On 1 february, between green vines and vines, the red tomatoes were full of branches and each of them was bright and bright in the facilities of the new village of feng village, grand lui county. Ranjova travels through the shed while he is skilled in organizing the leaves and enthusiastically introduces to the pickers: “this is a new species of strawberry tomatoes with sweet taste. Next to the shed is the tomato provence, which you can taste first."
Rankova is picking tomatoes
The picker takes the tomatoes, wipes them and puts them in his mouth, "it's not the same, it's the smell of tomatoes when they were kids!" ranjova's wife, brethren, had a basket of bamboo full of tomatoes, full of good harvests on his face: “many people come to pick each day, busy, busy, but happy in our hearts.”
The 55-year-old ranjukua, who had more than a decade of experience in vegetable growing, had been focused on the cultivation of the fruit of the holy fruit, and had reaped good economic benefits through careful management and extensive experience. However, the production and quality of growing vegetables are also affected by the increase in the number of years of cultivation and the decline in fertility in the broom soils. “soils in the shed also need `rehabilitation', and in a few years other crops will have to be replanted in order to remain fertile.” ranjova says。
In 2024, ranjeva introduced new varieties of strawberry tomatoes from the sun, with unique tastes and high market prospects. At the same time, he had a more determined idea of creating a green eco-planting model that would allow people to eat healthier and reassuring fruits. With this in mind, ranjova has travelled to bluefield to learn fermentation techniques and to explore ecological cultivation methods. "etherma fermentation is the eco-fertilizer made of pure plant materials such as maize, soybeans, wheat, oil sludge and so forth over a long period of time." ranjeva, while lifting the fermented fermentation drums in the corner of the shed, introduced that “this fertilizer not only improves the soil, but also makes the tomato taste more pure, the key is to save money or labour more than fertilizer”
In an effort to save costs and to better control the quality of the cultivation, ranjeva and bishin carried out all the work in the two huts. Starting with the planting of tomatoes in september 2024, the couple started a “house for house” life and entered the shed at dawn every day until dark. “... Strawberry tomatoes are particularly demanding for temperature, with 24 to 26 degrees celsius during the day and not too low at night.” she said that they wanted to see the temperature of the shed countless times a day, that it was cold enough to put down the warm cotton in time, that it was hot enough to roll up the ventilation, even if it rained, and that it could never be delayed. In addition to temperature control, fermentation, weeding, strangulation, whole branching, etc. Cannot be easy. The couple are also required to adjust fermentation at different nutritional rates to the size of the tomatoes and to ensure that each plant absorbs sufficient nutrients by combining irrigation and leaf spraying。
In early january 2025, the blueberry tomatoes planted by the ranjova couple were the first to mature, the fruit of the red tungsten was full of vines and fragrance. However, because of the new varieties, many do not know, the marketing has become difficult. In the face of this situation, ranjukua has come up with a free taste: he spends the day in a shed, he takes a basket of ripe tomatoes at night and sends them to relatives and friends in the county for free. And so, with good quality, the tomatoes of rankova became famous. On the eve of spring, people came to pick and buy at a price of $30 per kilogram for strawberry tomatoes and $20 per kilogram for provence, even if that was not the case. Currently, two facilities of ranjeva, one strawberry tomato and one provence tomato, each yielding between 12,000 and 14,000 kg, earning a significant income over the year。
The news that ranjova had grown tomatoes with enzymes was soon spread in and around the xinjiang village of feng village. The villagers saw him grow tomatoes of good quality, sell them widely, and improve the soil. They travelled to the sheds to study, where they asked for fermentation and techniques for new varieties. In the face of the villagers ' requests, ranjeva spoke patiently about fermenter production, fermentation techniques and shed management points and took the initiative to share her seed experience. "one person is not rich, one person is rich." according to ranjeva, he hopes to bring more villagers into the ranks of ecological growers, to introduce good varieties, to promote fermentation techniques, to increase the number of people eating green and healthy agricultural products and to enable everyone to follow the path of growing wealth with their own hands.
