2 Gobi Agriculture: A new agricultural force emerging on the deserted beach strong>

If plateau summer vegetables are the benchmark of “sweet vegetables basket”, then Gobi Ecological agriculture is a new force that has emerged in Gansu's vegetable industry in recent years. In 2019, the comprehensive output value of the whole vegetable industry chain in Gansu Province was 65 billion yuan, of which facility vegetables accounted for more than half, with an output value of 37 billion yuan.

In early winter, in the vast Gobi area around Zongzhai Town, Suzhou District, Jiuquan City, Rows of modern greenhouse lined up. The 51-year-old vegetable farmer Liu Xilai is busy picking tomatoes in his greenhouse. The picked tomatoes are sorted and boxed. After 48 hours, they will take the east train and appear in the supermarkets in coastal cities.

In the 1980s, Liu Xilai immigrated from Dingxi to Jiuquan and Suzhou, where After dealing with him for most of his life, he always felt that "you can't get much money out of the ground".

Liu Xilai never dreamed that the desolate Gobi Desert became him and the villagers The "cornucopia". In 2018, under the guidance of the local government and technicians from the Jiuquan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, he built two plastic greenhouse on the Gobi Desert to try to grow tomatoes in greenhouse.

The emergence of Gobi agriculture gave him a new way to get rich—— Under the tracking and guidance of technicians for three consecutive years, one of his greenhouse earns about 30,000 yuan a year, and he can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year. Now, Liu Xilai's sixth plastic greenhouse has been built.

As of now, the total area of ​​Gobi ecological agriculture facilities in the province has reached 230,000 mu. The average benefit per mu is stable at more than 30,000 yuan. In Jiuquan City alone, 90 Gobi agricultural industrial parks have been built, covering an area of ​​112,000 mu, driving 450,000 mu of field vegetables and producing more than 4 million tons of fruit and vegetable commodities each year; a complete set of Gobi agricultural seedlings, production, storage, and logistics have been built , Sales as a whole network, become the "Northern cuisine to the south, Western cuisine to the east" distribution center.

3 Vegetable Industry: A Combination of Riches to the Country

Through years of development, Gansu Province has formed the Hexi Corridor, the Southeast and the Middle With the three major vegetable production areas in the Yellow Irrigation District, vegetable production is developing in the direction of regionalization, scale, specialization and industrialization.
