Shenmu can reap more than 10,000 yuan per mu when growing turmeric.

Wang Haijun's ginger

The quality of ginger is good.

This year, Wang Haijun, a characteristic grower in Shenmu County, succeeded in planting Sichuan turmeric and made a new breakthrough in the field of characteristic planting.

Ginger is an indispensable condiment in daily consumption, and it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Shenmu is not produced locally, and most of the ginger eaten comes from Shandong, Sichuan and other places, and the price is more expensive. Wang Haijun, 39, has been engaged in characteristic planting for many years. In recent years, he has rented more than a dozen greenhouses in Xisha migrant workers' community, planted some valuable medicinal materials such as Radix Isatidis and Gastrodia elata, and has achieved success in characteristic planting and accumulated a wealth of experience. This year, he set his sights on the cultivation of ginger, using a greenhouse to experiment with small areas of ginger.

Wang Haijun said: according to the price of ginger this year, one mu of land can earn more than 10,000 yuan, which is more cost-effective than planting other crops. Now the experiment is successful, and it can be planted on a large scale in the future.

The author learned that the price of ginger on the market this year is about 6 yuan, which is lower than that of last year, but Wang Haijun is still very optimistic about the prospect of ginger. Therefore, he newly leased 20 mu of land to prepare for the large-scale development of ginger cultivation. "I plan to build a greenhouse to grow ginger in a large area and strive for a place in the ginger market in Yulin in the future." Wang Haijun said confidently.

In recent years, Shenmu has constantly encouraged and guided the masses to adjust their planting structure, develop high-yield cash crops, and a large number of farmers have changed their ideas and developed the cultivation of characteristic crops, medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, which has truly achieved the "win-win" goal of increasing agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income.
