Yangping Village: the way to get rid of Poverty and become Rich in the characteristic Fruit Village

In Yangping Village, Bayang Town, Yunyang County, Chongqing City, a busy figure can often be seen shuttling through the citrus fruit forest. Whether it is pruning and pulling branches, or sprinkling irrigation and fertilization, every movement is skillful, sensitive and meticulous. This person is Xiong Dedong, a well-known name in Yangping Village. Speaking of him, everyone can't help but give a thumbs up. His efforts to learn fruit tree management technology and "teach people to fish" and lead the masses to develop citrus fruit industry to increase income and become rich should start from the development history of New Orange in Yangping Village.

Fourteen years ago, Xiong Defu, Xiong Dedong's brother, served as the village secretary of Qiyangping Village. In order to lead everyone to make a fortune, he decided to lead everyone to improve the planting of New Orange after many investigations. However, Yangping Village has been planting red oranges since ancient times. when the masses began to reject it, xiong defu cultivated it himself, tried it first, distributed seedlings, gave technical guidance, and so on. after going through many hardships, everyone finally decided to try planting new oranges.

However, the weather has unexpected clouds. In the second year of our trial planting, Xiong Defu died of serious illness. This is a very interesting story. For a time, Yangping Village New Orange development industry lost the backbone, villagers lost the "leader", the village did not have technicians, this is undoubtedly the most difficult to accept for most of the villagers who have just placed hope on New Orange seedlings but lack experience in fruit tree management technology.

The helplessness and worry of the villagers made Xiong Dedong fall into deep grief and meditation. Every time he closed his eyes, the scene of his brother leading everyone to become rich and persuading everyone to plant orange instead appeared in his mind. He decided to turn grief into strength, fulfill his brother's last wish, fulfill the promise made to the common people, be an excellent agricultural technician, lead everyone to continue to develop orange planting, and realize the villagers 'increase in production and income on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

"At that time, my brother was the only technician in the village. After my brother died, everyone was blind in planting New Orange. The village urgently needed this kind of talent. I tried to read the management logs and technical bibliographies written by my brother before his death, and tried to figure out the practice while learning. I applied the theoretical knowledge I had learned to my own fruit trees, and after I had been verified, I taught the villagers what I had learned." Xiong Dedong pointed to a thick stack of notebooks and materials left by his brother before his death.

After continuous study and exploration, Xiong Dedong mastered the scientific planting and management technology of New Orange. However, he found that there were not many villagers who took the initiative to consult him. Most of them asked him for "help" after their own handling was ineffective, and did not carry out management and prevention in advance. He opened a free fruit tree cultivation management training class in the village and shared his experience and research results to the villagers in a timely manner.

Over the past few years, the villagers have carefully managed each step from fertilization, pruning, thinning flowers and fruits to pest control according to the important growth periods of fruit trees in different seasons together with Xiong Dedong through mastering practical scientific management knowledge and technology. Everyone found that the yield of orange was higher, the quality was better, and the income increased. Yangping Village became a famous fruit village far and wide.

In order to keep up with the pace of market changes and development, Xiong Dedong began to study modern orchard management, insisted on regularly setting up fruit tree cultivation management training classes in the village, taught the development trend, management mode and labor-saving cultivation technology of modern orchard to villagers, and promoted the large-scale diversified development of citrus industry.

Xiong Dedong sensitively captures business opportunities, tests with his own orchards, calls on villagers to combine retail and wholesale, and opens fruit picking tours to the outside world, carries out various marketing experience activities such as "happy picking" and "happy farm", so that consumers can feel the joy of harvest and labor achievements on the spot, but also solves the problem of difficult sales of agricultural products and increases farmers 'income.
