Morel Mushroom Project Settles in Tuxiang Town, Fengjie, Chongqing

For a long time, Tuxiang Town in Fengjie County, Chongqing, has actively guided the local people to vigorously develop distinctive agricultural industries, making distinctive agriculture a pillar industry for the people to get rich. In order to speed up the pace of adjusting the agricultural industrial structure, further enrich the varieties of edible fungi cultivated, and accelerate the application and promotion of new edible fungus varieties and new technologies, Tuxiang Town in Fengjie County, after investigation from multiple sources, successfully introduced a morel mushroom cultivation project, with Xinjiang Tianshan Jun Biotechnology Co., Ltd. responsible for experimental cultivation. The first trial planting was chosen in Yanzhi Village, with 20 mu of land transferred, involving 11 registered poor households in cultivation, and each household is expected to increase income by 20,000 yuan.

Next, the company will bring in personnel and technology to process and produce mushroom spawn locally, driving and bringing along more impoverished households to plant morel mushrooms. The company will uniformly implement protective-price purchasing, giving mushroom farmers a “reassurance pill”, and drive impoverished households to shake off poverty and become rich as soon as possible.
