Nanling County's Vegetable Brother builds greenhouses to lead farmers to prosperity

In 2010, the city began implementing the "Vegetable Basket" project and wanted to set up a site in Nanling. Because Shao Zhongcheng's vegetable planting area did not reach the required scale, the county agricultural committee's repeated applications were not approved. With the help and support of relevant county departments, they helped him apply for land hardening, ditch and road, and farmland improvement projects to obtain bank loans, and at the same time allocated technical personnel for him. In 2011, Shao Zhongcheng invested 8.6 million yuan, transferred 1,000 mu of land, and built a provincial-level vegetable standard park, establishing the Jinpeng Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative.

Hard work pays off. That same year, the Jinpeng Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative was listed as a "Vegetable Basket" project base of Wuhu City. From plowing and sowing, fertilizing and irrigation to pest control and harvesting, agricultural mechanization was basically achieved. Walking into the plastic greenhouses of the vegetable standard park, all kinds of seasonal vegetables grown with harmless organic fertilizer methods are lush and green, presenting a delightful scene full of vitality. In order to give full play to the safeguarding role of the "Vegetable Basket" project base, while expanding the planting scale and developing conventional vegetable planting, the Jinpeng Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative also introduced new varieties such as imported broccoli, strawberries, He County red peppers, and double-crop water bamboo from the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences to meet market demand. In addition, a 700-cubic-meter vegetable cold storage and preservation warehouse was newly built for the storage and reserve of special vegetables to regulate market supply.

In addition to supplying the urban area and our county's market, some vegetables with Nanling regional characteristics produced by the Jinpeng Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative are also supplied to surrounding markets such as Tongling and Fanchang. The annual vegetable sales of the Jinpeng Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative have reached 2.5 million kg, making it a leading enterprise in our county's vegetable production. The cooperative has registered the "Jishan Fruits and Vegetables" trademark, and the watermelons, tomatoes, and broccoli grown by the cooperative have obtained National Green Food Grade A certification.
