Dragon Tiger News (reporter Zhang Ling, correspondent Tao Lei) Now, when you enter the "Suhui Fruit and Vegetable" intelligent greenhouse in Xushang Village, Shitouzhai Village, Baishui Town, Lishui District, Nanjing, you can see many full and attractive blueberries hanging on the branches. Don't underestimate them. This is the "golden signboard" of the blueberry industry of Nanjing Suhui Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative. It is not only full of science and technology, but also a "fortune fruit" that supports the cooperative people's happy life. It can sell for 150~200 yuan per kilogram.
Blueberries in the "Suhui Fruit and Vegetable" smart greenhouse are in the mature stage
When talking about today's "berry" good life, cooperative members often hang a person's name - Zhou Hui, who is a representative of Jiangsu Provincial People's Congress, is also the chairman of Nanjing Suhui Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative, and is also the leader of "smart" blueberry planting. Under his leadership and insistence, the scale of the cooperatives is getting larger and larger, and the benefits are getting better and better.
Returning home to grow blueberries: from "floating on water" to large-scale work with everyone
Zhou Hui checks the growth of blueberries in the greenhouse
Zhou Hui, 48, is a native of Xushang Village, Shitouzhai Village, Baima Town. Over the years, I have gone out to do engineering and sales, and finally returned to my hometown to start my business. "Our village has a long history of planting blackberries. In 1997, I went back to the village and contracted 700 mu of land to plant blackberries. At that time, someone said that I was' working outside to open Santana, and I came back to plant blackberries by bike '." Zhou Hui said helplessly. After planting blackberries for a year, Zhou Hui paid attention to the blueberries known as the "king of berries". "I want to plant blueberries!" After making up his mind, Zhou Hui went to the Northeast alone to buy wild blueberry seedlings for cutting. In the first year, it spent 200000 species and 80 mu. However, due to ignorance of planting technology, blueberries were still raised according to the planting experience of blackberries, which led to the "total annihilation" of blueberries that year, and 200000 yuan was wasted.
Although he was hit hard, Zhou Hui didn't give up. He firmly believed that blueberry market had a bright future. As long as the planting was successful, there would be benefits. He just lacked planting technology. By chance, Zhou Hui learned that a professor of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had an mu of blueberry experimental field. He immediately came to the door in the rain to seek technical guidance. Finally, the blueberry planted by Zhou Hui in 2001 survived, and in 2002, the blueberry fruited smoothly. Since then, Zhou Hui's blueberry has gradually taken shape.
A single flower is not spring. Zhou Hui is well aware that an industry must have scale in the local market. After years of trial and error, he has experienced both failure and success. He wants such experience to be replicated by more people in more places. Therefore, in 2009, Nanjing Suhui Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative led by Zhou Hui was established. "Take everyone to work together!" Zhou Hui thought and did the same. Today, the cooperative has 108 members, 800 mu of planting base, 10000 square meters of GSW-8435 multi building film greenhouse and 2000 square meters of glass greenhouse, and has also set up innovative applications of agricultural Internet of Things. Zhou Hui calculated an account: in 2023, the cooperative will produce more than 800 tons of fresh fruits, purchase and sell more than 1000 tons of various fresh fruits for its members and surrounding farmers, and achieve sales of more than 25.35 million yuan. At the end of the year, the second dividend is 861400 yuan, and the share dividend is 163500 yuan. "When people's pockets are full and their motivation is sufficient, the scale will come up naturally!" Zhou Hui said happily.
Science and technology for blueberry cultivation: "smart" planting benefits promote the development of local blueberry industry
"In fact, according to the traditional open-air planting mode, June is the blueberry picking season. You see, the blueberry here adopts the greenhouse smart planting mode, and the refined management measures enable the blueberry to come into the market five months in advance. The average yield per mu is 3-4 times that of the traditional planting, and the average benefit per mu can reach 200000 yuan, nearly 10 times that of the traditional planting mode, greatly improving the economic benefits." In the "Suhui Fruit and Vegetable" smart greenhouse, Zhou Hui said happily while checking the growth of blueberries.
