Sichuan online news (liu xiaoling, journalist zheng zhiho zhang zhongqing, photo report) on december 14, the villagers were digging and washing ginger. This year's price is about $20 a pound, and chengdu's merchants have ordered 500 pounds of chon。
There are more than 150 families in the village. Through the cultivation of chon-chung in the anti-season period, min-fu village has developed a “one village, one item” specialty, with an area of 1,300 acres。
This niche industry dates back to the 1980s and 1990s, when there were sporadic ginger cultivation in the village. In around 2000, village cadres took the lead in trying to plant early-earth ginger against the season. In min-fu village, chon, also known on the market as "boiler ginger", comes from a special planting method. Villagers plant pipes in large sheds or slopes, then use boilers to boil water, and circulate through them to warm ginger, thereby contributing to their anti-season growth。
"the planting of boiler ginger looks like hot water, and the actual technical requirements are high. Temperature management is critical, weather, soil, etc. Vary, and the high and low temperature adjustment of each piece of land affects the production and taste of early ginger.” the deputy director of the village council of min fukumura has made it clear that, because of the anti-seasonal listings, the market is popular in zhongqing, chengdu and so on, prices can often be several times higher than those of ordinary ginger。
In recent years, “boiler ginger” has also faced a new competitive situation with farmers competing to imitate cultivation in the ryoshan and chongqing fields. This year, mikimura has a new exploration. The village has built its own freezer to keep a flexible stock of ginger seed, both to reduce the impact of the price volatility of ginger seed and to adjust planting and listing times, as appropriate。
At the beginning of november this year, the first early days of the village, kang, came to the market almost two months earlier. “we bought more than 20,000 tons of ginger at a time when the price was low, of which 5,000 tons were stored in the village and its surrounding freezers. The harvest cycle runs from november to june of the following year.” it has been strongly stated that, although the price of ginger this year is somewhat lower than last year, the cost of the ginger seed is lower than last year and has just been sold more than last year。
In the critical energy supply of the “boiler ginger”, the old-fashioned cost of burning hot water with coal has increased considerably as coal prices rise. In the past, the price of coal was around $1,500 a ton, and more than 2,400 tons this year. Based on the requirement of 1 ton of coal for the growth cycle of one ton of ginger, the cost of energy alone for one ton of ginger this year is $900, while for each acre, 25 ton of ginger is required. This directly lowers the profit of kangnon。
How do we break down? Currently, the local government is planning to invite experts to the village for green energy experiments such as electricity and gas. There are also villagers trying new sources of energy. Unlike other coal boilers, the villagers roger's boilers burn biological agents. "you see, it's healthy, and it saves money." roger points to his own boiler, and the control panel outside the boiler is like a computer, which can control temperature and control it more easily。
Last year, roger used 20 tons of ginger to "test" this bioenergy boiler. This year, the cost of coal has been reduced by about one third. Recently, roger ordered a more powerful bioenergy boiler to replace another coal boiler. Liu hong, under the leadership of his peers, was moved to try a new photovoltaic boiler。
The village places great emphasis on the development of marketing channels, and many people in the village spend years running and selling. Kang-o-pu has opened a shivering sign, and videos such as the daily planting of ginger and the digging of ginger will be released, and the fans will be introduced to her family's kang-tae, a number of internet users will consult her about it。
“boiler ginger” cultivation also provides jobs in the surrounding area, and every time it grows and digs, the fields are surrounded by villagers who work, earning between $70 and $80 per day. The 15th group, liu yuping, is one of them. After lifting out of poverty in 2014, liu yuping made $78,000 a year to work on the kang-zai plant。
“the land resources available to the villages of the former rich villages, with only 3 points of land per person, as a result of the reform of the village-level formations and the integration of neighbouring village groups, have been further expanded to facilitate the spread of radiation in the villages of the former rich villages.” the secretary of the new towns party said that the next step would be to support the steady expansion of the village of mukumura and to encourage more villagers to become rich。
