Mengjunsi Village, Gaoqing County: Development of "Fish Lotus" Mixed Culture Precision Poverty Alleviation Project

Jinan, June 20 (correspondent Liu Fengli) recently, the author learned in Gaoqing County, Shandong Province that the county Mengjunsi Village, 119 households in the village 365 people, mainly to grow wheat, corn, young people go out to work more. The original Mengjun village with zero collective economy and foreign debt is a key village for poverty alleviation and development in the province.

Since 2016, with the help of the Municipal Commission for discipline Inspection, the village has developed an accurate poverty alleviation project of mixed culture of "fish lotus root". Seventeen poor people, including Si Fengxian and Yin Xiuying in Mengjunsi Village, Tangfang Town, Gaoqing County, can receive 2000 yuan in aid-the-poor bonuses every year from the project. Through the help package of the Municipal Commission for discipline Inspection and the assistance of the first Secretary Sun Jiankai in the village, the village has embarked on a scientific development road of making the village beautiful, increasing collective income, and lifting the masses out of poverty.

Select industries to become rich according to local conditions

After the first Secretary Sun Jiankai arrived in the village, he first conducted an in-depth and meticulous investigation and study on the situation of the village and the people, and found that only by developing industry, strengthening the collective economy, and turning blood transfusion into hematopoiesis, can we take off the hat of poor villages at the provincial level as soon as possible.

There are not many resources available in the village. after previous research and thinking, Tangfang Town has the basis of planting shallow lotus root, the villagers have a sense of identity to the cultivation of lotus root, and the planting management is also relatively simple, coupled with the long storage time of lotus root. Flexible picking according to the market situation, an investment can benefit for many years, so the collective research team and the villagers' Congress voted to develop lotus root cultivation. After the meeting, the team immediately took action and registered to set up a "Mengjun Fruit and vegetable planting Professional Cooperative", striving for 350000 yuan in poverty alleviation funds, 300000 yuan in self-raised funds, and building nine lotus root ponds around the village in a week, effectively utilizing 54 mu of water. The rotten wasteland was suddenly transformed into a lotus root pond with lotus leaf fields and the fragrance of lotus flowers. On summer nights, the villagers met to play fitness and leisure by the lotus pond, and their happiness index increased greatly, which was affectionately called a "3A tourist scenic spot."

Scientific Management to improve Project income

Sun Jiankai actively communicated with aquatic experts and put more than 300,000 Loach seedlings in the lotus root pond to implement the "fish lotus root" mixed culture model. Loach not only preys on plankton, but also provides organic fertilizer for lotus root, which not only produces organic lotus root, but also reduces the culture cost, which can increase the income by 2000 yuan per mu, realizing the win-win situation of planting and breeding. In order to ensure the safe growth of lotus root and Loach, anti-bird nets, water guns, submersible pumps and other equipment are also purchased one by one. In order to further broaden their horizons and improve their professional ability and knowledge level, Mengjunsi Village adopted the method of "please come in" and "going out", led the team to visit and inspect in time, invited city and county agricultural and aquatic products experts to the village for regular guidance, and purchased professional books, and project operation and management gradually moved towards institutionalization.

Take more measures and go to the market to find a market.

In order to broaden the sales market of white lotus root, the cooperative promptly opened an official Wechat account, the growth process of "live broadcast" lotus root and Loach, so that consumers "zero distance" contact, rest assured to consume, so that their own voice, their own endorsement, and good results. The cooperative has also designed packaging, opened micro-stores, and cooperated with a number of express delivery companies to make organic white lotus root enter thousands of households through the e-commerce platform.

In addition to developing white lotus root planting projects, Sun Jiankai also introduced hand-weaving projects to organize idle women to increase their income through hand-weaving. The Mengjun Village Rural Happiness Home has been built. while the people's income has increased, the happiness index and satisfaction have also increased significantly, and the road to poverty alleviation in Mengjun Temple Village has become more solid.
