During the series of hills in sunshine town, chianglong county, south-west province, a once highly desolated desert slope has now been greened by ricin。
On 27 march, workers were busy collecting the last fruit from a 2,000-acre ricin plantation of the lifon cooperative, full of berries full of branches, which were subsequently transferred to the processing site via drones。

The head of the cooperative, jiang ji-ryu, stood by the dehumber and watched the golden seed fall from the machine, with the joy of a harvest. She explained that this year's ricin harvest was in its final stages, with a total production of over 200 tons, over 70 tons sold and a net revenue of $5. 6 million. “in the first place, i expected an acre to earn $100 to $200, and now i'm over $500 to $600, and i'm satisfied.”

The harvest is nearing its end, and new cultivation is already taking place on adjacent desert hills. On another desert hill, 20 minutes away from the lifon cooperative, the new grower is nesting and planting with workers. He began planting on 20 march, working between 10 and 20 people a day, and planned to plant 1,300 acres, which is expected to be completed within two months. "we're not worried about selling, and general jiang is sure to sell it, and she'll recycle it."。

From last year's initial two-household test and sporadic land plot layout, seven growers have now followed up and grown in series, and the ricin industry has gradually expanded in light town, from more than 4,000 acres to more than 13,000 acres in just one year。
“we will continue to expand our cultivation, and the people around us intend to follow us.” jiang jiayi expressed the wish to use all the waste mountains of shining town in order to cover the waste slopes with vegetation and to provide additional income。
The ricin cultivation not only survives idle deserts, but also gradually changes the ecological and developmental landscape of the local areas of typhoid desertification. The old desert mountains became the industrial base that boosted the population。

The director of the centre for agricultural services of sunshine town made a presentation: “a year since the introduction of the ricin industry, the slopes have indeed changed from being unsuspected to being the present. There are currently 13,000 acres of ricin industry in the town, which spends approximately 50,000 working hours throughout the year at a total cost of approximately $6. 7 million.”
"we have a local worker who earns 120 dollars a day and takes care of his grandson." the local worker zhang yunjin laughed。
It was described that the town of light is located in the low-hot valley of the northern zone, where unique water heat conditions allow the output to be of excellent quality and markets competitive. Locally, it is not limited to mere planting, but is active in devising industrial chain extensions that will drive the industry to move from “good production” to “good chains” that will make the ricin industry more solid. “now we are also actively targeting three of the more interested ricin processing firms, seeking to turn the ricin industry into a specialty advantage of light town.”。
