In recent years, relying on the unique climatic advantages and soil, Lijia Village, Guojia Town, Dehui City, has grown peppers with high aroma and spiciness, forming an industry and driving the employment and income of villagers. Walking into the Deli Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative, the peppers in the greenhouse are full of branches, full of color and luster, and the growth is particularly gratifying. Villagers are picking ripe peppers, and the whole greenhouse is busy. The person in charge of the cooperative said: "The villagers who work here can earn about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year. ”
In the cooperative, the workers have a clear division of labor, and on the one hand, the workers classify according to the customer's standards and requirements, and on the other hand, they pack and pack the sorted peppers, and on the other hand, someone is responsible for handling, loading and unloading...... Everyone is skillful and cooperative.
Yu Limin, secretary of the party branch of Lijia Village, introduced that pepper planting is a typical "short, flat and fast" efficient agriculture, and it is also a labor-intensive industry. From transplanting, management and protection to mature harvesting, each link requires a large amount of labor, which is conducive to driving the employment and income of villagers.
The cooperatives here are busy, and the family farms are just as busy there. In the mornings of the past few days, there has been a long queue of trucks outside the Xu Lei Family Farm, and the greenhouse is also a busy scene, with workers busy picking peppers, and then packing, packing, weighing, and transporting them directly.
"The varieties of peppers that are picked now are particularly popular in Shouguang, Shandong. After arriving in Shouguang, it was transferred to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. There are many merchants in Shandong who come to harvest this pepper every year. Xu Lei, head of the family farm, told reporters. At present, it is a good season for chili sales, and the daily output of 30 canopy film chili peppers in the family farm has reached 4,000 kg to 5,000 kg, which is favored by merchants because of its excellent quality and quality standards. Since its establishment, the family farm has been committed to growing high-quality peppers, and after more than 4 years of development, the annual income is nearly 500,000 yuan.
Xu Lei introduced that the farm insists on using farmhouse fertilizer as the base fertilizer and biological fungus fertilizer as an auxiliary fertilizer to ensure that the pepper nutrients are sufficient, the quality is better, the taste is better, and the yield is higher. Under his leadership, many farmers in the surrounding areas have also chosen to plant this variety of peppers, and the planting scale has reached nearly 100 buildings. The varieties are unified, the output is gradually increased, and there are higher requirements for sales. This year, the farm has set up its own vegetable purchasing point and also helps other growers sell it. At present, more than 25,000 kilograms of chili peppers are sent away from the purchasing agency every day. According to the latest market price, the daily trading volume reached more than 100,000 yuan. Today, Xu Lei Family Farm has formed a one-stop model of planting, production and marketing, and its role in helping farmers continue to be prominent.
The hot purchase and sales have led to an increase in the income of local villagers. Cai Shimei, a villager, said that not only the villagers of this village, but also many farmers from surrounding towns and villages also come here to work, and the pepper picking and sales are particularly busy, starting work at 5 a.m. and working until about 8 p.m. every day. In a year, from pepper seedling, transplanting, field management and protection, to picking, packaging, and sales, the per capita income increased by 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
"The village implements hourly workers, with an hourly wage of 12 yuan, and each person earns more than 100 yuan per day. The vigorous development of the pepper industry has driven nearly 20 farmers in Lijia Village to participate in pepper planting, and the annual labor volume has reached more than 1,000 person-times. Yu Limin told reporters that Lijia Village has been planting chili peppers for more than 30 years, due to the fertile soil and careful management, the chili peppers are of good quality, and the fruits are more and the peppers are large and thick, and the taste is crisp and tender, which is favored by foreign merchants. Over the years, the continuous development has not only made Lijia Village a famous pepper planting village in Dehui City, but also exported Guojia Town's peppers to Shandong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other cities.
The chili pepper industry has developed more and more prosperously in Guojia Town, and the villagers have tasted the sweetness of increasing their income and are more energetic. Guojia Town will also rely on economic cooperation organizations such as Lijia Village Deli Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative and Xu Lei Family Farm to give full play to the demonstration and leading role to promote the pepper industry to standardize planting, large-scale development, industrialized operation and brand sales.
