The Grape Story of Gaomen Village

"the grapes are good this year and will fetch a good price." Walking into Gaomen Village, Xiaoqiao Town, Jianou City, Fujian Province, Huang Xueming, a famous grape grower in the village, told me proudly. Gaomen Village is a famous local grape village. walking on the country road, you can see that there are green vineyards on both sides of the river, and the green corridor composed of grape seedling racks extends for more than 20 miles, forming a narrow grape ditch.

The tradition of growing grapes in Gaomen Village, Xiaoqiao Town, Jianou City, Fujian Province began after the second distribution of land to households in 1991. Under the stable land policy, the villagers began to cultivate and grow grapes. Gaomen Village has a large population, little land and a weak foundation, with less than eight percent of the land per capita. The party branch of Gaomen Village actively sought the road of development, visited Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places to inspect modern agriculture, and invited provincial and municipal geological and agricultural experts to conduct on-the-spot investigation, according to the geomorphology, soil, water quality, climate, light and other characteristics of Gaomen village. experts suggest the selection and development of grape cultivation.

"when grape cultivation was introduced, many villagers had doubts and could not promote it, so they relied on the village's' two committees' and party members to take the lead in demonstration cultivation. The demonstration households benefited in the second year, and the villagers dispelled their concerns and followed up one after another. After 20 years of development, we have finally achieved the reputation of 'Grape ditch' in Gao Men Village today. " Liu Development, the old secretary of the village, said. The development of grape cultivation is a short, flat and fast project. after the initial results, the party committee and government of Xiaoqiao Town actively guided, Gaomen Village continued to promote grape cultivation, developed "one village, one product" characteristic industry, and finally created a pillar industry. At present, the grape planting area of the village has reached 2500 mu, with an annual output of 3000 tons, with an annual income of more than 15 million yuan, and radiation drives grape cultivation in neighboring villages.

Gaomen Village focuses on building brands, promoting the cultivation of "Jufeng grape" and vigorously developing the grape industry. Throughout the growing period, grape cultivation in Gaomen Village implemented bagging technology to avoid pollution and ensure quality. In addition, the quality of the grapes planted here is good, the soil is rich in trace elements, and the sunshine is sufficient. The grape reputation of Gaomen Village is gradually rising. Gaomen Village has also developed into a well-known ecological "grape ditch."

"the Jufeng grapes in Gaomen Village have good color, high sugar content, hard fruit, good market reputation and easy transportation. They are exported to big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The purchase price per jin is more than 3 yuan, and the greenhouse grape price can reach 5 yuan." Gao Men Village grape dealer you Deqian told me.
