The "raspberry wealth" will be made in Qian'an and Luanhe Village.

Ditching, transporting seedlings, planting, watering. A few days ago, the reporter saw in the south of Luanhe Village, Yanjiadian Township, Qian'an City, that more than 30 villagers were planting red raspberries, a new fruit they had never seen before.

"before and after Frosts Descent is the golden season for planting red raspberries. After a winter dormancy, the survival rate is more than 90%." Zhou Xiaomeng, the owner of the land, introduced to the reporter happily while helping to unload the raspberry seedlings from the car.

During the chat, Zhou Xiaomeng, 35, was an authentic local farmer in Qian'an. After graduating from high school, Zhou Xiaomeng began to enter the market, selling building materials and opening iron ore, which made him have a special fondness for red raspberries: "Red raspberries are nicknamed raspberries. The fruit is tender and juicy, pleasant in color and rich in nutrition. It is the 'third generation fruit' that sweeps the world and is known as the golden fruit in the international market. It is a kind of fruit, medicine, ecological utilization and other dual-purpose tree species rich in a variety of essential nutrients for the human body. in addition to fresh food, the fruit can also be deeply processed into drinks, fruit juice, fruit wine, jam, preserved fruit, jelly and so on. quick-frozen fruits are also very popular in domestic and foreign markets. " Talking about raspberries, Zhou Xiaomeng said that from the moment he came into contact with this "elf", he secretly made up his mind: let the red raspberries take root at the foot of Yanshan and by the Luanshui River.

Just do it. Starting from March this year, Zhou Xiaomeng began a tour of inspection. He successively inspected Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shijiazhuang and other places. "in one planting, the growth period can reach 20 to 30 years; compared with grapes, raspberry cultivation is more extensive, labor-saving and water-saving, strong resistance to diseases and insect pests, and low cost of production and management. In the same year of cultivation, the yield per mu can reach 500kg, with an income of 4000 to 5000 yuan per mu." Raspberry as a pioneer of China's emerging fruit industry, domestic raspberry cultivation has just started, the international market demand is large, the industrialization cooperation system has not yet been formed, the broad market prospect has strengthened Zhou Xiaomeng's confidence.

"plant raspberries and use industrialization to lead farmers to become rich together." As soon as Zhou Xiaomeng's idea was put forward, it was immediately supported by his friend Li Jing. In May this year, with a registered capital of 1 million yuan, they set up Qian'an Ruitai Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., and decided to invest a total of 80 million yuan to build an agricultural sightseeing garden with fruit freezing, import and export sales and fruit picking.

"this year, we introduced 100000 high-quality red raspberries from the Shenyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and began to plant them in the tourist park, all of which will be planted in two days." Busy planting in late autumn has become a unique scenery on the banks of the Luanhe River. Zhou Xiaomeng said that the construction of the sightseeing park is divided into two phases, the first phase covers an area of 200mu, the second phase covers an area of 300mu, and 300000 red raspberries are popularized and planted on 293mu. After the project reaches production, it can produce 976000 kilograms of red raspberries a year and achieve sales income of 19.52 million yuan.

"Quick-frozen single raspberry fruit and processed jams, wine and beverages have become indispensable non-staple foods in people's life in western countries. at present, the annual demand in the world market is 2 million tons, with a shortfall of about 1 million tons. with the improvement of domestic living standards and the change of consumption concept, people pay more attention to the nutrition and health function of food. Juice soft drinks are replacing carbonated drinks. Raspberries are catering to this demand. Domestic demand for raspberries will also soar. " Zhou Xiaomeng said confidently that he would also set up farmers' cooperatives to lead the surrounding villagers to share the "raspberry wealth."
