The big and thin-shelled walnut, heavy and golden millet, fresh and tender mutton... On November 24, the farmers of Liuzhugou Village, Caonian Township, Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County took their best agricultural products to Yishouyuan Park in Haigang District , bringing the delicacies of the mountains to urban consumers.
These local agricultural products attracted many citizens. Ms. Di, who has just bought almonds and dried tofu, said, “The fair takes us closer to these fellow men, and we can buy some agricultural products from them. This is something we can do to support the poverty relief work.”
“The poverty alleviation working group takes us here by car, and I have sold 50 kg out of 150 kg of walnuts.” said Zhang Mi, a 61-year-old villager of Liuzhugou Village, for whom the walnuts and chestnuts are the main source of income. He brought these agricultural products including red beans to the fair organized by the government, and almost sold them all, he was very pleased, “I must bring more next time.”
Liuzhugou Village is located in the south of Qinglong, with an area of 8 square kilometers, 1,025 mu of cultivated land, nearly 1 mu per capita, and 2,000 mu of economic forest. There are 446 households with 1,075 people in the whole village, and 45.5% of them were registered impoverished population, who had shed their poverty by the end of 2017. According to Gao Jingtao, party secretary, chairman and general manager of Qinhuangdao Urban Development Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., in recent years, they have invested more than 2.3 million yuan to upgrade the infrastructure in the village, and over 3.1 million yuan for industrial development and employment, building a 40-kilowatt village-level photovoltaic power station, a 150-ton cold storage chestnut storage and processing plant, a piggery with 300 pigs, and a poultry house with 4,000 chickens.
In order to increase the income of the impoverished households, the working group continued to promote poverty alleviation through consumption. In June 2019, the UDIHG established the Qinhuangdao Suize Trading Co., Ltd. to specialize in poverty alleviation agricultural products. “We purchase surplus local agricultural products from the farmers, sell them after rough processing and pre-packaging, and return the benefits to farmers. This is the reason why we hold this fair of local agricultural products.” In addition to these regular methods, the UDIHG has also registered the “Shentu Impression” trademark and developed online selling program to refine and commercialize the local agricultural products in Liuzhugou Village, promoting the development of local agriculture, and increasing farmers’ income.
