Yuxi City: Modern Green Agriculture Protects Lake Health

In recent years, Yuxi City has accelerated the adjustment of agricultural planting structure, transformation of agricultural production mode, strengthening the control of agricultural non-point source pollution, focusing on the reduction of fertilizer and pesticide, ensuring the steady improvement of the quality and safety of agricultural products, and effectively promoting the green and high-quality development of the “three lakes” basins of Fuxian Lake, Xingyun Lake and Qilu Lake.

It is reported that in order to promote the green development and transformation and upgrading of agriculture, and help the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution and the construction of ecological compensation mechanism in the Qilu Lake basin, Tonghai County pilot promoted green income insurance in the Qilu Lake basin last year, and coordinated the promotion in the way of government guidance, market operation, and voluntary participation of farmers. The premium per mu is 480 yuan, of which 80% is financial subsidies, and 20% is self paid by farmers. The vegetables covered by green income insurance mainly include four varieties: Chinese cabbage, lettuce, oilseeds, and Shanghai green vegetables. They are protected at a price of 4000 yuan per crop. If the selling price of a crop is less than 4000 yuan, farmers will be compensated based on the price difference.

“After green income insurance, vegetable farmers need to plant according to the vegetable varieties and management technology provided by leading enterprises, and when the vegetables are mature, leading enterprises will purchase and sell them according to the market conditions at that time.” Huang Sihua, a staff member of Yuxi Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced that this is to guide farmers to change the industrial planting mode, so as to transform the production of agricultural products from “small and scattered” to “large subject, large platform” mode, The quality has been improved towards a green and organic direction.

Our previous batch of 6.3-acre cabbage in our family has participated in green income insurance. Although the market has only affected the income of over 1000 yuan per acre, fortunately there is an insurance company to cover it, otherwise the risk will have to be borne by ourselves. “Yang Xiaoling introduced that the second batch of cabbage planted now also continues to be insured. After participating in the green income protection, technical personnel of leading enterprises regularly went to the fields to give guidance and urge the use of Manure. Their own vegetable growing technology was improved, and the vegetables planted were also better than before.

At the end of last year, the green and ecological Napa cabbage planted by Haihu Community, Ninghai Street, Jiangchuan District, was concentrated on the market, but the market situation was not good. As Haihu Community, as one of the pilot areas for income (income) insurance of green organic agricultural products in Yuxi, bought insurance for vegetables planted by vegetable farmers, so on the day of selling Napa cabbage, the co insurance body paid premiums to vegetable farmers as agreed, and the income of vegetable farmers was guaranteed.

Entering the planting base of Yunnan Yunxiu Flower Co., Ltd. located in Xiahui Village, Hexi Town, Tonghai County, the shed full of “snow mountain” roses is budding, and workers shuttle among the flowers to harvest “beauty”. The entire planting base adopts a soilless cultivation mode, and the workers seem to be in a fresh cut flower workshop, providing great convenience for work.
