Jinghong City Xinhai Cooperative Fire Dragon Fruit harvesting busy

Over the past few days, Dai farmers in Manwan Xinhai Fire Dragon Fruit planting Cooperative, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, are busy picking dragon fruits and selling them to the northeast.

This year, the cooperative has exported more than 500 tons of dragon fruit, achieving an income of 2.6 million yuan, effectively broadening the channels for increasing farmers' income.

Manwan Village, Gassa Town, with shady trees and fragrant flowers, has become a demonstration village for the construction of ecological civilization in Yunnan Province. In recent years, with the decline of rubber market prices, Yan Wenxiang, a Dai villager in Manwan Village, took the lead in establishing a professional cooperative for dragon fruit planting in Xinhai.

Cooperatives make full use of the advantages of local fertile land and rich water resources, start with eco-tourism agriculture, change the single rubber planting model, and scientifically plant 561 mu of dragon fruit. The agro-technical extension station of Gassa Town has strengthened a series of scientific and technical training in dragon fruit cultivation, management and pest control, so that 20 Dai farmers who have joined the cooperative have mastered the scientific planting technology and management essentials of dragon fruit. It tastes sweet and is deeply loved by consumers. An endless stream of city people came to the dragon fruit planting base to pick dragon fruit, which effectively promoted the development of farm music and promoted the Dai villagers to increase their income and become rich.
