In Lingwan Village, Ruogu Town, Yangling District, under the jurisdiction of Yangling Agricultural High tech Industry Demonstration Zone in Shaanxi Province, the person in charge of Yangling Qinxin Horticulture Company, Tan Huiqiang, welcomed the busiest sales season of the year - the Spring Festival holiday. "This is the province's butterfly orchid planting base, with over 300000 seedlings raised and over 200000 butterfly orchids cultivated each year. During this year's Spring Festival, approximately 180000 plants were sold at a price of over 20 yuan per plant..." Tan Huiqiang contacted the business while telling reporters. Graduates from horticulture majors have strong discussions and a different affection for flowers. Six years ago, he returned to Lingwan Village with the "Phalaenopsis Orchid" and tried planting it. "This type of flower is originally from the tropics and has become a popular variety of Chinese New Year's Eve flowers due to its beautiful flower shape and elegant fragrance. With the improvement of new composite greenhouse technology, the cultivation of butterfly orchids in the northern region has developed rapidly." He said, "Currently, Yangling has built five butterfly orchid cultivation bases, with an annual sales of about 700000 plants, becoming the main production area of butterfly orchids in the northwest." Two years ago, Yangling Qinlin Agricultural Planting Cooperative was established in Lingwan Village, Adopting the cooperation model of "village collective+farmers+Qinxin Horticultural Company", 18 villagers took the lead in investing. "The output value of the base is increasing at a rate of 15% annually, and is expected to reach 7 million yuan this year. It not only provides employment opportunities for more than 20 villagers, but also distributes dividends of over 800000 yuan to the village collective and shareholders in the past two years.". In Changwu County, Shaanxi Apple Eugenics District, Director of the Fruit Industry Center, Gao Baojun, said that the new varieties cultivated by professors from Northwest A&F University, such as Ruiyang, Ruixue, Qincui, and Qinmi, have sparked a new round of apple variety "revolution" in Shaanxi, and the fruit farmers who took the lead have tasted the sweetness. In Qili Village, Zhaoren Street, Changwu County, fruit farmer Gao Xiangmin had an indescribable joy on his dark face: "When an apple is sold for 10 yuan, we enjoy the dividends of a new variety." In 2023, Gao Xiangmin harvested over 30000 kilograms of apples, a new variety with good fruit shape and taste, priced two to three times higher than ordinary varieties. Gao Xiangmin is 59 years old this year and has been growing apples for nearly 40 years. "My family's 7-acre orchard used to be planted with Fuji. Six years ago, we planted new varieties such as Ruiyang, Ruixue, and Qincui, and now our income has doubled." He said, "Before the Spring Festival, there were merchants who ordered apples, but we are out of stock. Last year, the fruit sold for 200000 yuan, with a net income of 140000 yuan, which is a solid harvest year." "Changwu County has an apple area of over 200000 mu, contributing 60% of farmers' income and is the 'golden fruit' for farmers to lift themselves out of poverty and become prosperous.". At present, the new apple varieties in the county have developed to 7200 acres, and in the future, plans are made to update and replace more than 5000 acres annually through government subsidies and market guidance Changwu County Party Secretary He Rui said.
