Greenhouse cantaloupes enjoy a bountiful harvest

During the midsummer season, in the cantaloupe greenhouse of Xinxing Village, Xiangyang Town, Tongjiang City, melon vines stretch freely, and under the leaves, tender green and translucent green cantaloupes are waiting to be picked.

This year, Xinxing Village made full use of idle greenhouses in the village, focused on the development of green industries, and explored the characteristic planting industry of cantaloupe based on the model of “party branches+cooperatives+growers”, driving more than 10 households to join the cantaloupe industry through labor and other means, achieving an organic combination of rural revitalization and industrial development, and focusing on creating a “sweet cause” in grassroots rural areas.

This year, the production capacity of cantaloupes planted per acre has reached 10000 kilograms. We have chosen to plant high-quality varieties of Bi cantaloupes, which have a soft and delicate taste after maturity, sweet and tender water, mild properties, are not cold or dry, suitable for the elderly and children to eat, and are durable. As long as they are not broken or cracked, they can be stored for at least half a month at room temperature. “Wang Lianmeng, Secretary of the Xinxing Village Party Branch, said,” We have signed a supply agreement with supermarkets to open up sales.

Wang Lianmeng said that Xinxing Village will continue to adhere to the guiding principle of party building in rural industrial development, and take measures to drive and cultivate wealth leaders through cooperatives. It will coordinate land resources, market advantages, and vigorously develop characteristic planting projects such as cantaloupes and peanuts. It will encourage and guide the masses to plant and develop characteristic “greenhouse” industries according to market demand and local conditions, promote characteristic planting to bloom everywhere, and continuously expand channels for farmers to become rich, Revitalize rural areas with new vitality.
