Anshun, Guizhou: the Road to Wealth of Ginger planted by the Old Man Yang

Another bumper harvest year. Taohuahu Village, Qibo Town, Pingba District, Anshun City, is busy. Every household is busy harvesting small turmeric. Villager Yang Sheng planted 13 mu of turmeric last year. This year, he expanded his planting to 18 mu, with an estimated income of more than 100000 yuan. He has become a famous local grower.

"originally, I had to find more than 10,000 people to grow corn and vegetables every year, and I had a tight life to support a family. Now, when we grow turmeric, the government can find a way out for us to sell. Life is becoming more and more prosperous. I built a two-story building with little turmeric. After selling the ginger this year, it will be decorated more beautifully." Yang Sheng said with a smile.

Qibo Town is a mountainous terrain, and the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure is limited by objective conditions. in order to find a new way of agricultural industry with high quality, high efficiency and increasing income, the town party committee and government are based on traditional agriculture and strive to build Qibo Xiao Huang Jiang industrial brand. The ginger planting cooperative of Qibo Town was established in 2014, with more than 200 members. This year, the town invested 1 million yuan to establish a ginger planting demonstration base in Taohuahu Village, with a planting area of more than 2000 mu and farmers' income increased by more than one million yuan.
