This year is expected to harvest 7,000 to 8,000 tons of dried peppers in Pakistan this year

In the Pakistan Pacpan area in July, the temperature was sunny and hot, and the temperature was close to 50 ° C. Picking, drying, bagging, selling ... Watching the red pepper from the seedlings to "monetization", Wahid's face was full of joy, and planned to open the next season of planting.

The income doubles, the enthusiasm of the local farmers' planting

The seeds and technologies planted by Wahid and the surrounding farm owners are from China. As early as 3 years ago, Chen Changwei, the person in charge of Sichuan Litong Food Co., Ltd., who was far away from 5,000 kilometers away, went to sea with seeds and technicians to investigate and analyze Pakistan's climate, temperature, soil, etc. It is very suitable for planting peppers in Pakistan, and began large -scale planting in many regions such as Hedelaba, Meltan, Kusal, Okala, and Laram in Pakistan.

After several years of demonstration planting, more and more farmers have seen the quality and economic benefits of peppers, and Wahid is one of them. "From the perspective of the planting situation this season, the average per mu of pepper -planting peppers is about three times the income of other crops, and the acres increased by about 1,500 yuan/mu. We not only increased the income, but also learned scientific planting technology."

On June 28, Washid and several farmers and the Litong International Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. (China Machinery Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. and Sichuan Litong Food Co., Ltd. joint venture) signed the next season's planting plan. They are very enthusiastic about planting peppers.

At present, the pepper planting project adopts an order signing planting model. The entire type of pepper is provided by the project party providing technical support and guidance such as seedling, field management, picking, and drying. After the peppers, all the qualified peppers will be repurchased by the project. The local farmers calculated the accounts. Compared with the previous economic income per acre more than doubled, they signed a contract and tried to learn new methods to plant peppers.

"This season, we cooperated in Pakistan to plant an area of ​​18,000 acres to solve the staged employment of thousands of local people. It is expected to harvest 7,000 to 8,000 tons of dried peppers. At present, 2/3 of the peppers have been dried into the warehouse, and we also enter the warehouse. One -third of the peppers are being harvested, and it is expected that dried peppers will enter the Chinese market from August to September. "Chen Changwei introduced that Litong also cultivated more than 100 local talents who mastered the planting technology of pepper, and as well as domestic and local and local locations Scientific research institutions and agricultural universities have established project cooperation to raise Pakistan's modern agricultural technology and prepare for the next season to continue to expand pepper planting.

Future planning, construction of China -Pakistan food export processing zone

From inspection, trials, and small -scale planting to large -scale planting, the success of the demonstration base of pepper planting is constantly attracting the attention of more local small and medium farmers. The relevant person in charge of the Du Du District revealed that the pepper base built by Zhonglitong in Pakistan is the only agricultural project that entered the corridor to enter the corridor in March this year. 1.5 million mu, the China -Pakistan food export processing zone was completed by the end of 2025.

Why should the company go to Pakistan to plant chili? It turned out that in the Chinese Sichuan cuisine industrial city where Litong Food is located, a large number of Sichuan cuisine supplementary materials companies have developed. They must "eat" more than 10 million tons of peppers each year, of which more than 90%of the foreign -external adjustment. Although the planting of pepper is basically in the field, the Du Du District decided to grab the key links of the industry -varieties in their own hands to ensure that the peppers used in Douban Douban are "pure and authentic".

"This has given us thinking that the domestic market has been saturated and needs to open up overseas markets." Chen Changwei introduced that enterprises can finally go out boldly and implement the project well. The corridor "" Chinese agriculture goes out "is inseparable. "China and Pakistan are large agricultural powers. Pakistan has a large fertile farming land, and more than 60%of the country's population is engaged in agricultural -related fields. China has accumulated a lot of experience in seed cultivation and crop planting technology." The potential for cooperation in agriculture is huge. Pakistan's peppers are about to appear on the table of Chinese and foreign, and through the development of "one area and multi -garden", Chinese condiments will also enter the Muslim economic circle.
