The concept of green consumption in Xinjiang boosts farmyard fertilizer

With the prevalence of the concept of green consumption, agricultural products that do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides are increasingly sought after due to their natural and healthy quality, and their prices are relatively high. Farmers in Heshuo County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have tasted sweetness from planting pollution-free agricultural products and have applied farmyard manure when growing fruits and vegetables. For a time, farmyard fertilizers have become increasingly popular in rural areas, and even supply falls short of supply.

In an interview with a reporter in Heshuo County, the reporter discovered that farmers not only transported “fertilizer” from their cattle pens and pig pens to the fields, but also farms and ranches to purchase manure. The manure previously used as fuel for local herders became the “baby” in the eyes of farmers. A local villager told the reporter that now a car of sheep manure can be sold for 400 yuan, and sometimes it needs to be booked in advance.

According to reports, Shinongjiajia used to be a good tradition for agricultural production, but with the widespread use of chemical fertilizers, farmyard fertilizers have been inconvenient for use. In recent years, in order to improve the quality and grade of agricultural products and enhance market competitiveness, Heshuo County has widely publicized the benefits of using farmyard fertilizers, and actively guided farmers to develop green and pollution-free vegetables and fruits, and promoted the development of local ecology and green agriculture.

At present, Heshuo County has established seven production bases for pollution-free agricultural products, covering an area of ​​122,900 mu, accounting for 30% of the cultivated area of ​​the county, and the number of certified products is 27, of which 24 are pollution-free agricultural products and the certified product output reaches 326,700 tons. .

Suhart Village, Suhart Township, Heshuo County has built a 3,000-mu pollution-free production base. Six kinds of vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, celery and Chinese cabbage produced at the base were certified as pollution-free vegetables by the Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Center of the Ministry of Agriculture. The vegetables produced were sold to Aksu and Urumqi in Xinjiang.
