From "glass greenhouse" to "family balcony"

Planting "Plateau Summer Vegetables" enriched more than 60,000 farmers in Yuzhong

Spring is in the glass multi-span greenhouse

In the cold winter season, in the glass multi-span greenhouse of Gansu Kangyuan Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd., small rapeseed, butter lettuce, bittern, coriander and other hydroponic vegetables are growing gratifyingly. 48-year-old Zhang Hongling shuttles through it, checking whether there are pipelines from time to time. Clogged, and occasionally remove a yellow leaf. I have grown vegetables for half my life, and I am used to facing the loess and back to the sky, all covered in soil on sunny days and mud on rainy days; until I came to Kangyuan, I discovered that vegetable growers can also not be exposed to the wind and the sun, and do not need the mud in sunny days. On that day, the outdoor dripping water turned into ice, and the multi-span greenhouse had a constant temperature of 20 degrees and an area of ​​5,000 square meters. Because it was all automated, only two people were needed for daily maintenance.

This is just a microcosm of the development of Yuzhong's vegetable industry. Yuzhong is a national pollution-free vegetable production demonstration base and a key vegetable production area. It is also the birthplace and main production area of ​​Lanzhou plateau summer vegetables. The vegetable industry has become a pillar industry for farmers in Yuzhong to get rid of poverty and increase their income. It plays an important supporting role in the fight against poverty. At present, the county has more than 60,000 farmers and 240,000 farmers participating in the vegetable industry. Vegetable planting contributes more than 40% to the county’s farmers’ per capita income, which has played an active role in promoting farmers’ income.

In the poverty alleviation workshop of Gansu Kangyuan Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd., more than a dozen female workers are packing various kinds of vegetables. After being sorted, packed, and weighed by their hands, peppers, cucumbers, and celery will be delivered to the major Supermarkets, "walk" to the citizens' tables. 32-year-old Li Hong has been working here for more than 2 years. After getting up at 6 o'clock every day to send her children to school, she came to the workshop to start a day's work. On average, she packed 1,000 dishes every day, and earned more than 4,000 yuan in a month. "In the past, working in a restaurant only had an income of more than 2,000 yuan per month. Now the income is doubled, and it is close to home and can take care of the children." With the increase in income, Li Hong and her husband renovated the house and used bicycles. It is more convenient to pick up and drop off the children by changing to an electric car.

In the 5,000 square meters glass multi-span greenhouse of Kangyuan Company, rows of green vegetables make the winter full of vitality like spring. The relevant person in charge said: "In the past, planting green vegetables in the field required a lot of manpower from sowing to picking. Now, through scientific and technological cultivation and real-time monitoring and debugging, only two people can achieve batch planting of hydroponic vegetables." The reporter noted, In the roots of these lush vegetables, each row of racks has a small hole of about 5 cm every 15 cm. The roots of hydroponic vegetables are planted in it, and the lower end of the rack is connected to a pipe. The unit with less than 10 square meters in the center of the greenhouse is the "smart brain" of this greenhouse. After the staff has adjusted the pH balance of the water, the water is automatically watered every 5-10 minutes through the pipeline, and it can be planted in about 25 days. To picking, the planting cycle is greatly shortened. Now, this hydroponic vegetable has also been developed into a balcony vegetable garden, which is introduced by some families and is self-sufficient.

Teng Hui, director of the Vegetable Industry Development Center of Yuzhong County, introduced that in recent years, Yuzhong has focused on driving farmers to participate in industrial development, and vigorously promoted Kangyuan Company's "group-linked market-building base to lead farmers" to promote the industrial development model, and steadily promote Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
