At present, Longling County, the "hometown of Chinese purple skin dendrobium", has reached the harvest season of dendrobium again, the harvest in the field and the transaction in the market are very hot, and the farmers who have worked hard for a year have ushered in a happy moment.
These days are the season for harvesting fresh dendrobium strips. Dendrobium farmers cut the rhizomes of mature dendrobiums that imitate wild cultivation in the field, pick the leaves clean, classify and bundle them according to the shape, size and location of the rhizomes, and then transport them to the Dendrobium trading market for sale.
The trading market is bustling, the sound of bargaining is endless, and bundles of fresh strips are waiting for **. Dendrobium farmer Kuang Jiaxing planted 16 acres of dendrobium this year, and he brought 200 catties of fresh dendrobium strips to sell early this morning. Kuang Jiaxing told reporters that he came over at 6 o'clock in the morning, and now it has been sold out at 9 o'clock, and these fresh strips are all packaged and sold to the acquisition boss, ** It's still okay, and there is an income of more than 100,000 yuan this year.
This year, the growth of Dendrobium in Longling County is generally good, and the quantity is high and the quality is high. The fresh strips of dendrobium on the market are thick and thin, long and short, and different shapes. Jiang Zhengen, a Dendrobium farmer who went to the market to sell dendrobium that day, said: "Compared with previous years, this year's fresh noodles are thicker than in previous years. You see, the texture is very crisp and can be eaten directly as a fruit. ”
In addition to Dendrobium fresh strips, there are also a small number of Dendrobium flowers sold in the trading market. "Cordyceps flowers (a variety of Dendrobium flowers) are roasted and dried for 200-300 yuan a catty, and raw for 15-20 yuan a catty. Ms. Zheng, who is selling dendrobium flowers, said.
On the same day, Dendrobium fresh strips also attracted many foreign merchants to come to buy. Pan Xiaoyong, a Zhejiang merchant crowded in the crowd, said: "The quality of Dendrobium in Longling has been good, after all, it is the hometown of Chinese purple skin Dendrobium, we have come here for more than ten years to buy, today a total of seven or eight tons will be collected, and now five or six tons are collected, and they are processed into maple buckets, and then sold all over the country." ”
The harvest season of Dendrobium in Longling County began in November of that year and ended in March of the following year, with a total of 650,000 people are engaged in the dendrobium industry, and the planting scale of dendrobium is 4250,000 acres, 13,000 tons of fresh strips are expected to be harvested. Although the overall quality of Dendrobium fresh strips this year is good, and the market is also "booming in production and sales", the ** of fresh strips has decreased by 30%-40% compared with last year.
In many people's minds, dendrobium is a fresh herb. However, in Longling County, Dendrobium fresh strips will become a small maple bucket after baking, winding, grinding, polishing and other operations, which can not only give full play to the medicinal and edible effects of Dendrobium, but also extend the storage time, therefore, many growers will process Dendrobium fresh strips into maple buckets**.
Lu Qingmei, a villager of Hanjiashe Group in Jingzhuping Village, Longxin Township, planted 10 acres of dendrobium this year and harvested more than 10,000 catties of fresh strips, with an estimated income of nearly 200,000 yuan. However, she plans to process 60% of the fresh noodles into maple buckets to extend the sales time and convert them into higher economic benefits.
This year's dendrobium fresh strip about 5 and a half catties can be processed into 1 catty dry maple bucket, the wage is 40-50 yuan per catty, this year I left more than 6,000 catties for processing maple buckets, I can't do it myself, please ask the workers to help do. Lu Qingmei said.
The huge demand has directly driven the "courtyard economy" of Fengdou processing, which has a small investment, fast money and high profits, and many women and the elderly can earn "pocket money" without leaving home. Tao Pinghui, a 47-year-old villager from Xinzhai Village, Longjiang Township, is one of the processors behind the high-quality maple bucket. The transformation from "bronze" to "king", in addition to practice makes perfect, she also has to go to the county every year to participate in 2-3 standardized and professional maple bucket processing training and competitions for free.
I used to think that I was almost done, but after three or four times a year to the county training, I found that I had some problems in making maple buckets. For example, the slivers are not turned well and the size is uneven. After the training, I think I still learned some skills. Dendrobium maple bucket processing is of great benefit to our rural women, who can earn a little living expenses at home without wind and sun to subsidize the family, and can also take care of the family and take care of the elderly and children. Tao Ping, who is processing maple buckets at home, will say happily.
In Longling, through the establishment of a local teacher team, long-term teaching to the countryside, and precise training, a team of rural skilled talents like Tao Pinghui is constantly learning and Xi and growing. Currently, there are a total of 450,000 people engaged in the processing of dendrobium maple buckets, this year's maple buckets and dry strips are expected to reach 1.5 billion yuan, and the total output value of dendrobium is expected to reach 7.5 billion yuan.
