"the family is busy with the moon." as garlic wanders in the spring wind, the garlic farmers celebrate the busiest days of the year. In the town of indong, yuzhou, which is well known as “the country of garlic in the jade forest”, a series of garlic fields are as green as a sea, the gruesome garlic is in the air, the garlic farmers are collecting garlic in the fields with their hands and feet; a pick-up truck travels in and out, with the sound of the engine, the sound of drink and the laughter, and a warm harvest stamp。
In indong town, the farmers clean up their dryings and collect their garlic. Indung garlic has become an important industry for local farmers。
"the verbs here are rich in selenium, and they're unique. The harvest during this period was sold mainly as late spring garlic.” the community of the highways, with its experience, has come back from the field with a smile of glitter, "we'll put back the garlic and lay it in the yard. The villagers worked together for a day or two to complete the 1,500 kg of processing of garlic, which was then sent to guangdong and other places through logistics. Don't look at me as a small yard. During the harvest peak, more than 5,000 kilos of garlic are recovered every day. At the moment, half-dry garlic can be sold to 2. 5 to $3 a kilo, and over the next few days there will be 2,300 kilos of garlic, and the market price is expected to rise to $4 a kilo.”
Garlic harvest. Farmers laugh。
Indong town has a long history of garlic growing, where there is ample light, soil grains are well-structured and selenium is abundant, providing unique natural conditions for garlic growth. The output of the garlic coat is purple, which is so rich in fragrance and spicy that it is compassionately referred to by the local villagers as “greasy”. In particular, it has been successful in gaining national market access through the certification of national geographical indications. In 2024, a total of 18,000 acres of garlic were grown in indong, producing 36 million kilograms, with an average acre production value of $6,000。
In the town of indong, there are not a few farmers, such as ningming, who grow and process garlic in the yard. As an emerging model of entrepreneurship, the “court economy” is flourishing as a new highlight for rural economic development. Initially, the indong town people studied in depth and studied in many ways, and, taking into account the characteristics of the local soil, determined the development strategy for the large-scale cultivation of leeked garlic. Ning ming was the first to respond, having started planting a few acres, the average annual net profit was 3,500. Having tasted sweetness, he has expanded cultivation to 15 acres. He then worked together in courtyards to involve villagers in planting, harvesting, processing and marketing, forming a complete industrial chain。
Pre-processed mussels of garlic are red, fragrance is rich and of unique quality。
In recent years, thanks to the strong support of government policy, the indong township congress, in partnership with the rural sector of agriculture, has been actively promoting advanced technologies such as winter straw cover and biobacterization, and further exploring the “house economy” model. The initiative combines a fragmented workforce, building bridges between garlic farmers and farmland, and markets, bringing about a huge leap from “traditional small-scale farming” to “riching of the garlic industry in the yard”。
At this time, the acquisition of garlic from winter springs at a price of more than $12 per kilogram has become a “gold key” to the increased wealth of villagers. In 2024, the area of yuzhou was expanded to approximately 12,000 acres, with an acre production of 750 to 1,000 kg and an average of 10,000 yuan。
The secretary-general of the road community party, yang ein, described the rich garlic as a nationally certified, non-hazardous product. Every year, the town capital organizes courtyard operators and buyers to buy directly in the fields, setting prices based on different varieties of garlic and garlic. In the past few years, garlic has been good harvests, production has stabilized and market conditions have been very optimistic. In the future, it is planned to build more brands based on the development of the “house economy” and to promote the movement of garlic to overseas markets through large marketing platforms such as the “agriculture club”。
