Ningxia Xiji potato achieved an output value of 1.6 billion yuan in 2015.

"using the newly improved Qingshu No. 9 variety and following the practice of scientific and water-saving planting methods by agricultural staff, I earned more than 20,000 yuan from planting potatoes in 2015, double that in 2014." Recently, when Ma Guobao, a potato grower in Luozhuang Village, Xinglong Town, Xiji County, calculated his annual income, he repeatedly praised the benefits of modern potato cultivation.

"in the past year, the output value of potatoes in Xiji County reached 1.6 billion yuan, increasing the per capita income of farmers by more than 1500 yuan." The person in charge of the county's agriculture and animal husbandry bureau said that we should pay close attention to the opportunity of the state launching the potato staple grain strategy and the autonomous region listing Xiji County as a trial county for potato staple grain development. Xiji County will strengthen the construction of a three-level seed potato breeding system, and strive to promote the transformation and upgrading of the potato industry to increase farmers' income. At present, an improved seed breeding system with industrial and intensive production of virus-free seedlings and original seeds, cascade propagation of original and first-class species has been initially formed, and the promotion area of virus-free seed potato has reached 700000 mu.

In order to make "Jindou" cash in time and become the real gold and silver visible to farmers, Xiji County, relying on the advantages of "hometown of Chinese potatoes" and China's well-known trademark brand, strives to build a fresh potato e-commerce export system of "Internet +". Through the mode of "enterprise + base + peasant household" and "branch + cooperative + peasant household", we will cultivate more than 300 leaders of modern agriculture and vigorously expand the marketing market. Ningxia Jiali Potato seed Potato Trading Center with a storage capacity of 100000 tons and three professional potato wholesale markets in Taiwan, Xinying and Tianping have been built in the county, with an annual export of more than 600000 tons of fresh potatoes. Fresh potatoes and their products are sold to more than 10 provinces in China, such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, and enter Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other international markets.
