Ashan Sima, 50, who lives in Grape ditch in Turpan, has been a professional rural broker since 2005. As the main agricultural products in Turpan are grapes and mulberries, they are also called "sweet brokers". Since 2013, the area of mulberry garden in Gaochang District of Turpan City has accumulated more than 13000 mu and more than 540000 mulberry trees. Mulberry from the roadway, the field to the streets of the city, all have to rely on brokers to buy from farmers' homes. Brokers like A Shan Si Ma Yi have six groups in the grape ditch, and their mulberry harvesting footprints cover more than 70% of the 529 farmers in the Baixi Maili community in the grape ditch. Only A Shan Si Ma Yi group can buy up to 3000 baskets of mulberries from villagers every day. The addition of six groups of brokers can bring an average of 50,000 yuan to the villagers in Putaogou every day. Issued by Xinhua News Agency (photo by Hu)
