Nanning, Xinhua News Agency, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- "Open up and activate" the industrial chain and rejuvenate the colorful silkworm village.
Xinhua News Agency reporters Zhou Ke and Mao Siqian
A few days ago, Luo Xianshu, a 62-year-old villager from Xinpo Village, Dacai Township, Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi, stepped on a sewing machine.
Recently, when the reporter followed the Guangdong-Guizhou cooperation team to Xinpo Village to interview the recent development of the silk industry, he met Luo Xianshu, who was busy. She told reporters that she volunteered to come to the village silk quilt factory as a sewing worker. This move caused quite a stir among the villagers.
I have an old bone, and I can 'change my career' at the door of my home! Luo Xianshu, who has always made a living from farming, couldn't imagine it.
It turned out that the silk quilt factory that had just been built in Xinpo Village received the first order of 120 sets of silk quilts at the beginning of the year, and it needed manpower to deliver the goods.
Where can I find someone? Not long ago, at a national performance held for tourists in the village, Wei Ronggeng, the "village CEO", simply shouted into the crowd: "Who will use a sewing machine?" ”
I, I, I ......Luo Xianshu excitedly raised his hand and rushed out of the crowd.
The next day, the silk factory pulled up a team of 6 people and started working.
In the winter factory, Luo Xianshu stepped on the pedal and sewed ** at the same time, and the sharpness of his hands and feet was not inferior to that of young people. Her "business reform" stems from the industrial cooperation between Guangdong and Guangxi.
Xinpo Village is surrounded by mountains, with 538 households, 1,826 people and 3,500 acres of cultivated land. Over the years, the local villagers have mainly planted mulberry and silkworms, supplemented by planting mandarins, watermelons, tomatoes and other crops, and many villagers have gone out to work.
The silk factory is a starting point for the local industry to extend the industrial chain and increase added value. Since 2022, the Guangdong-Guizhou cooperation and assistance fund has invested 4.68 million yuan for two consecutive years, adopting the model of "leading enterprise + base + cooperative + farmer" in Xinpo Village, introducing an enterprise to invest in building a silkworm cultural industrial park, integrating mulberry silkworm pastoral cultural tourism experience, mulberry silkworm planting and breeding, research base, and online live broadcast with goods, and selecting and training young people in the village to serve as "rural CEOs", effectively empowering the village collective economy.
We elected two villagers as the 'village CEO', Liang Qiuyan on behalf of the village, Wei Ronggeng on behalf of the enterprise, young people brains, the two division of labor and cooperation, jointly for the village brand building and business management. Liao Zhuangqiang, secretary of the party branch of Xinpo Village, said.
Transform idle houses into exhibition halls, establish professional cooperatives, build digital standard silkworm houses, carry out technical training, and build silk quilt factory ......The silkworm industry chain has been "opened and activated", and the villages surrounded by mountains are showing vigorous vitality and increasingly close ties with the outside world.
Liao Zhuangqiang told reporters that there are nearly 100 standard silkworm houses in the village to access and use the smart platform, and the survival rate of silkworm breeding in the village has increased from 70% to 85%, which directly drives the average annual income of silkworm farmers to increase by more than 6,000 yuan.
Villager Huang Liuen has been planting mulberry and silkworms since 2005, and now his family's annual profit from one acre of land is more than 1,000 yuan more than two years ago. "My family has 4 acres of land, plus 38 acres of contracted, and there is a net income of more than 100,000 yuan a year. ”
At the same time, with the help of the Yuegui digital agricultural and cultural tourism platform, Xinpo Village has created the brand of "Four Seasons with Mulberry", and "moved" the village's natural features, cultural customs, special products, and silkworm characteristic tourism, research and other projects into the mini program, so that tourists can buy special products and book their favorite projects to experience with a click of their fingers.
Eating farmhouse meals, living in farmhouses, watching farmhouse dramas, and enjoying mulberry bathing hot springs, Xinpo Village currently receives three or four hundred tourists every week. The Maonan folk customs drama "Maonan Love", written, directed and acted by local farmers, is constantly staged, and Luo Xianshu is one of the actors. During the 2023 National Day, there will be bonfires in Xinpo Village every night.
Xinpo Village has developed 21 public welfare positions such as cleaners, forest rangers, and sewage cleaning and maintenance personnel. 61-year-old Qin Yuye works as a cleaner in the village, earning an extra 800 yuan a month.
The mulberry leaves in the village are no longer only used for silkworm farming. Mulberry leaves are made into tea, mulberries are made into wine and dried mulberries, and mulberry stems are processed into medicinal ......Today, the mulberry trees in the village have become the "treasure" of the villagers.
According to reports, since 2021, the Guangdong-Guangxi Cooperation Task Force and Guangxi have jointly built 206 demonstration villages, of which 21 demonstration villages have established business entities led by village collectives and the common prosperity of farmers.
When leaving, the reporter saw that in the fields of Xinpo Village, the mulberry stump had spit out tender shoots, and it was giving birth to a good situation in the new year. (ENDS).
