The Yellow River Town Goes on the Path of Upgrading Its Characteristic Industries

2023-10-26

Frost has passed, and autumn is gathering. In the greenhouse of Qianqu Village, Wanghong Town, Yongning County, Ningxia, grapes have already been harvested, but Yang Maowen, the head of Dehezhongbang Fresh Fruit Production and Marketing Professional Cooperative in Yongning County, has not been idle. At around 10 a.m., several villagers came to their homes and asked Yang Maowen for advice on the pruning techniques of new grape varieties. Yang Maowen picked up the pruning shears and talked while working until noon before taking a break. In recent years, he has become accustomed to this situation. Wanghong Town is located on the banks of the Yellow River, with convenient irrigation and sufficient sunlight. It is a major agricultural town in Yongning County. More than a decade ago, some farmers took advantage of local natural conditions to build greenhouses and grow grapes, forming a certain scale of industry. However, as the aging and homogenization of grape varieties become apparent, the local grape prices continue to decline, leading to a decline in the industry. In recent years, Ningxia has vigorously promoted the construction of ecological protection and high-quality development pilot areas in the Yellow River Basin. In this process, focusing on "local specialties" and promoting industrial improvement and efficiency has become a key focus of agricultural development. The facility grape industry in Wanghong Town has also ushered in a turnaround. In the past, the grapes planted by villagers had no unique characteristics, and when the market was not good, the merchants were unwilling to harvest them. In order to prevent the grapes from rotting in the shed, villagers could only use tricycles to pull the grapes through the streets and sell them at low prices. "Guo Yongbing, the secretary of the Qianqu Village Party Branch, said that in recent years, the town has encouraged growers to study the market and gradually replace traditional grape varieties with new varieties that are highly recognized by consumers, such as Giant Rose and Miguang, The average annual yield of grapes per greenhouse has increased by more than 30%. Yang Maowen told reporters that most villagers have not seen these new grape varieties before, and they have many concerns when updating and replacing them. In order to dispel the doubts of the villagers, Yang Maowen and other large growers took the lead in digging up their old grape trees and planting new varieties of grape trees. They also introduced more advanced pruning techniques and management concepts to improve grape quality. After the new variety of grapes matures, they are quickly sold out and the purchase price is relatively high. Seeing the benefits, surrounding farmers began to update their varieties and actively learn planting techniques from large farmers. The government of Wanghong Town takes advantage of the hot iron and promotes industrial development by improving the infrastructure construction of grape planting parks, constructing cooperative and small farmers to develop together. At the same time, it plays the role of technical talents such as technology specialists and rural "soil experts" to accelerate the promotion of new varieties and technologies. In a greenhouse in Nongfeng Village, Wanghong Town, grape trees are neatly planted in a row near the root of the wall. Long branches sway along the roof of the greenhouse, forming "arches". There is ample space under the branches for labor to pass through. This greenhouse belongs to Na Weihua, the technology specialist of Yinchuan City. A few years ago, when he introduced this grape trellis style called "Big Crown Rare Planting" to Wanghong Town, he scared many growers. Some growers simply pursue yield and plant hundreds of grape trees in their greenhouse, while like me, only a few dozen can be planted. Even so, when it comes to comprehensive accounting, the advantages of the new framework are very obvious. Due to the long branches, there are more grape clusters growing on a single grape tree, ensuring yield. The new frame style ventilation and light transmission are particularly suitable for planting high-quality grapes. Most importantly, due to the large space, tractors and other equipment can be driven into the shed to complete the most labor-intensive driving
