Langxi County, Anhui Province: Yang Jinghua and His "Fruits and Vegetables"

Early in the morning of May 3, Yang Jinghua came to his fruit and vegetable greenhouse to work hard. In the greenhouse, all kinds of fruit and vegetable seedlings are neatly placed in ditches waiting for transplanting, and the second crop of new seedlings also grows to about half a foot.

Yang Jinghua is a university student village official. In 2015, he served as assistant secretary of the General Branch in Zhongfang Village, Meizhu Town, Langxi County. After taking office, many villagers reflected to him that they lacked the way to become rich, hoping that he could give some ideas for villagers to start a business. Therefore, graduated from Nanjing Agricultural University horticulture department, he began to explore and try for this purpose.

Planting fruits and vegetables, Yang Jinghua hand to catch. In order to ensure the success of the idea, he first opened up 3 mu of "experimental field" in Tangqiao Village, County Economic Development Zone, and planted fruit corn, fruit cucumber and fruit tomato with ecological and healthy agricultural methods. "Many agricultural products are now grown with hormones and pesticides. I hope to explore a new mode, which not only ensures the quality of agricultural products, but also innovates on this basis to make F2F (farm to family) direct supply mode. Yang Jinghua put his mind on innovation in planting technology and sales model. He allowed fruit tomatoes to ripen naturally, which was essentially different from some tomatoes on the market that used hormones to ripen.

The author understands that the price of fruit tomatoes in the market is 8-15 yuan/catty. Although the price sounds very good, the purchase price of farmers 'fields is very low, and the profits are earned by middlemen at different levels. However, after farmers use Yang Jinghua's "F2F" model, the fruits and tomatoes in the field can be sent directly to the market, and the profit space of villagers has also increased to twice as much.

At the other end of the "experimental field", the author saw another wave of mini fruit cucumbers. It's only 1/4 the size of a regular cucumber. "Fruit cucumbers need more refined management than ordinary cucumbers." Yang Jinghua opened his Planting Sutra again. It turns out that fruit cucumbers have high temperature requirements and are naturally "delicate". Nurturing seedling stage should use greenhouse to increase temperature and promote vine growth. The temperature during the fruiting period should be controlled within 32 degrees Celsius, and exhaust fans and other equipment should be used to maintain ventilation and reduce diseases.

"At present, fruit cucumbers are widely favored by consumers because of their small shape, crisp taste and rich nutrition." Yang Jinghua introduced said.

In order to broaden the sales channels of products, Yang Jinghua opened Weixin Official Accounts, established a farm micro-mall, and regularly released seasonal fruit and vegetable products and some food safety tips. That way, he can connect with villagers and clients online. In the next step, he will mobilize citizens who are willing to cultivate pollution-free fruits and vegetables to plant and cultivate ecological agricultural products together, so as to make ecological agriculture a win-win and double-harvest rich industry for farmers and users.
