Camellia oleifera blossoms to become rich

"it is said that there are 99 mountains, and the beautiful scenery of the peaks and forests enjoy the wonders. Ten thousand mu of tobacco sea surges with gold waves, and camellia blossoms all over the hills. " This song shows the charm of wild camellias in Tujie Town, Weining Autonomous County.

In early spring, along the winding mountain road, the Camellia oleifera trees all over the mountain in Xinguang Village, Rabbit Street Town, are getting greener and greener in the early spring sun. Stretching for more than 10 kilometers of Liangzi, there are a large number of wild Camellia oleifera trees growing on the slope. When spring is in full bloom, ten thousand mu of Camellia oleifera competes for Yan Dou Yan, becoming a beautiful scenery. Camellia oleifera is not only seen but also used, and has become the "get rich flower" of the masses, which is a new way for Rabbit Street to explore the transfer of Camellia oleifera industry to increase people's income and become rich.

In the process of the development of Camellia oleifera, the role of the leader should not be underestimated. Li Xianjun is the famous "king of Camellia oleifera" in Tongjie Town.

From a country doctor to a leader in getting rich

In the Camellia oleifera planting base of wild camellia planting cooperatives in Tujie Town, there are labor scenes of people coming and going everywhere. Some villagers who work in the base are busy weeding Camellia oleifera seedlings, and some are busy fertilizing tea trees.

Li Xianjun is the responsibility of the wild camellia planting cooperative in Tujie Town. At the age of 40, he is simple in appearance but full of wisdom.

When it comes to the reasons for planting Camellia oleifera, Li Xianjun is in high spirits.

Li Xianjun, originally a rural doctor, runs a drugstore. By chance, when he went to Fujian to study, he saw camellias all over the mountains. After consultation, he learned that these camellias and fruits were used in the deep processing of cosmetics and had a high market value. Thinking of the wild tea trees that can be seen everywhere in his hometown, Li Xianjun came back and began to think about how to tap the value of wild tea trees in his hometown.

After a period of cultivation and processing, Li Xianjun took the tea oil extracted for the first time to the Guizhou Forestry Research Institute for monitoring. the monitoring results showed that the oil extracted from local wild tea trees had high nutritional value and contained vitamin e needed by the human body. very suitable for consumption.

After the preliminary work was ready, in 2010, with the efforts of Li Xianjun, a professional cooperative for wild camellia planting in Tujie Town was set up, with a registered capital of 1 million yuan, and a land contract agreement was signed between the cooperative and the villagers' committee. 1300 mu of barren mountains and land were contracted as experimental bases.

In 2014, Li Xianjun went to attend tea fairs in Wuhan, Yiwu and Guiyang. Rabbit Street Camellia oleifera, which contains 15.6% vitamin e, was very eye-catching at the tea fair. It was sold to guests at the tea fair at a price of 120 yuan per jin, winning praise from tea merchants.

Li Xianjun said happily: "the wild Camellia oleifera transformed three years ago has now hung its fruit. The income of a tea tree is between 20 yuan and 30 yuan. Excluding the cost, the benefit is very considerable." Henceforth, Rabbit Street Camellia oleifera became a hit and quickly went to the market outside the mountain.

The barren mountains are green and the people are rich.

Today, Rabbit Street Camellia oleifera base has planted 10, 000 mu of Camellia oleifera, transformed more than 3, 000 mu of wild forest, more than 1800 mu of newborn forest, 300 mu of seedling base, and cultivated more than 400, 000 seedlings of improved varieties of Camellia oleifera. In addition to satisfying the planting of the base, tea seedlings are also supplied with high-quality seedlings. Camellia oleifera seedlings are exported to Hezhang, Panxian and other surrounding areas.

When spring is in full bloom, Rabbit Street Mayor Liangzi 10,000 mu of Camellia oleifera trees, not only attracted a large number of tourists to enjoy the scenery, but also become a "cash cow" for villagers to get rich.

"these mountains used to be barren mountains, but now they have planted Camellia oleifera trees, which can not only preserve the green mountains and rivers, but also increase economic income." Li Xianjun said that Camellia oleifera industry has a long chain and high comprehensive utilization value. in addition to selling tea oil, tea withered can be sold to local farmers as feed at a price of 1.2 yuan per jin. In addition, there are many deep-processed products to be developed, at the same time, tourism agriculture can also be developed.

It is understood that tea oil is known as "King of Oil" and is a kind of healthy vegetable oil. The wild Camellia oleifera in Rabbit Street has the advantages of thin skin, high fruit hanging rate and high oil yield. The oil extracted from Camellia oleifera seed is rich in many trace elements needed by human body. At the same time, Camellia oleifera seed can also be used as cosmetics, soap, margarine, hair oil, Vaseline, mechanical lubricants and other raw materials, the market prospect is broad.

Don't forget to be rich before you get rich.

Li Xianjun, who became rich first, did not forget the villagers. He thought that people who were rich were really rich. Li Xianjun has been thinking about how to cultivate a new industrial growth economy and promote rural economic development and farmers to get rich.

At present, there are 120 people working in the Camellia oleifera base, all of whom are nearby villagers. "in the past, when the people were idle, they had nothing to do, but now when they have finished their farm work at home, they can also go to the base to earn money, which not only solves the surplus labor force, but also increases the economic income of farmers." Li Xianjun said: Camellia oleifera is a new industry. by picking Camellia oleifera from their own mountain forests and selling it to cooperatives, one mu of wild tea garden can probably produce more than 1000 jin of fresh fruit. According to the contract purchase price, ordinary people's Camellia oleifera can achieve economic benefits of 2000 yuan per mu.

Talking about his plans for the next step, Li Xianjun said: "the cooperative will gradually improve the construction of the Camellia oleifera industry, select and promote new varieties of Camellia oleifera by combining the length of time, extend the Camellia oleifera industry, vigorously promote the transformation and upgrading of the Camellia oleifera industry, create a new, green, and environmentally friendly Camellia oleifera industry, radiate the whole village to plant Camellia oleifera industry, and promote farmers to get rich and increase their income." Li Xianjun hesitates about the prospect of wild camellia professional cooperatives. He hopes to make the camellia industry bigger and stronger.
