On 19 september, the autumn was strong, but the vegetable base in the village of paoufou in the eight-step district of guangxi ho county remained a vibrant harvest. The long guacamole is full of vines, and the grower yao habein is travelling between the fields with the workers in order to harvest with skill and with every effort to ensure supply for the mid-autumn and the national day's “twilight” markets。

"although it's autumn, the weather is better this year, and these silk melons are good." yao fatbin said, "i planted 15 acres of silk melons this year, which are about 3,000 to 4,000 pounds." looking at full silkmelons, yao smiles with relief, “the market has been good these days, the wholesale price has been good at $3 a pound, and the harvest has been good.”
For industry to develop, marketing is key. At the agricultural trade centre in paoufou village, which is at midday, the busy schedule has not subsided, and the vans carrying vegetables and the vegetable farmers who come to trade continue to grow. “the vegetables here are of good quality, the supply is stable, we buy them here year after year, we start collecting them in mid-august, and now we buy more than 3,000 pounds a day.” yao lin, a customer from chuzhou, explained that his purchase of guacamole was mainly sold to guangdong and chuzhou. Open distribution channels have effectively led to local industrial development and increased farmers ' incomes。
According to mohamad, deputy secretary of the jinye township party committee, several cultivation models have been promoted locally in order to improve efficiency and market access. At present, it is the silk melon that was planted in mid-july, just in time for the double-edged market demand. Upon completion of the pick-up, the vegetable farmers will begin to fertilize and prepare to grow mustard, vegetable heart and other vegetables for the autumn winter season。

The “one-manufacturing” industry has become one of the main sources of income for farmers. Since the beginning of this year, the town has made great efforts to develop a quality vegetable industry through the “cooperative + base + farmer” model. To date, the total area under vegetable cultivation in the town is 31,000 acres, with an estimated annual production of more than 75,000 tons, with a value of 300 million yuan。
Looking forward to the roll-out of a truck full of silk melons, mohamad said, “the next step, we will continue to work on the expansion, quality, branding, and market expansion of brands such as ‘breeding heart’ and ‘breeding melon’, so that more quality vegetables can enter the market in the bay of hong kong and help revitalize rural industries.” (tang, jins)
