Can you grow roses
On the afternoon of 19 march, the general secretary of xi arrived at the rijang modern flower estate in yunnan province. In rose-growing areas, the general secretary is familiar with soilless techniques in intelligent greenhouses and talks with villagers and technicians on the ground。
"at the time, she planted her hoe, and now she grows flowers and shears." zhang ying of the manjiang community of lijiang city came to the greenhouses room with light purple roses to learn the techniques of growing flowers. “the flowers are carefully cut, with three to five centimetres of roots preserved for better growth. The branches other than the main roots shall be cut off to ensure adequate nutrition for the flowers.”
Cut what you left. That's what yang jia taught him。
Yang jia has been in the flower industry for more than 10 years, bringing here the most advanced farming techniques, facilities and excellent varieties abroad. Five years ago, yang jia hesitated to go to lijiang, over 2,300 metres above sea level, to invest in planting。
Highland flowers are challenging: in the ancient city communities where industrial parks are located, they are about 800 metres above the top of the top of the top of the mountain, are less hot and require high-end greenhouse-control techniques, but they increase the costs of planting; and have a slightly longer growth cycle, affecting production。
But there are also advantages to highland flowers: lijiang has more than 2,400 hours of suntime throughout the year, high sea level, strong uv rays and more colorful colours; high temperatures between day and night make the flowers larger and the branches thicker; and, while the life span is longer, the flowers are slow to burn and the bottle slot is extended。
“there must be a misalignment with the kunming and other areas of the middle east, with the main attack on the high-end flower market.” as a result, yang jia decided to enter the modern flower estate in lijiang。
Step one, build a shed. The 350,000 square metres of high-standard greenhouses, with water fertilizing lines, heating equipment, sensors everywhere, and water fertilizing and humid light, depend on automatic collection. The light values exceed the predefined values and the large sheds automatically cover the sun; the system automatically matches the preset data due to a shortage of water and weight。
Step two, pick the varieties. The initial delivery of 40,000 square metres of sheds, the first of which was to plant 10,000 square metres only, was accompanied by three items, afrikaans, roses and horse holly. As a result, it has been found that the quality of the aristocrates planted is not ideal. Roses and horseshoes, on the other hand, are well adapted to the natural conditions of lijiang, which are characterized by high temperatures, strong ultraviolet light and long-term light, and are the main source species of the base。
Technology is used to infuse, turn off, and carefully conserved flowers with higher value. “publishing the same variety of fresh cut flowers, common plastic shed acre production of approximately $60,000, while our shed production is as high as $300,000.” yang jia described high-quality flower varieties as demanding conditions for planting, requiring more accurate water fattening, temperature moisture, light intensity control, which could not be grown in general sheds. In addition, more precise management and conservation can improve the production and quality of flowers。
Under the auspices of the park, there are 11 small-scale flower-producing enterprises in the ancient city, which grow 6,400 acres and produce more than 40 million slices, worth 291 million yuan. From the second largest airport in yunnan province, lijiang airport, flowers “on board” planes “bundled” everywhere. Of these, 40 per cent are exported overseas。
The income of villagers has increased significantly. On this beautiful line of production, 1,500 industrial workers are active in germinate, trim, pick, sort and package. “the wind can't blow, the rain can't rain, the fragrances are smelting,” and the villagers of the high-peaking community and jiujin, after transferring their 10 acres of land to the park, work on the packaging production line and calculate the amount. The three families are working in the park, with land transfer money and working income, and the village share at the end of the year, with an annual income of over $100,000。
The disposable income of the resident inhabitants of the communities of guizhou increased from less than $10,000 in 2016 to nearly $30,000 in 2024, while the collective income of villages increased from 38,000 in 2019 to 364,000 in 2024。
The surrounding villages have also benefited from the processing of roses, the development of daisy sauce, the setting up of farm family music, the opening of residential guest houses, the organization of flowers for pick-ups, experience in the production of flowers, and the spread of industrial chains such as branches。
It's a common romantic life in yunnan. In 2024, 20. 6 billion yunnan cut flowers were produced, 380,000 people were directly employed in such industries as flower cultivation, sorting and packaging, logistics transport, and flower electricians, and more than 1 million people were indirectly employed. The “romantic economy” is growing into a multi-billion-dollar “beauty industry”。
