Greenhouse technology brings new possibilities for wealth

From our traditional agriculture thinking, winter is the slack season for agriculture, but with the emergence of greenhouse technology and its promotion, more off-season vegetables and fruits have been put on the market . For example, in many villages in Xinjiang, many farmers have begun to use greenhouse to plant fruits and vegetables, so that fruits and vegetables can be listed on a staggered peak, thereby achieving higher benefits .

In the hillside facility agricultural base in Wugong Township, Yining County, Xinjiang, Yang Shengxi’s greenhouse is completely different from the ice and snow outside, and it is a spring of life. This and a northern hillside facility agricultural base was built in 2010. Since its completion, Yang Shengxi has been growing greenhouse vegetables here. Now he has become a local greenhouse planting expert.

Yang Shengxi said that the output of peppers he planted in a shed this year can reach about 1.5 tons, and if calculated according to the current market price, it can reach an income of tens of thousands of yuan. After the peppers are harvested, he can also grow cowpeas, and if they go on the market at the end of March 2021, he can make another profit.

In the past two years, Wugong Township, Yining County, has actively guided the masses to develop facility agriculture, changed its traditional single agricultural structure, and used greenhouse technology to achieve counter-seasonal listing of fruits and vegetables, thereby allowing farmers to have a more ideal income.

In addition to traditional greenhouse planting and sales, for example, Heshuo County also uses the feature of greenhouse planting to develop tourism picking projects. In the gardening farm in Tewulik Town, Heshuo County, the grower Chen Mingjie grows strawberries here , And then he will provide picking projects for the visitors.

Actually, Chen Mingjie planted greenhouse vegetables in 2010, and he started planting strawberries in 2016, and he tasted the sweetness in his first attempt. It is true that Chen Mingjie has expanded his planting scale, and currently he has grown a total of 4.5 mu of strawberries. In 2019, with the help of local rural tourism, special sightseeing tours, and experience tourism development opportunities, he made his own strawberry greenhouse into a strawberry picking garden. Now he has an income of more than 1,000 yuan every day, and the benefits are very satisfactory.
