This year's central document states that “continuingly enhancing the supply and security capacity of important agricultural products, such as food”, “investing in the wealthiest industries in large counties ...” as a follow-up to the policies and requirements of central i of 2025, the prefecture of mei guang has worked hard to lay the foundations for food production and economic development this year. In the vast fields of the town of chongro, in the prefecture of yumiko, about 2900 metres above sea level, there is a busy view of spring farming. At the moment, during the critical period of spring tillage, villagers from the town of gholo actively engaged in potato cultivation and planted promising seeds for the harvest of the new year。
In order to ensure the scientific and efficient cultivation of potatoes, the agricultural and rural agency of the republic of the americas has organized an in-depth training of agrotechnical specialists in potato cultivation in the commune of gholo. In the field in the village of qisha, the farm technicians, with the original potato seed, spoke to the villagers on the ground about planting techniques. From tilling land, wiring to seeding of potatoes, planting of fertilizers, farmers ' technicians have demonstrated that the villagers are truly in charge of scientific cultivation。
“our village used to grow potatoes in the traditional way from the bottom up, which led to suboptimal production. However, in recent years, under the guidance of technical experts from the county agricultural and rural directorates, we have changed the new method of planting canals, which has led to a significant increase in potato production. Previous planting methods have made potatoes vulnerable to pest and disease, but not only are these problems effectively controlled, but the fertilizer used is also supplied by the county agricultural and rural directorates, which has further contributed to a significant increase in acre production.”
The district is located in the heart of the great cold mountain, where fertile soil, abundant light and high temperature, day and night, are ideal areas for the cultivation of potatoes. In recent years, the prefecture has been active in restructuring the industry, based on its geographical advantages, and in developing the potato industry, which is dominated by the potato class 9. This year, the commune of chongquan plans to plant 1,800 acres of potato no. 9, which is expected to produce 2,700 tons of raw origin at a unit cost of 2,500 yuan per ton, with a yield of 6. 75 million yuan. Of these, 300 pounds per acre were returned to the county agricultural and rural directorate, and a total of 270 potatoes were returned. The returned seed will be distributed in 2026 to potato growers in the townships of the prefectures for 13,500 acres, 203,000 tons at the production level and 40. 6 million yuan at a minimum of 2,000 yuan per ton. After the implementation of the project, the grower could produce a cumulative value of $4,735 million。
In 2025, the county agricultural and rural directorate was known to have distributed a total of 9 million original seed “chat 9” and 140 yuan per acre of fertilizer to the villagers, followed by the recruitment of professionals to perform two regular green pest control campaigns for potatoes, as well as to further improve potato survival and acre production through a package of initiatives such as strengthening organizational leadership, organizing training and strengthening project operations management。
“our production of potato acres used to be at a maximum of 500 and 600 pounds, and since the agricultural and rural directorate provided us with new potato varieties, as well as with fertilizer and planting techniques, our income has increased significantly, with our home growing 16 acres of potatoes, which can be sold for 560,000 pounds a year.”。
The original seed “f9” has the characteristics of short-lived, high-yielding and high-quality cultivation and is well received by local farmers. In order to promote this good variety, the miguang county agricultural and rural bureau has set up several demonstration plantations in the commune of chongolo and provides technical guidance and financial support to growers. With the demonstration of potato 9, it will be extended to the county as planting techniques and varieties mature. The potato industry in mei gu county will also become an important means for local farmers to grow wealth。
“last year, we planted 1260 acres of potatoes in gholo commune, and this year we increased our cultivation to 1,800 acres, with an increase of between $10,000 and $20,000. We will use potato cultivation as an entry point to promote the modernization of agriculture, so that the farmers will be able to make the countryside look good.” kang yong, deputy secretary of the guanglo commune party, said。
The spring returns to the earth, and it is full of life. The preparation of the potato crop for spring farming is well under way in the province of yugulu. With the help of specialized technical staff and with the support of policy, farmers in gholo commune are drawing with hard-working hands a productive picture that will give new impetus to rural renewal。
