SciDev.Net (Reporter Zhao Wuqiang Chen Wenlong) "this peach is delightful!" It looks like you're going to drool! " On the morning of May 31, in the Rouge Peach Garden in Shuangyong Village, Xihe Town, five or six villagers who were picking peaches were talking happily.

Shuangyong Village, once one of the five municipal poor villages in our district, was lifted out of poverty by the end of 2015. Qiu Dong, secretary of the party committee of Xihe Town, said in an interview with reporters that planting rouge crispy peaches is a long-term industry to ensure accurate poverty alleviation in Shuangyong Village. At present, the village has set up a professional cooperative of rouge crispy peaches, planting more than 500 mu of rouge crispy peaches.

Peach trees slightly taller than adults, mature peaches, red through powder, such as rouge, attractive color.

"this year, we are only trying to hang the fruit, and the estimated output is 20,000 jin. It can be said that the cultivation of rouge crispy peaches has been successful!" Owner Li Guohong told reporters that Taoyuan will be put into large-scale production next year, and the output is expected to reach 200000 jin.

"Tang Mingyu and Zhang Yunzhen told you to plant less Baogu and take good care of the peaches. Now do you believe it?" Li Guohong smiled and said to several villagers that in the future, professional cooperatives will uniformly purchase crispy peaches, and the economic benefit will certainly be better than planting Baogu.

Tang Mingyu and Zhang Yunzhen are villagers of 9 societies in Shuangyong Village. Tang Mingyu's family planted more than 100 peach trees, and Zhang Yunzhen's family planted 50 or 60 peach trees, all of which are members of professional cooperatives. Because they don't believe that growing peach trees can make money, Tang Mingyu, Zhang Yunzhen and some villagers have paid little attention to learning skills and managing peach trees. This year, their peach trees only have a few fruits. "A peach costs four or five yuan, and next year we will strengthen our management and plant good peaches." Seeing the results of the peach orchard with their own eyes, villagers such as Tang Mingyu and Zhang Yunzhen were moved. "in the future, we must learn planting techniques and manage peach trees well."

Qiu Dong said that Xihe Town strongly supports professional cooperatives to become bigger and stronger, and plans to expand the planting scale of Rouge Crispy Peach to 1000 mu to create Chongqing's "first Village of Rouge Crispy Peach" to help villagers increase their income and become rich.

It is understood that this year Shuangyong Village rouge crisp peach picking period will last until mid-June.
