Summer is the season when fruits are on the market in abundance. Suiyang County's special fruits are "competing for freshness" on the market, which not only enriches the "fruit plates" of the citizens, but also puffs up the "money bags" of farmers, and a picture of the prosperity of the people is spread out.
Walking into the fruit planting base led by the Yaquan Community Economic Cooperative, the rich fruity fragrance fills the entire mountain, and the pear branches are wrapped in paper bags one by one, under the shade of layers of green leaves, it looks very gratifying.
"When you pick, you must pay attention to it, you must handle it gently, and you must not pick it with your backhand, which will damage the fruit branches and flower buds and affect the next year's yield." In the fruit base, more than 10 villagers carried baskets on their backs to pick between pear trees, and Wei Zhiyou, the person in charge of the base, was busy guiding the workers to pick, transport, pick, and pack the pears of "Sucui No. 1" on the spot.
"Our 'Sucui No. 1' pears were picked from July 3, and more than 10 workers worked every day, picking about 1,000 catties a day, and about 20 days of picking, with a total output of more than 40,000 catties." Wei Zhiyou said that after the "Sucui No. 1" pear picking is over, the base will also usher in the "98-1" pear picking, and the whole picking process will continue until the end of August.
The fruit planting base of Yaquan Community Economic Cooperative was built in 2019, covering an area of more than 200 acres, with two existing pear varieties, among which, "Sucui No. 1" pear has attracted many merchants to purchase by virtue of its thin skin, tender meat, sweet and refreshing taste, and sufficient moisture, and has become the "rich fruit" of local rural revitalization.
"The development of the pear industry in our village is indeed very good, weeding, fertilizing, fruit picking and other things, there is work all year round, and the salary income is more than 10,000 yuan a year." Bao Pinfen, a villager, has been working at the base, and his salary income plus the income from the transfer of land has made his life full and stable.
In recent years, based on resources and location advantages, Yaquan community has taken party building as the guide, adopted the model of "community party branch + joint-stock economic cooperative + real economy + farmers", vigorously cultivated characteristic agriculture and brand agriculture, worked the planting of local characteristic fruits, and continuously supported and strengthened the village-level collective economic industry, and drove farmers to directly or indirectly participate in the development of the pear industry with the sustainable development of the collective economic scale industrial cluster, through the integration and linkage of the village collective economy and farmers. Realize that villagers can not only obtain planting benefits in the development of the village collective economy, but also enjoy more collective benefits.
"Yaquan community empowers the fruit industry through its own brand 'Yaxian Vegetable' and drives the development of the fruit industry. At present, the pear industry has achieved initial results, mainly in the form of independent picking and wholesale and retail, sold to Zunyi City and Suiyang County. Feng Dengyue, Secretary of the General Party Branch and Director of the Neighborhood Committee of Yaquan Community, Yangchuan Street, said, "Next, we will promote the quality and efficiency of the pear industry through technological upgrading, build a high-quality fruit base, and actively explore the integrated development model of agriculture and tourism such as sightseeing and picking, so as to further strengthen the collective economy and help rural revitalization." ”
Industrial revitalization is the foundation and key to rural revitalization. In recent years, based on the advantages of agricultural resources, Suiyang County has continued to adjust and optimize the structure and regional layout of the fruit industry, solidly promoted the quality and efficiency of orchards, continuously improved the income of fruit farmers, and strengthened the cultivation of the main body, and promoted the development of the whole fruit industry chain as a whole.
At present, the county grows more than 40,000 acres of high-quality fruits, with dozens of fruit varieties in different seasons such as peaches, plums, loquats, pears, etc., and is expected to put into production an orchard area of 26,000 acres in 2024, with an annual output of 35,000 tons.
Next, Suiyang County will continue to focus on spring flower appreciation, summer and autumn fruit tasting, continue to create a number of collective leisure picking, tourism, farming experience in one of the characteristic agricultural and cultural tourism attractions and products, promote the deep integration of fruits and cultural tourism industry, truly make "small melons and fruits" into a "big industry", promote agricultural efficiency, increase farmers' income, and pave a "sweet road" for rural revitalization.
