Laohokou invests 30 million yuan in the first phase to build a Northwest Hubei distinctive sightseeing agricultural park

The once rain-dependent "dry pouch" is about to be transformed into a characteristic sightseeing agricultural park. It was learned yesterday that the industrial and commercial department of Laohokou City, cooperating with the government in attracting investment, through measures such as "two reductions and one improvement" - reducing procedures, reducing time limits, and improving efficiency - attracted Jingmen multimillionaire Lu Jianchao to invest in Bandian to build the "Northwest Hubei Bandian Characteristic Sightseeing Agricultural Park." "Speaking of the ridge land in the past Dragon and Snake years, the crops in Bandian were drought-stricken for a full year or two... Now speaking of the Dragon and Snake years, Bandian has met a man from Jingmen, a thousand mu of barren hills have become a garden, and even without planting crops there is a bumper harvest." Yesterday, Chen Junsheng, who was working at the Bandian Characteristic Sightseeing Agricultural Park of Hubei Jiayu Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., hummed a self-composed Henan zhuizi and described the great changes in Bandian.

Bandian is located in the hinterland of Zhulinqiao Town, Laohokou City, with more than 200 households and more than 700 people. Due to years of drought, crops and orchards in the hilly areas have relied on rain almost every year, and even with favorable weather, the net income per mu is at most more than 300 yuan. Many farming households abandoned their land to work elsewhere and were unwilling to return home for years.

How to turn the abandoned hills into a "flower and fruit garden"? Starting last year, the Laohokou industrial and commercial department cooperated with the government in attracting investment and drew Jingmen rich man Lu Jianchao to invest in Bandian to build the "Northwest Hubei Bandian Characteristic Sightseeing Agricultural Park."

At present, the company's first-phase 1,000 mu of transferred land has all been put in place, with 30 million yuan of construction funds injected. The 1,000 mu of wheat on the hillside land and the red sorghum order production contract signed with the Guizhou Maotai Distillery are being fulfilled, and the land transfer fee of 600 yuan per mu paid to farmers has also all been fulfilled. The aquatic products raised in the 6-kilometer irrigation ditch produced a net income of 400,000 yuan within 3 months. The first batch of 100 "steel pipe greenhouses" has been completed, and the 180-mu reservoir and 30-mu fishing pond, as well as the children's play garden and fruit picking garden, are under construction.

Lu Jianchao introduced that the agricultural park integrates scientific and technological demonstration, sightseeing and picking, and leisure vacations, and is a new type of green characteristic sightseeing agricultural park. It will replace traditional agriculture, forestry, fishery, and labor projects, provide a high-grade fitness and leisure venue, and offer a larger platform for increasing farmers' income.

Farmer Han Jiansheng said that not only is the income from transferring land high, but farmers are also rehired as workers on the estate, and a family can earn 60,000 yuan in wages a year.
