How does the hairy grape knock on the door to get rich?

Sometimes it may not be reliable to rely on the mountain to make ends meet. Located in the mountainous area of Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County in northern Guangxi, it is such a place where soil and water is difficult to support the other. The only Mulao Autonomous County in the country, the karst area accounts for 53% of the total area of the county, and the rocky desertification in the mountainous area is serious, and the wild hairy grapes climbing randomly on the rocks are the only "resources."

For thousands of years, the hairy grapes all over the mountains have fared for themselves. At that time, "a generation of honest officials" became the county magistrate of Luocheng, advocating local minority villagers to use wild fruits instead of grain to make wine, hairy grapes began to come in handy, but only for farmers' own brewing and self-use. It is only in recent years that the small wild fruit with a special sweet taste in the acid has knocked on the door to get rich and become the "fruit of poverty alleviation" of the poor.

Who is the most accurate about the value of hairy grapes? Wei Xianwang, a "crazy old man" in Lile village, Sibao town.

"in fact, it's not because I have much vision. I was forced to do it." Wei Xianwang, 55, said. Because there are many mountains and little land, and it is difficult to grow crops in the cracks in the rocks, it is common to plant a basket on a slope, and the development of aquaculture is too far from the market. So he had to go to the county to learn skills and repair bicycles on the street. Wei Xianwang did not expect that the crude wine brewed by farmers themselves was also very popular in the city. The mountain village I live in lacks everything, and there is really no shortage of hairy grapes, which are all over the mountains.

After seeing the potential of Mao grape and calculating the details, Wei Xianwang returned to the village in 2001 and traded his family's only 3 mu of fertile land for 50 mu of Stone Mountain with his neighbors. In the village of Lile, where every inch of land is rich, everyone thinks that Wei Xianwang is "crazy."

Since then, the villagers saw the "crazy" Wei Xianwang plunging into the stone mountain, digging pits, pillars, planting seedlings and pruning, and the hairy grape seedlings gathered on the stone mountain from all directions to become a vineyard. Spring buds spit green, summer shade, golden autumn fruit, three or four years later hairy grapes enter the high-yielding period.

What are you most worried about when you engage in special planting? It is a market, but Wei Xianwang never worries. A winery in the county digests about 8000 tons of gross grapes every year, and vendors continue to buy it in the surrounding du'an, Yongfu and other counties. "over the years, hairy grapes have never been unsalable, with an average annual income of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, which is much better than repairing bicycles in the county."

The successful attempt of "crazy old man" Wei Xianwang has led to local villagers. Today, there are more than 1/3 kinds of hairy grapes among the 150 households in his village.

Li Nailu, an agronomist of Luocheng County Fruit Bureau, told reporters that the roots of hairy grapevines are very developed, thin soil can hold tight, can effectively control soil erosion, and plays an important ecological role in rocky desertification areas. At the same time, the hairy grape is still a "poverty alleviation fruit", with a market price of 3 to 4 yuan per jin, a yield of more than 1000 jin per mu and an income of more than 3000 yuan per mu.

The local party committee and government guide farmers to develop poverty alleviation industries. Hairy grape is a unique project. In 2004, experts from Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences selected the bisexual flower "Yemei 2" without pollination, which greatly reduced the labor cost of planting.

Last year, Wei Xianwang changed all unisexual grapes to "Yemao No. 2". "at that time, the most difficult thing was pollination. The stone mountain was so deep and shallow that it could hardly stand. If you have a better variety, of course you have to change it. "

Wei Xianwang was injured and slightly disabled when he was young. Wei Fengang, two years younger than him, made the vineyard even bigger, creating a "myth" of an annual income of one million yuan.

The reporter went to Wei Fengang's "super vineyard" and saw that three barren mountains with serious rocky desertification were covered with hairy grapes, the buds were slightly green, and cement piles stood on the exposed grayish-brown stones. the crisscross wire above looks like a "spider web". "it's all hairy grapes, more than 300 mu," Wei Fengang said, pointing to the grapevines. "in summer, the mountains are all green, and many people in the county come to play by car."

While Wei Fengan showed the reporter around Mao's vineyard, he got even: his gross income exceeded 1 million yuan a year. "I don't take all this money. I ask the poor families in the village to help with pruning. When they are busy, they have to hire 60 to 70 people, each with a daily wage of 85 yuan. I have to pay 20,000 to 300,000 a year."

In Luocheng County, Xiao Xiaomao Grape is knocking on the door for poor people to get rich. More than 5000 farmers in the county have planted nearly 80, 000 mu of Mao grape. Relying on the "poverty alleviation fruits" grown in the cracks in these stones, more than 8800 people from more than 2200 poor households have embarked on the road of getting rid of poverty, and at the beginning of this year, more than 1500 poor households signed up to grow hairy grapes.

According to the person in charge of the county poverty alleviation office, in order to encourage poor households to develop the hairy grape industry, the county finance gives 600 yuan per mu of material subsidies, including seedlings, cement poles, and iron wire. "Poor households only need to invest more than 2000 yuan per mu, and hairy grapes enter a high-yielding period three years later. Invest in long-term benefits at one time. "

Pan Qiulin, head of Luocheng County, said that although hairy grapes are not unsalable at present, the county is considering the continuous expansion of the planting scale, and plans to introduce another beverage factory ahead of time to expand the sales of fresh fruits of hairy grapes, so as to ensure that the industry is in place with the market.

The hairy grape industry is the epitome of industrial poverty alleviation in Hechi City, where Luocheng County is located. Hechi is one of the cities with the widest poverty and the deepest poverty in Guangxi. in order to enable the poor people to obtain "hematopoietic function" through industrial development, Hechi will create "ten million industries" during the 13th five-year Plan period. including 1 million mu of "three special" fruits, 1 million mu of high-yielding Camellia oleifera, and 1 million mu of longevity ecological selenium-rich agricultural products base. "these industries are aimed at the 'gap' of the market, enhance the uniqueness and brand of agricultural products through supply-side reforms, and drive poor people to shake off poverty and become rich," said Hu GE, director of the Hechi Poverty Alleviation Office.
