Tea oil tree: the "cash cow" of the villagers under the hemp car

On December 8, Chen Lin, a villager of Ma che Xia Village, Xinwo Town, just pulled 60 kilograms of fresh camellia oil home from the town's oil press, when he was bought by Hangzhou merchants who had been waiting for a long time at 40 yuan per kilogram. Like Chen Lin's family, it can be seen everywhere that camellia oil is sold out by merchants as soon as it is squeezed out.

Ma che Xia village is 6 kilometers away from Xinwo town government, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the air is fresh, and the perennial temperature is lower than 5 degrees in the county seat. With their unique natural ecological advantages, local villagers plant high-quality camellia oil trees on barren hills. Through scientific management, tea oil trees bear a lot of fruit every year. Camellia oleifera is generally picked within 5 days after Frosts Descent, and the oil can be extracted after shelling and drying, and the oil yield is as high as 27%. With the continuous improvement of people's quality of life and health concept, green and ecological camellia oil has become a hot commodity for citizens. This year, the village has had a bumper harvest of tea oil seeds, with a total output of about 25 tons, with considerable economic benefits. The tea oil trees in the mountains have really become the cash cow of the local villagers.
