Early in the winter, a small area of green — the rosemary planted in the antananarivo village — came to harvest when it entered the village of ant-sentry in the town of midian on the side of the red river autonomous state of yunnan province。
Rosemary is a spiced plant, aromatic oil extracted from flowers and young branches, widely used in such industries as food, medicine, cosmetics, etc. The market is promising and of high economic value. “this year, 200 acres have been planted throughout the village, earning about $4,000 per acre, two seasons a year, earning more than $800,000, and collecting them in time for the good weather.” the deputy secretary-general of the anbsin village says man-yang。

Prior to the development of rosemary cultivation, agricultural land in the ant-siding village was inaccessible, difficult to cultivate, and water was difficult to water, largely dependent on the weather for food. In recent years, a number of units, including the tobacco sector in the construction of water districts, have invested successively in the construction of plowing roads and water cellars in villages, the effective improvement of local infrastructure conditions, and the laying of a solid foundation for the development of the villagers ' diversity, not only in terms of water security but also in terms of transport。
Rational use of arable land and the mobilization of labour are among the biggest problems in border villages. At the beginning of 2023, rosemary cultivation was introduced in ant-sentry villages, thanks to the efforts of manhongyang and other village cadres, after full study. “the high rate of rosemary activity, low water availability and drought-resilient are effective solutions to most of the cropping problems on the slopes.” according to mandarin。

In order for rosemary to take root in the ant-wit village, man-yang, while learning its experience, has travelled to kunming on several occasions to learn technology and has been increasing the productivity of rosemary trees by laying pipes on the ground and building water pools. In december, rosemary from ant-sentry village first harvested, producing about 2 tons of acre, at a cost of more than $1,800 per ton of fresh branches. Villagers, on the other hand, have been employed at the “door to the house” with income ranging from $100 to $200 per day。
Following the success of rosemary's cultivation, many of the country's neighbours came to visit and study and were patiently taught by mandarin. He said, “when cultivation increases, the village intends to invest in the construction of processing plants so that rosemary can both green the hillside and drum up the villagers' `money bags'.” (li jing bi)