The electronic display screen in the greenhouse displays various "values" for blueberry growth
Light 16.3, soil temperature 27.6, soil moisture 49.8... The electronic display screen in the greenhouse clearly shows various "values" for blueberry growth. Different from the traditional agriculture of "relying on the weather", the cultivation of 2400 blueberries in this 2000 square meter glass smart greenhouse is all operated by a mobile phone, which is very "technological". After being reminded by relevant technicians, it was found that there were "organs" everywhere in the 3-meter high glass greenhouse, soil moisture monitoring stations, photo type pest lights, spore traps and other new scientific and technological equipment that always had an insight into the "wind and grass" of the base. According to the technician, the sensing system equipped in the greenhouse monitors the temperature, humidity, pH and other blueberry growth environments all the time. It is worth mentioning that blueberries here are not grown in the ground, but grow in pots. They use substrate cultivation, eat peat, coconut bran and other prepared "soil", and "drink" trace element "nutritious meal" after scientific matching. This can ensure that the nutrition of blueberries can be precisely controlled at each growth stage, and the yield and quality can also be greatly improved.
The blueberries listed ahead of time become the "wealth fruit" of the masses
Zhou Hui said that through verification, intelligent planting can improve the quality of blueberries and be listed in advance, which will help Lishui blueberries break out of the tight encirclement. The reporter learned in the interview that today, science and technology enabled blueberry planting in Lishui has become the norm. In many local planting bases, innovation can be seen in every growth stage from blueberry breeding, tissue culture to planting, which also constantly promotes the development of local blueberry industry.
Iteration of new blueberry: "try" to produce good quality and improve product added value
Iterative upgrading of products must be an unavoidable topic and work in the process of sustainable development. In the past, blueberries gave people the impression that the taste was slightly sour and light, with little flower flavor; Most blueberries on the market are sweet, delicious and crisp, suitable for all ages. Especially in recent years, the quality and taste of blueberries are getting better and better with the variety update. As one of the earliest blueberry planting areas in China, Lishui has been planting blueberries for about 40 years, and the planting area has expanded from the original 1.5 mu to 14500 mu. Entering a new stage of development, how to further improve the quality of Lishui blueberry and promote the transformation and upgrading of the blueberry industry?

Zhou Hui, who has been engaged in blueberry planting for more than 20 years, said that he saw the change of blueberry every day. "In the past, blueberry planting was only about quantity, but now it is different, and the market is about quality." So what kind of variety is a good variety? In Zhou Hui's opinion, old varieties are not necessarily obsolete varieties, and new varieties are not necessarily good varieties, but still need to "try", And this is his work as always. Upgrading blueberry varieties is just one part of Zhou Hui's work. How can we improve the added value of products through deep processing so that farmers can get more benefits? Zhou Hui believes that this is also an urgent matter. Therefore, in 2017, Zhou Hui established Nanjing Shuangji Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. "The blackberries and blueberries that could not be digested before were processed by other enterprises. Now we have our own enterprises, which is more secure."

Build a product acquisition and sales building, set up base management department, fresh fruit acquisition service center, frozen storage department, sales service center and other functional departments... It is simple to say that setting up a company, and only experienced people know how difficult it is to promote and land. "Lack of money is the biggest and most difficult pass," Zhou Hui said frankly. On the one hand, all the friends and relatives can borrow, on the other hand, the bank is unwilling to lend without collateral. When Zhou Hui felt that he could do nothing, he accidentally learned that there was another financing mode in addition to the two - agricultural guarantee and bank lending. After learning of its demand, the staff of Lishui Branch of Jiangsu Agricultural Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd. actively visited the bank to learn about the situation and demand, and finally successfully released 2 million yuan through matchmaking with the bank. "40% interest discount, fast procedures, good service, truly 'help agriculture'." Zhou Hui gave a thumbs up with emotion.
Small blueberry industry makes people become rich and leap forward. Zhou Hui said that blueberry is not only Lishui's rich agricultural product, but also his lifelong career. He will lead more people to string blueberries into a "blue economy", so that every villager will enjoy the "berry" tip.
