 40 million sweat money from his start-up in the gobi desert in the sandy south of badangilin desert. Through 30 years of practical exploration, the people's scientists, moneyscientists, have fully proven that “deserts should not be the object of extinction, but of exploitation. The desert is gold, and the sand industry has been vigorously developed, and it can well be transformed into human well-being.” with a vision of the theory of the “sand industry”, full use is made of the sunlight of the desert and clean and clean desert soil, with a very limited amount of snow and snow melt, the development of modern technology and large-scale agriculture, and the realization of a whole-industry chain of agriculture, industry and trade。
Faced with the determination and conviction of the army to cure the sand, the local government allocated 30,000 acres of sandy saline to him. Since then, firewood has been in the army for decades in the fight against sand and improved saline lands, exploring ways to practice the sand industry in the midst of a sandstorm。
However, how easy can it be to create an ancient desert science and technology agriculture? Change requires not only talent, technology, research and development, experimentation and innovation, but also wind sand control, improved saline lands, and the choice of agro-forest crop varieties and technologies suitable for desert growth. It requires the selection and positioning of desert characteristics in strict accordance with natural patterns and market consumption needs, competitive species products with market demand, and the provision of services to humans by nutrient-rich species with scarce human health genetic resources, a vast and complex system project。
Clearly, this is also a century of investment, long cycles and slow results. In comparison to the mining, real estate and finance industries, which are “short and flat”, wealth gains in the desert are far more than ever。
The wood was in the army, and in the eyes of the people around it was a "wit with huge sums of money."。
Entrepreneurship is difficult, especially in the desert. All nature can take care of everything, and the fuel is in the army and his team. Added to the high investment in agriculture, its long life cycle and its slow impact, the difficulties of finance, equipment, technology and so on. It is a good thing that the soldiers and his partners have a character that is not afraid of suffering and that does not yield to fate. In the face of the difficult situation where all the blood money is spilled into the desert without output, in the face of the embarrassment that the experiment was interrupted by the lack of water and electricity, in the face of the difficult phase of selling houses and cars without expert salaries, firewood did not regret it in the army, and the cynicism and gossip encouraged him to start his business. At a time when firewood is most difficult for the army, the government of the party committees at all levels and the various sectors of society continue to lend their help, as has the compulsory labour of members of the local army and officials of the municipal and district government bodies, which has helped the army to survive one or the other。
At last, after 15 springs and autumns, 30,000 acres of desert oasis were managed in the sandy sands of the southern edge of the badangilin desert, producing more than 600 desert agro-forestry crop varieties, four of them leading the country, and becoming the largest desert agro-forestry demonstration park in northern china, as well as the establishment of gansu three agroforestry co. Ltd。
Now, 30 years have passed. Time does not flow like sand in the hands of the army, which returns 30,000 acres as an oasis。
Once upon a time, this barren land became an ancient silk road in the western corridor. An oasis on the fortress of the throat, looking to the canal field, the snow around it, scientific packages such as efficient water conservation, insects and chirps, the fragrance of birds, and the poetry of 30,000 acres of fine oasis. Gansu triangu agroforestry science and technology ltd. Was designated as a model base for the “1105” styrofoam state science and technology industry in the sanbe region by the sanbe north bureau and the centre for central science and technology, and the national forestry authority assessed the “national quality trustable nursery” as providing an economic basis for the sustainable development of the industry。
China's eight largest deserts, four sands concentrated in the north-west and north, also allowing the new, mon, tibetan, gan and qing five provinces to continue to “lead” the country. For more than a decade, the footprint of wood in the army has sunk into six major deserts, and the visual perception of desertification and desertification has struck its mind。
The sacrificial land is extremely severe in 920 districts and over 50 per cent of the country's 30 provinces and municipalities. “i and my team are limited in their abilities in the face of the sea of mong-shah, and i look forward to more people joining the sand-management team!” said the army。
A seed grows an industry
Everyone knows that wood in the army has a self-made “dry and quit” theory: farmers do nothing, do nothing, do nothing, do nothing, do something special
2000, the turn of the century. Beijing。
Fighting wind and sand for a long time, “greening the gobi but breaking the body” wood went to a military meeting in kyoto, where united nations officials and german experts met by chance. At a meal table, they were curious about the fact that tea and coffee could not be touched. When he identified symptoms such as insomnia, loss of hair, deformity and an inventory, the german expert handed over a package in full english, instructing him to stay on for a certain period of time。
In a half-month period, 70 per cent of the food was black ketchup and 30 per cent black gallons improved the sleep of firewood in the army, and there was a strong interest in black tomatoes。
Because of the scarcity of black tomatoes and the fact that their products are not readily available outside the country, firewood have been bought by the army through various channels for 60,000 dollars at a cost of $15 per grain for its own planting for itself and for friends。
The accident had left wood in the army and the black tomato。
Following numerous inquiries, chai joined the army in 2003 with german experts who studied the black tomato and convinced him to engage in technical cooperation in the joint development and processing of the black tomato。
“the cultivation of black tomatoes in germany and the united states is less than 24 per cent. And our base is at 38 degrees north, with plenty of light and high temperatures around the clock, which is the best place for black tomatoes to grow。
