At the everyday dining table, chives may just seem like an ordinary condiment. However, in Bazhou Village, Wuping Town, Fengdu County, they have blossomed into a significant industry that is powering rural revitalization and enabling villagers to increase their income and achieve prosperity. Truly, the “green onion” is brimming with hope!
Chive Planting: Making the Land Yield ‘Gold’chives
When stepping into the chive – planting base in Bazhou Village, as far as the eye can see, the lush, emerald – green chives sway gently in the wind, instantly refreshing the mind. Villagers are busily engaged in fertilizing and ploughing the land, getting everything ready for the next batch of chive plantings.
“I spread fertilizer in the base, and I earn 8 yuan per acre. I can make over 100 yuan a day, and I can work here for 10 months a year. My income is quite stable,” said villager Zhang Zhengyan with a smile.
Thanks to its superior natural conditions and a scientific planting approach, Bazhou Village has established a chive – planting base spanning 1,960 acres. Moreover, it has constructed an integrated automatic water – and – fertilizer sprinkler – irrigation system, a chive – washing plant, and other facilities. This has effectively realized the development of a full industrial chain, covering every step from planting and management to processing and sales.
Innovative Model: Double Income from Farmer Dividends and Wages
The chive industry in Bazhou Village not only provides villagers with nearby employment opportunities but also brings about a diversified revenue model.
“The village collective invested 1.18 million yuan through central financial bridging funds and distributes dividends at a rate of 6% annually. At the same time, farmers can invest in shares at 400 yuan per mu. In this way, they can not only receive dividends but also work at the base, achieving multiple benefits,” said Wang Bo, the secretary of the Party branch of Bazhou Village.
Villagers can not only earn money from land transfers but also find employment right at their doorstep. This has significantly improved their income and quality of life.
A Promising Future: Building the Premier Chive Village in Chongqing
Currently, the chive industry in Bazhou Village has developed a large – scale, intelligent, and industrialized business model. In the future, it plans to continuously expand the planting varieties, develop rotation industries such as coriander, pepper, and rape, and even introduce the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials to create a diversified agricultural base.
“We aim to build Bazhou Village into the top chive – industry village in Chongqing, enabling more villagers to benefit and further promoting rural revitalization!” Wang Bo stated with confidence.
One simple chive has leveraged an entire industry and enriched the lives of the people. The successful experience of Bazhou Village is offering new perspectives for rural revitalization, allowing villagers to lead an increasingly prosperous life. Kudos to this remarkable village, and here’s to its continued success!
