The top students are expected to earn 2.1 million yuan this year when they return to their hometown to grow kiwifruit.

Today, Zhao Lai, a university student village official, can be regarded as a "star" in Wangjia Town, Nanxi District, Yibin City, and is deeply loved by the villagers. The top student from Sichuan Agricultural University used the technology he studied and stayed in the countryside after graduation. In 2012, he led local farmers to set up a professional kiwifruit planting cooperative in Daba Village, Wangjia Town, and began to grow kiwifruit to find a way to get rich for the elder agricultural industry in his hometown.

After three years of growth, kiwifruit trees have hung fruit this year, and the products are basically sold through picking and selling in the local market in Nanxi. It is estimated that the economic income will reach 2.1 million in 2016, which will help villagers to increase their income by helping villagers join, lease land, and hire villagers to work.

Set up professional cooperatives

The planting area is 870 mu.

When the reporter saw Zhao Lai, he had just returned from the field and his skin was tanned. Talking about the road of growing kiwifruit, his face was brimming with a happy smile. After graduating from university, he chose to return to his hometown as a university student village official, and organized and set up a professional cooperative for kiwifruit cultivation in Wangjia Town, leading villagers to grow kiwifruit. Not only that, he also through technical guidance to develop members to grow kiwifruit. Now, kiwifruit trees begin to hang fruit, and the villagers have tasted the joy of harvest.

Zhou Renshu, secretary of the party committee of Wangjia Town, said that this cooperative has not only developed the agricultural economy, but also led the local villagers and poor households to develop together. "after the establishment of the exclusive cooperative, many farmers joined. In Daba Village alone, 17 villagers joined the exclusive cooperative."

After several years of development, at present, the cooperation area of the agency is not only in Wangjia Town, Linfeng Township, Daguan Town, Pei Shi Town, Xianlin Town, but also Yibin County and even Luzhou Longmatan District, Guizhou Bijie and other places, with more than 80 members and a planting area of 870 mu. Zhao Lai said: "kiwifruit is not a high-yield period this year. It is estimated that after a high yield of kiwifruit next year, the total local output will reach 400000 jin only in Nanxi."

Kiwifruit sales are popular

The per capita income increased by 8000 yuan.

Zhao Lai showed the registered trademark "pro-yuan" kiwifruit packaging products to reporters. The gift box packaging not only looks good, but also has QR codes and other promotion methods. A box of five jin is worth 150 yuan. "the price of 30 yuan per jin looks expensive, but if the quality of kiwifruit is good, the market recognition will be high."

Zhao Lai is very optimistic about the market prospect of kiwifruit. "in recent years, the market of kiwifruit is very popular, and the market price is relatively good. In kiwifruit farms in many parts of the province, when kiwifruit is not yet ripe, it can basically be sold out through order cooperation. If businesses wait until kiwifruit ripening season to place orders, basically can not order goods. "

It is understood that since it is not a high-yield period, the income of the villagers who join at present is a little better than 20,000 yuan. at the same time, they rent the villagers' land, discuss the management area with willing farmers, and finally receive the management salary and the corresponding share of profits. In this way, when there is no risk, the income of wages is stable, but the actual income per person is about 8000 yuan.

At present, Zhao Lai is already the village director's help, and he is very confident about the prospect of driving villagers to get rich through the kiwifruit industry. "the output of kiwifruit after high yield is a mass leap than it is now, and there are still more ways to go in terms of sales and brands."
