Shouguang Huatong carrot: Little carrot supports the big industry to get rich

In Shouguang, when it comes to carrots, people will first think of Hualong Town, which has the reputation of "China's first town". Hualong and carrots are short -stemmed, with few branches and leaves, large meat roots, good smoothness, and bright color. In addition to the nutrients contained in general carrots, the content of sugars and vitamin C in Huasong and carrots is higher, the taste is sweet, and the flavor is obvious. On August 3, 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture formally approved the implementation of the implementation of the geographical indication of agricultural products for "Huasong and Carrot". Nowadays, in Hualong Town, the carrot industry has become the leading industry, and the entire industry chain of carrots has also been initially formed. The majority of farmers have embarked on the way to get rich by planting carrots.

Planting "Black Technology"

New mode of unlock production increase

At present, the local carrots of Hualong Town have been sowed, but Pei Jiuzhi, the head of the large carrot planting enterprise of Hualong Town, did not idle. From mid -July, he began to organize personnel to harvest carrots from the Inner Mongolia base and transport them back to Shouguang for processing. Entering the carrot processing workshop, dozens of workers are busy cleaning, selecting, packaging carrots ... there are busy scenes everywhere.

"With the continuous development of technology, in the process of carrot planting, we have adopted a number of industry -leading agricultural technology." Pei Jiuzhi has been engaged in the carrot planting and processing industry for more than 20 years, and has operated Shouguang Zhonglong Food Co., Ltd. and Shouguang Mingtai Food Limited. After years of development, the company's carrot planting base has spread throughout the province and outside the province, and the planting technology is constantly improving.

"In the entire land link, we used the Beidou system to ensure that each monopo width is consistent; in terms of water and fertilizer management, all the integrated water and fertilizer technology can be achieved, which can not only save water and fertilizer, but also save labor." Pei Jiuzhi said for example. The "seed editing rope" technology is a typical new technology adopted by Hualong carrot in planting. "The carrot seeds are small and irregularly shaped, and it is difficult to use mechanical sowing directly. In the past five or six years, we have explored the sowing technology of the seed pills and rope. Specifically, first use a layer of special materials to bring the carrot to carrot first The seed package is wrapped into a round or oval shape, and then the seed distance is compiled into the paper rope according to the plant spacing requirements. When sowing, just broadcast the paper rope directly into the ground. " The carrots are equal with the plant spacing and uniform growth. Because it is a single -grain sowing, no seedlings are not needed after emergence. After sowing for six or seven days, the paper rope will be automatically degraded in the soil, which does not affect the seed germination and growth. Moreover, the carrot seeds are made to facilitate mechanized sowing, but also ensure that the plant spacing is uniform.

Due to the use of standardized cultivation, the output of Hualong carrots has been greatly improved. "In the past, the yield per mu was only three or four thousand kilograms. Now it has been turned over. In Inner Mongolia, the production area can even reach 10,000 kilograms per year." Zhu Xiaodong, the responsible person of the limited company, said.

Carrot "planting global, selling global"

Very welcomed by foreign consumers

The carrots produced by Hualong Town have a good shape and taste, with red skin, red meat, red heart "three red" and thick meat and small cores. The entrance is tender and juicy. Suitable for raw, market recognition is high. Due to the limited local planting area and insufficient manpower, Hualong Town growers planting carrots in outsourcing have become a trend. Cities such as Guangrao, Qingzhou, Zibo and other cities have their contracted land, and the planting area has become a certain scale. Essence

In recent years, Hualong carrot entrepreneurs have contracted land in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other provinces. Large -scale, scientific and technological, mechanized planting carrots, planting more than 80,000 acres of carrots per year. After the harvest of carrots in other places, they were shipped back to Huarang Town for processing, and then sold in more than 20 countries and regions including Japan, South Korea, and the UAE. The industrial structure of the country and sales in the world. At present, the carrots exported to Hualong Town are more from all over the country except the local part.

"From south to north, from Hainan to Inner Mongolia, as long as the cultivation conditions of carrots can be planted, they can be planted on the spot, and they can be collected in about 120 days." Zhu Xiaodong told reporters that Hualong carrot is very popular in the market. In addition Outside the market, foreign markets also occupy a lot of share. "South Korea, Japan and other countries like to eat our carrots, especially Indonesia, Russia, and Vietnam.

Effects to standardization and mechanization

Continuously enhance market competitiveness

"Initially processing carrots was to take a brush in one person and keep a large water basin." Pei Jiuzhi said that now, as technology continues to improve, the equipment such as carrot cleaning and processing of Hualong Town is continuously upgraded. At present, Peiling Village's carrot processing park has become the largest carrot processing park in the country, covering an area of ​​1,600 acres, with 41 processing companies, and a constant temperature preservation library with a total capacity of 200,000 tons.

According to Pei Jiuzhi, at present, Hualong carrots have a high degree of mechanization in planting, management and other links, but in the early stage of harvesting and subsequent grading, sorting, etc., it mainly depends on manual. Mechanized, it can save 1,000 yuan per ton. "
