Recently, the air in Feishui Village, Xiaoguan Township, Suiyang County is filled with fresh fruity fragrance, and the plum trees are lush and green, and the "May Crisp" is wearing a purple coat and white frost, and the round body bends the branches, revealing a fresh energy. When you bite into it gently, it is even more crisp and crisp, and the flesh is sweet and sour.
"Our fruit is already ripe, and we must remove the grass before picking it so that it is time to harvest it. Everyone should pay attention to safety, and also be careful not to cut the fruit. "With the recent rainfall, high humidity in the fields, and fast weeds growing under the plum trees, Yu Changkang is busy with several workers to prepare for the first sale this year.
Yu Changkang, as the person in charge of Suiyang Manguoyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., has been committed to planting plum industry since the establishment of the company in 2012, and has transferred 1,000 acres of land to plant May crisp, crisp plum and bee sugar plum. From planting, management and harvesting, every link is strictly controlled, constantly pursuing the dual improvement of quality and yield, and also providing a large number of jobs for local farmers.
"Since the company settled in our village, I have been working here, and I usually help with weeding and planting seedlings. I have 70 yuan a day, I work about 20 days a month, and I have more than 10,000 yuan a year. Villager Qian Hongying said.
It is understood that the average altitude of Feishui Village is more than 800 meters, the light is sufficient, the soil is permeable, and it is not easy to accumulate water, which provides good natural conditions for the growth of plums.
"Our fruits are mainly sold to major wholesale markets and e-commerce platforms in the province. The May crisps are starting to ripen, and we started picking them on July 2nd and can continue until the end of August. Next, there are bee sugar plums and green crispy plums, and now many fruit merchants are consulting about the output and unit price. After the opening of the park, tourists will come to pick it in person, and they will come and return with joy. Yu Changkang, the person in charge, said.
There was also a fruit wholesaler from Meitan who was checking the ripeness of the plums, discussing the best picking time and transportation plan with Yu Changkang, and he was full of praise for the quality of the plums in Feishui Village.
"I do fruit wholesale, we have been working together for four or five years, and his plums are big, high in sugar, crisp in texture, quite good! When it is ripe, it will start to stock immediately. In previous years, 8,000 catties were purchased each time, and until the end of plum picking in one year, the purchase volume was about 200,000 catties. Li Tianying, a fruit wholesaler in Meitan, said.
Rural revitalization, industry first. In recent years, based on the actual situation, our county has closely focused on the goal of "increasing agricultural efficiency and farmers' income", promoted the adjustment of industrial structure, continuously improved the comprehensive capacity of the industry, and made the characteristic industries better and stronger, which not only enriched the "fruit plate" of the market but also puffed up the "money bags" of the villagers, and helped rural revitalization with the "sweet" industry.
It is reported that the county has a planting area of more than 40,000 acres of high-quality fruits, with dozens of fruit varieties in different seasons such as peach and plum, loquat and strawberry. In 2024, it is estimated that the orchard area will be 26,000 mu, with an annual output of 35,000 tons.
