On 14 january, he entered the vegetable shed in the village of the western village of the huangzhou well shop in anyang city, with green eyes, ripe spinach blades spreading, strong roots and glamour. In the shed, the workers travel through a full room, where a series of manoeuvres, such as harvesting, sorting, bundling, basketging, etc., are skilled and their faces are filled with the joy of harvest。
"i planted two sheds totalling four acres of spinach, one acre yielding 3,000 pounds, which is the fifth." the planter luqiu smiles at the return, “this year, spinach is a good price, a pound is a fifty-six, 20,000 dollars is a pound, and five is a hundred thousand dollars a year
The short-lived, high-yielding and cold-resistant nature of spinach production makes its economic benefits significant. The small spinach, which not only drums up the grower's “money bag”, but also provides a better place for the workers at the door. "i work here every day, making $780 a day, taking care of my family, and making money, it feels good." the villagers of the village of du hado, li min ying, spoke in a simple and honest manner about the convenience and satisfaction of close employment。
Good quality and stable supply capacity has attracted many buyers to the well-store spinach industry. The local “order farming” model, which provides easy bridges from the ground to the market, guarantees both freshness of vegetables and a stable market for growers. “the spinach leaf here is thick and sweet, and its quality has been stable and particularly popular in the market.” zhang chun, “we have worked with growers for a long time, we come directly on orders every day, we have to load several cars each time, and it will soon be sold back”
Behind the harvest is the solid support of scientific cultivation and fine management. In order to boost the production and quality of spinach, technical staff from the vegetable sector of the inner yellow county are organized to reach out to the field and provide full process guidance to growers. “we shall conduct regular training in planting, infrequent field inspections and monitoring, with a focus on guiding growers to the precise management of water fertilizers in accordance with the different stages of spinach growth, in order to prevent common pests such as froste and greyy.” wing soo jun, a vegetable grower in wellstown, said that with solid technical support, farmers were helped to solve their production problems and to make spinach both productive and affordable。
Today, the area of spinach growing in wellshops is over 200 acres and has developed a virtuous closed circle of “technical support+order security+ brand making”. From piping within the sheds to stable marketing at the market end, from increased harvests by individual farmers to cluster development of whole-town industries, small spinach is becoming a powerful feeder for rural revitalization and a constant source of “green” energy for local agricultural efficiency and farmers。
“we will then continue to work on tracking services, providing more advice on the optimization of varieties and on access arrangements in line with market demand, helping farmers to sustain a steady increase in their incomes, and making the town-specific spinach brands a real `big industry' for the country to rejuvenate.” wang su said。
