“this year, the production of three acres has reached over $15,000. It is estimated that an acre will make thousands of dollars at various costs.” after the summer season, the harvest season in the city of shanxi province, chacón county, ended, and guancant quancheng settled the score. The 21 acres of watermelon that he planted were rich in income, and his heart was filled with joy。
The family of wong chun-ming, who lived in the mountains, had only a little hillside, could not grow food to feed his family, and he and his lover were going out to work.” watermelon is now planted, and many of the squalids buy two cars, a sedan, a tool truck, and the day is as sweet as a guacamole, he says。
There are many farmers in the county who grow like yellow spring. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,000 guava families in the county, with an annual value of over 600 million yuan。
Red guards are the first to grow large-scale land parcels and gradually grow into local seed leaders. Since 1991, he's been thinking about how to grow watermelon to make the day sweet。
In 1994, red guard placed more than 30 acres to plant watermelon and placed its own name and telephone label on the watermelon, “no compensation paid” and attempted to make a brand。
At the same time, the red guards began working with agricultural experts to turn their melon fields into test fields for experts. Some of these specialists specialize in breeding, some in field management, and others in soil improvement for a long period of time。
As a result of the combined efforts of red guards and experts, the sweeter the watermelon, the better the quality and the higher the price. At the highest, a pound of watermelon can be sold to $2 to $3. He began to lead more farmers to the ground。
“i have trained a `spill long' in an area, taught him growers, and continually updated technology through training.” he said that he would choose his own “forms” and would be willing to pass on the technology to the farmers。
Watermelon is grown. To sell well, you have to develop a reputation. In 2015, the watermelon cultivation association was established in the county to consolidate the brands and harmonize the original brands into “hallow” cards; and to improve the quality and consistency of the watermelons by implementing a “ten uniform” business management model, such as technical management and packaging sales. Huang chun-ming is a member of this association。
“as long as there is a foundation for the original field, and as soon as there is training, we know how to grow it. This is the second year i've grown, and i've already earned it."。
In order to ensure brand reputation, ipa has also recruited more than 10 melon surveyors from vendors who have sold melons for more than 78 years to check the melon quality before entering the market. Each watermelon has an exclusive 2-dimensional code that can be traced directly to each household's guaran。
“now, many major cities in the country have a lot of merchants, and the watermelons in the shaolin brand are recognized by consumers and vendors.” red guard says。
