Jinzhu She Nationality Township "Cold Water Field" Raising "Rice Flower Fish" to Become Rich

"raising fish in rice fields is a good way to save both fertilizers and pesticides. Last year, my family raised 213kg of rice flower fish in the rice field. The highest price of fresh fish was 25 yuan per kilogram, and the dried fish was also sold for 300 yuan per kilogram, making a net profit of 5200 yuan. I want to expand the scale of farming this year. " Recently, Lan Gensheng, a 60-year-old man from Jinzhu she Township, Le'an County, said with a smile. Rice flower fish is a small carp that eats rice flowers and rice worms. It is not big and its meat is tender and delicious.

People in Jinzhu she nationality Township have the habit of raising rice flower fish, but it turns out that they only raise a small number of entertaining relatives and friends. After the implementation of mountain closure for forest cultivation, farmers who used to rely on mountains to earn a living have also changed their ideas and began to develop mountain forests in a planned way to protect ecological resources. The local area is located in the mountainous area with insufficient sunshine, and the rice fields are called "cold paddy fields" by the common people. In recent years, the township has made great efforts to adjust the agricultural industrial structure, encourage farmers to invigorate characteristic industries, promote rice and fish culture projects in "cold paddy fields" according to local conditions, and increase policy and financial support to distribute fish fry to the masses free of charge. At the same time, technical personnel are also sent to provide field guidance to vigorously broaden the sales channels of rice flower fish. Last year, 60 percent of the farmers in the township raised rice flower fish in the fields, covering a total area of 8000 mu, producing more than 10,000 kilograms of fresh rice flower fish and more than 600 kilograms of dried rice flower fish, which has become a new economic growth point for farmers in the township.
