Gongan County of "Jiangnan Turpan" builds the whole grape industry chain and invites tourists from all directions to pick and travel.

Gongan County is located in the south of Jianghan Plain in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. In the late 1980s, villagers in the county began to grow grapes when they were poor. After some exploration, it was successful in 1988, breaking the rumor that "it is not suitable to grow grapes in the south of the Yangtze River".

Quan Yunbao, deputy secretary of the Gongan County CPC Committee, said that in 1988, the grape planting area in the county was only 4.8mu, and since 2007, it has increased at an average annual rate of 10,000 mu. Now, grape cultivation in the county has grown to more than 110000 mu in 15 townships and villages, accounting for "half of the grape planting area" in Hubei Province, and has become the largest grape producing area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In recent years, in the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure, Gongan County has made great efforts to develop the grape industry by means of financial support, policy support and environmental optimization, and achieved rapid development. Up to now, there are 90 main bodies of grape market and 78 grape special organizations in the county, and many people rely on grapes to get rich.

Last year, the national geographical indication certification trademark of "Public Security Grape" and the general trademark of "Jingliang Field" were successfully registered, ending the current situation that there is no unified brand in the development of grape industry in Gongan County for nearly 30 years. Under the influence of the brand, Gongan County took the initiative to "touch the net" to explore the sales mode of selling online and picking up goods from offline fruit stores, and achieved full sales coverage in areas other than * and Xizang.

Liu Jun, a big grape grower in Buhe town, said that the Hubei Grape Engineering and Technology Research Center, which settled in the company, has selected 90 excellent grape varieties suitable for local cultivation, and the sales period has been extended from more than 30 days to more than 100 days. Through greenhouse planting and cold storage, grapes will be available for sale in Gongan County all the year round.

At the press conference, the ruby crystal clear wine and sweet and sour delicious grape vinegar attracted bursts of admiration. According to Quan Yunbao, in recent years, the county has attracted relevant enterprises to participate in product preservation, sales, ecological garden construction, production of grape juice, wine, production and marketing docking, forming a complete industrial chain.

Relying on the grape industry, Gongan County has formed a new form of consumption. The county carries out sightseeing picking for the whole country, and more than 20,000 tourists have been picking in the county each year in the past two years.

It is reported that during the eighth "Xingling Public Security Grape Festival", Gongan County will carry out 13 activities such as grape industry development summit forum, bicycle picking, grape marketing docking, and so on, in order to expand and strengthen the grape industry.
