Only eight people across the country won the first prize of the "Great Power Craftsman" National Farmers Skills Competition.

The lavender of the Yili River accounted for more than 95%of the planting area of ​​the country and is the hometown of lavender in China. In 2012, Zhang Yun came to the Gobi deserted beach in Chalob Charlibal Autonomous County, opened the road of rural entrepreneurship, and established the Yili River Valley Agricultural Technology Group Co., Ltd.

After 10 years of unremitting efforts, Yili River Valley Agricultural Technology Group Co., Ltd. has established a planned area of ​​more than 20,000 acres of Lavender Industrial Park. The company has been rated as the key leading enterprise of agricultural industrialization in the autonomous region, "specialized new" enterprises, and excellent employment enterprises in short -handing and promoting employment. The first prize of the Growth Group of the Creative Competition of the Fifth National Rural Entrepreneurship Innovation Project.

In entrepreneurship, after investigation of the planting of local lavender and the production of lavender honey, he found that there are many lavender planting areas in Xinjiang, but the planting is relatively decentralized and mixed with other crops. The reason for this situation is that there is no industry standards and the lack of standards for the development of the industry; the second is the degradation of lavender seedlings, and it is urgent to solve quality and variety problems.

In order to effectively improve this situation, Zhang Yun relied on technology innovation to solve the technical problems in the lavender industry. By establishing a post -doctoral research workstation and post -doctoral research innovation base in the autonomous region, he has created "the gene library of Chinese lavender species", and research and development from soil research and development to hybrid breeding has conducted research on lavender. At the same time, he also cooperated with many institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Xi'an Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geographic of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Shanghai Jiaotong University Aromatherapy Institute.

At the same time as successful entrepreneurship, he never forgot to lead the masses to get rich. He adopted the business model of "Company+Base+Professional Cooperative+Farmers", directly driving more than 700 surrounding farmers to plant lavender, with an annual income of each household an increase of about 25,000 yuan, and accumulated a total of 350,000 long -term employment in farmers and herdsmen.

Thanks to the improvement of the quality of lavender through the technological innovation of new technologies, new processes, and new products, now he has successfully cultivated up to 45 kinds of lavender seedlings. The first batch of 6 kinds of seedlings for large -scale planting and achieved success. 6 The main ingredients of varieties of seedlings have reached national standards, of which two varieties of seedlings have reached or exceeded the French lavender industry standards.