After four years of international technical cooperation, his team succeeded in producing high nutritionally valuable black tomatoes in 2007, making my country the third country to produce that produce after the united states and germany. In 2008, the results of the black tomatoes reached a national lead and filled a national gap, as determined by experts organized by the gansu department of science and technology. The ministry of agriculture, the relevant department of the central school of health, has tested the amount of black tomato chromosomal as seven times the amount of ordinary tomatoes, rich in flower nymphos, vec, vee, folic acid, sour acid and high calcium low sodium, low sugar, among others, which concentrates the main nutrients needed in the human body and is an invaluable nutritional fruit. Its seed technology, which exceeds germany and the united states in thousands of grains, fills a technological gap in the country and becomes a producer of seed breeding after germany and the united states。
In 2008, black tomato fruit was included in the special products of the beijing olympic games。
In order to increase value added and become a major industry, the gansu triangular agroforestry science and technology company, inc., was established in 2010 to build an industry-wide chain platform for the agro-industrial integration of black tomatoes. That year, the world's first production line for black tomatoes was established; 100,000 grade-level purification workshops were completed in 2015; the 10,000 grade-level processing line for black tomatoes was completed in 2017; and the 500 tons of fresh fruit production line for black tomato sauce per day was completed in 2018, making it the world's only world plant capable of meeting the standards required for industrial production。
In 2010, black tomato products were rated as “national priority new products” by the ministry of science and technology, the ministry of environmental protection, the ministry of commerce and the general directorate of quality surveillance and quarantine, and were welcomed at the eleventh international vegetable science and technology fair, held that year。
In 2011, the china space science and technology training centre conducted tests of the products of the black tomato and, following tests of animals and humans, the product was included as a contribution to the space recipes of the 9th and 10th astronauts, as well as the gansu dynasty luxin biotech group, inc., which is a supplier of raw food to the chinese astronauts in space。
In 2012, one of the five honorary units received the highest honor awards for the value of the black tomato products produced by the gansu desert purple biotech group, which are resistant to fatigue and radiation resistance to astronauts。
Four trees have planted a heavy burden
Four trees were planted under the premises of the gansu desert ultraviolet biotech group, which was a gift to stay here after a study by experts from china and the outside。
On 2 april 2010, at the national congress of the senior health industry, chai-jian gave a speech entitled " the desert is the last piece of clean soil for human medicine " , and the products of the black tomatoes attracted widespread attention from national and international experts。
On 11 july 2013, during an exchange visit to the base by over a dozen distinguished academicians from various countries, during the opening ceremony of the great desert grail, liu zhen, former vice-president of the china institute of science and technology and a renowned desert expert, left a message: “sunshine to serve future food”
A well-known russian scientist, igor zon, wrote: “stunned by the great achievements made in turning the gobi desert into a prosperous golden valley”, and said to media journalists: “thank chinese entrepreneurs for turning the desert into a gold food reserve for humanity”
“this is a great achievement to green the gobi as a great victory”
A message from a prominent israeli scientist, nicola orlov, “i am impressed by the achievements of chinese colleagues in developing and using desert lands.” only those who discover new lands will know what work has been done and will be able to achieve these achievements and wish you all much more for the well-being of humankind”
Takumanistan desert expert, batil mammadov, wrote: “may you achieve greater success in the development and utilization of the gobi desert using rainwater runoff and provide more ecologically pure and diverse organic products”。
This is based on the deep admiration of the expert scholars for the welfare of the sandy people in the black tomato industry
During the years of the development of the black tomato industry, large desert purple light has led to standardized production and expansion of the surrounding farmers through base demonstrations, which have enabled farmers in sand areas to gain widespread access to planting techniques. Standardized farming of farmers as the first workshop initially achieved a standard, size, organicization and workerization model, thereby transforming some of the farmers in the sand zone into industrial workers, a branding of the first, second and third workshop production to the middle and higher markets each year, a true industrial chain of agro-industrial integration as proposed by chanschen, a transformation of agricultural products into sophisticated, high-value-added end-of-consumer products, and a saving of 45 per cent of the income of farmers on the edge of the desert in 13 townships in the first district of zhang zhang xian city, pisai, gan state and sunan county from traditional agriculture, 2000 yuan/acre。
On 27 may 2019, when the director of the israel institute of desert agriculture, renowned desert agricultural scientist nicola olofsky, and professor leah came again to guide the great desert purple tour, they looked at the production, industrial processing of black tomatoes and said with great emotion: “it was amazing that we came here five years later, and you created the highest labour productivity on earth, which is the wisdom and wealth you have created for human beings, and welcome you to israel, where we have interacted to promote greater productivity for the well-being and health of humankind.”
From seed development to the perception of the consumers of fruit-producing and end-marketing, the wood industry in the army has undergone 20 years of frost and snowfall, at a cost of nearly $200 million, and is full of the wisdom and dedication of countless expert scholars, production technicians, the great desert purple team and the marketing elite。
Plant panorama
Today, decades of hard work are ushering in the spring of the consumer market。
“the evaporation of the desert's hot sun, the concentration of more than 20 degrees of day and night temperature, and the melting of the snow mountains, give the big desert purple and black tomatoes the unique quality of production in the world.” the wood said. This coincides with the current expectations of people seeking a high quality of life。
He described the great desert purple light, from seed cultivation to demonstration planting promotion, using farmers' standardized cultivation as “shop one”, and production processing as “shop two”, which eventually allowed products to enter the end market directly, thus creating a clean source original and traceable whole-industry chain。
Today, large desert purple-ray black tomato products have been sold to markets in the south-east coast, japan, korea, the united states, germany and south-east asia, and international sales elites have joined the rare desert feature of a geographical climate。
This is just a seed planted for “desert to fertile soil, desolate to prosperity”
