Signing single selenium-rich garlic, Wang Guoxin got rid of poverty in two years.

These days, Wang Guoxin, a farmer from Wantan Village, Ledu District, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, is patiently waiting for a garlic sales order to be signed with Enlu Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a deep processing company in the district. In fact, Wang Guoxin has been supplying garlic to this enterprise for three years, which can be regarded as an old friendship, but every time he does not hold the signed order in his hand, Wang Guoxin will not feel at ease.

A few years ago, Wang Guoxin was so poor that he barely provided for his college children on his meagre income from farming and working. In 2014, the District Poverty Alleviation Bureau set him up with a deep processing enterprise in the county to supply garlic in the form of orders. Since then, Wang Guoxin began to concentrate on managing 3 mu of garlic fields in his home. Two years later, Wang Guoxin and his family got out of poverty. Last year, Wang Guoxin's garlic sales revenue was 29700 yuan.

Ledu District of Haidong City has a tradition of growing garlic, and purple garlic is the most famous, coupled with the local unique selenium-rich soil, this famous garlic has been plated with gold. However, due to the fluctuation of garlic market price and other factors in recent years, the enthusiasm of local farmers to grow garlic is not high, and the planting area has been reduced for a time, and selenium-rich garlic has encountered a problem on its way to grow into a rich peasant industry.

Mei Jianglong, director of the poverty alleviation bureau of Ledu District, who has been thinking about how to do a good job in industrial poverty alleviation, is also well aware of the difficulties encountered in the development of selenium-rich garlic industry. "to turn the selenium-rich garlic industry into a poverty alleviation industry, we have a very good foundation for development, but the difference is that there is no effective extension of the industrial chain, and what is lacking is the leading enterprises that can promote the development of the industry." Mei Jianglong said.

In 2014, with the support of poverty alleviation funds, the selenium-rich garlic Industrial Park in Ledu District was completed, and Enlu Biotechnology Company, a garlic deep processing company, was introduced. Through the mode of "enterprise + peasant household + base", we should redo the selenium-rich garlic industry and cross this big hurdle on the way of the development of selenium-rich garlic industry. In order to arouse the enthusiasm of farmers to grow garlic, the government and enterprises jointly put forward the strategy of free seed supply, free technical guidance, order purchase, and precision poor households can enjoy fixed income dividends.

The reason why Wang Guoxin wants to concentrate on managing his family's garlic field is to get rid of poverty as soon as possible by growing garlic, and on the other hand, he has really felt the real benefits. He calculated the account for the reporter with his finger: the cost of planting garlic in an acre of land was about 3000 yuan, and the seed was given free of charge, and this cost was saved; through scientific planting, the output per mu could be increased by about 1000 jin, and an increase in production was an increase in income; and the order purchase price was also higher than the market price. compared with the situation in which we may not be able to make money a few years ago, we all have a bottom in our hearts, and it is false if we are not active again.

After several years of development, the deep processing product of selenium-rich garlic in the industrial park, "selenium-rich black garlic", has been sold to Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places, and the supply is in short supply. Chen Liang, general manager of the company, told reporters: "with the improvement of the garlic market and the successful sale of selenium-rich black garlic, the enthusiasm of local farmers to grow garlic began to recover gradually. In 2016, the planting area in the region increased by more than 2000 mu over 2015, and it is estimated that it will continue to increase this year."

Today, like Wang Guoxin, there are more than 3000 households in Ledu District who have become relatives with enterprises, of which 905 are poor. Turning the selenium-rich garlic industry into a poverty alleviation industry and a rich farmer industry is just around the corner.
