Luzhou District: Greenhouse Vegetable Industry Driving Farmers’ Income Increase

Recently, when the reporter came to Zhanshang Village Urban Hobby farm Demonstration Park in Luzhou District, Changzhi City, he saw all kinds of vegetables growing happily in the spacious and bright vegetable greenhouses.

Zhang Zemin, a technician at the demonstration park, said, “The park adopts the method of order seedling cultivation to cultivate over 700000 plants, mainly including tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, chili peppers, and beans. The market price of a single plant is between 0.5 and 0.6 yuan, and the annual output value of the demonstration park is about 400000 yuan

In recent years, Zhanshang Village has fully utilized its unique geographical advantages and vigorously developed the green vegetable industry. In March 2022, the village will build a Hobby farm demonstration park in Chengdu, including 7 solar greenhouses and 2 multi span greenhouses, with a vegetable yield of 50000 kg.

At the beginning of this year, the village seized the agricultural season and actively planted various seasonal vegetables. Ji Guowei, member of Zhanshang Village Party Branch and Village Committee, said: “We regard Vegetable farming as an important channel to accelerate the construction of a new pattern of modern agricultural industry development and promote farmers’ income growth. We develop seedling ‘order cultivation’, characteristic planting and breeding, and vegetable deep processing industries. Characteristic agriculture has gradually become a new engine to enhance the village’s collective economic benefits and drive the masses to increase income and become rich.”
