In the golden autumn season, the thousand acre mushroom base in Baiyanghe Village, Sanchahe Town, Luliang County, Yunnan Province is just right for the abundant scenery, and villagers are harvesting mushrooms in the fields. Taking advantage of the high price, I hired more than 10 workers to intensify the harvesting, "said villager Bao Xianglin with a smile on his face. The average yield per mu is about 3 tons, and it is expected to earn more than 300000 yuan from selling all of his mushrooms. As an advantageous vegetable production area in Yunnan, Luliang is a high-quality vegetable supply center in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and an important production base for "transporting vegetables from the south to the north" and "transporting vegetables from the west to the east" in China. It exports over 10000 tons of vegetables per day to more than 100 large and medium-sized cities across the country, with an export rate of over 93%. Relying on its unique three-dimensional climate and solar thermal resources, after years of development, Yunnan has achieved a balanced supply of vegetables throughout the year, ensuring that people can eat fresh vegetables all year round. Enriching the 'vegetable basket' of the masses, Yunnan has a solid foundation: the province's vegetable categories cover 16 families and 45 categories, making it one of the regions with the richest vegetable categories in the country; There are 19 vegetable categories with a planting area of over 200000 mu, and 10 categories such as chili, Chinese cabbage, and radish account for 56.7% of the vegetable planting area in the province. The main sales channels for Yunnan cuisine include "Yuncai entering Beijing," "Yuncai entering Shanghai," and "Yuncai entering Guangdong. Nowadays, Yunnan has established export vegetable trading and distribution centers mainly in Kunming and Tonghai for South Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as distribution and trading centers mainly in Luliang and Yanshan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta. Nearly 70% of the province's vegetable products are sold to more than 150 large and medium-sized cities across the country. This is a vivid portrayal of the development of the vegetable industry in Yunnan Province, and also a footnote to the rise of characteristic agriculture in the Yunnan Plateau. The brilliant sunshine, fresh air, clean water sources, and diverse landforms endow Yunnan's agriculture with inherent development advantages. Yunnan is transforming its resource advantages into a development advantage and making efforts in "new", "special", and "green" aspects. Avocado prefers light and warmth, is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and is known as the "forest butter". In the past, almost all of our country's avocados were imported. Now, Menglian County in Yunnan Province has become one of the largest areas for avocado cultivation in China, with a planting area of 121500 acres. The expected fresh fruit output for the 2024 season is 19500 tons, and the total output value is expected to be 1.98 billion yuan. The diversity of climate and biology in Yunnan has created advantages such as diverse fruit varieties, superior quality, and the ability to be marketed at different times, enriching the "fruit plates" of the people across the country. In 2023, the fruit orchard area in Yunnan Province will remain stable at 12.3 million mu, with a yield of 13.81 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%; The agricultural output value was 56.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.5%. By innovating a series of institutional mechanisms to promote new quality productivity in agriculture, Yunnan Plateau characteristic agriculture has become another typical model of modernization of characteristic agriculture. Qu Tianyao, Deputy Director of the Office of Yunnan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in order to play the card of "plateau characteristic agriculture" well, Yunnan has identified the "1+10+3" key industries. 1 "is food; 10 "refers to 10 characteristic industries including tea, flowers, vegetables, fruits, nuts, coffee, traditional Chinese medicine, cattle and sheep, pigs, and rural tourism; '3' refers to the tobacco, sugar, and natural rubber industries. Focusing on each key industry, Yunnan has established a special team, formed an expert team, formulated a three-year action plan and supporting policies, built a number of key bases, cultivated a number of leading enterprises, and adhered to a regular scheduling mechanism. Qu Tianyao said that the agricultural output value of the 14 key industries mentioned above accounts for over 75% of the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in the province. Nowadays, plateau characteristic agriculture has become an important support for promoting the economic development of Yunnan and an important source for helping farmers achieve sustained and stable income growth. In 2023, the planting area and output of tea, fresh cut flowers, nuts, coffee, traditional Chinese medicine, tobacco, and natural rubber in Yunnan Province will continue to rank first in the country. The output value of the entire industry chain of 14 key industries will exceed 2.5 trillion yuan, and the added value of the primary industry in the province will increase by 4.2% year-on-year, driving an 8% year-on-year increase in per capita disposable income of rural residents and a 14.8% year-on-year increase in per capita net income of poverty-stricken population. Yunnan adheres to the principles of promoting agriculture through quality, promoting agriculture through green initiatives, and strengthening agriculture through branding Li Yan, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Yunnan Province, said that Yunnan will continue to take the "Ten Million Project" as the guide, resolutely safeguard national food security, farmland protection, and prevent large-scale poverty relapse, focus on the central task of increasing farmers' income, make up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, leverage advantages, and ensure safety, promote the high-quality development of plateau characteristic agriculture, and effectively promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Colorful Yunnan is accelerating the painting of the era's landscape of plateau characteristic agriculture. (New Society)
