Binxian County, Heilongjiang Province: raspberries become a "cash cow" for farmers to get rich

Heilongjiang Province, as a major agricultural province with the largest amount of arable land in the country, in recent years, in order to promote agricultural efficiency, increase farmers' income, and constantly follow up the pace of agricultural structural adjustment, people in Binxian County, Heilongjiang Province have tasted the benefits of agricultural structural adjustment. Real "sweetness".

When the reporter saw Li Yaqin, a villager of Daxing Village, Changan Town, Bin County, he was explaining the planting techniques to the farmers in the village who were going to replant raspberries. Li Yachin said: "now, the county is carrying out agricultural restructuring, and the government encourages farmers to plant cash crops. Farmers who have come to learn from me originally grow corn. In recent years, there has been overcapacity in corn, and last year, the state also cancelled the purchase price of corn. Compared with corn, the income of raspberries per mu can reach 2500 yuan, which is three times that of corn. Farmers can only get rich by changing their thinking."

In recent years, Chang'an Town of Bin County has fully mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers, guided by the market, optimized the planting structure, encouraged farmers to set up all kinds of professional cooperatives, and guided farmers to plant high-quality and efficient cash crops such as flue-cured tobacco, vegetables and fruits. Chang'an Town has become the second largest flue-cured tobacco demonstration area in Houbin County after Ningyuan Town. Changan Town produced "Changan" brand dragon crown, golden red, autumn dew, raspberries, black beans and other real estate fruits are sold at home and abroad.

Li Yachin is a big grower in the village. Speaking of his own raspberries, Li Yachin opened the chatterbox. "the raspberries in Daxing Village belong to autumn berries and are one of the single-season raspberries. Last year, my family planted more than 100000 plants in 22 mu, with an output of 2500 kilograms per mu, 8 yuan per kilogram, and a net income of more than 120000 yuan. " Speaking of sales, Li Yachin looked excited: "We have no worries about selling raspberries." Every August, when raspberries are about to mature, the agent of Harbin Gaotai Food Co., Ltd. will come to contact farmers, set prices and sign agreements. Shang Zhi fruit wholesalers drive directly to the ground and rush to buy our raspberries. Because Changan raspberries are of good quality, large and sweet. Raspberries can be frozen or processed into dried fruits, paddles, wine and other products after concentrated acquisition. Raspberries are nutritious and their value is doubled after deep processing. "

Talking about the cultivation of raspberries, Li Yachin said: "Raspberries are cold-resistant and suitable for planting in the north. The cultivation cycle is short. After one-year-old seedlings are planted, they blossom and bear fruit in the second year, and three or four years enter the full fruit period, and the economic life can reach more than 20 years. The yield per mu can reach 1500-2500 kg. The management in the later stage is relatively complicated, and we cannot use general herbicides. Once used, the seedlings will die and can only be weeded manually. Fertilizers can only use organic fertilizers, so the raspberries we produce are organic green food and can definitely be eaten at ease. " "in a big supermarket, a small box of raspberries can sell for more than 10 yuan, so I am very optimistic about the prospects of the raspberry industry. Last year, I set up a raspberry planting cooperative with five households in the same village, with a planting area of 100 mu. This year, we will continue to expand the planting area, attract more farmers to join the cooperative, add new varieties and introduce new technologies. Make the paddle fruit make a big story. "

Attaching importance to agriculture and strengthening the foundation is the foundation of peace and security for the people. As a traditional agricultural county, Binxian has always put the work of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in an important position. In 2016, Binxian County will seize the rare opportunity brought by supply-side reform, give full play to the advantages of rich mountain forest resources and a good industrial foundation of beef cattle, fruits and vegetables, and flue-cured tobacco, speed up the adjustment of agricultural structure, and vigorously promote the flue-cured tobacco industry in villages and towns such as Ningyuan and Chang'an in the east, Yonghe and Penzhou in the west, forest and fruit industries in Changan and Sanbao in the south, and animal husbandry in villages and towns such as Bird River and Manjing in the north. Efforts should be made to build the agricultural industrial layout of "Dongyan, Western cuisine, southern fruits and northern livestock", so as to speed up the transformation of Binxian County from a major agricultural county to a strong agricultural county.
