Getting rid of poverty is not the end, but the starting point of new life. Since the beginning of this year, Jiangsu province has actively organized and carried out actions to enrich the people and revitalize the village to help promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. Through dynamic monitoring and accurate assistance, the province builds up a long-term mechanism to increase the income of rural low-income population and the development of economically weak villages, and continue to strengthen the key areas to help promote development momentum.
This farmer is Gong Aihao, he is telling other farmers how to grow watermelons. Five years ago, he still lived in a low-income household. In 2016, with the help of the local poverty-relief department, Gong got a 50,000-yuan interest-free loan to build a greenhouse and grow grapes, watermelons and other popular fruits and vegetables. In only five years, the benefits have increased more than tenfold. Gong became the pioneer in the battle of poverty alleviation.
In order to further improve fruit and vegetable planting efficiency, this year, Gong is thinking about building his own e-commerce platforms and create his own brand with his fellow villagers. In the process of dynamic monitoring of low-income households, the local poverty alleviation department continues to provide interest-free loans to help him expand the scale.
It is not only individuals who benefit from the industrial prosperity, the once economically weak villages have also realized the fundamental change from being poor to being prosperous by relying on collective industrial development. In Shapu Village, Binhai County, the first independent operation project of the village --pear orchard was about to enter the fruiting period. These two days, the villagers are busy in the orchard to take care of the fruit.
In order to continuously increase the collective income of the village, Shapu Village has built a 6,000-square-meters intelligent greenhouse this year and plans to grow the best-selling grape to bring about nearly 600,000 yuan of economic benefits for the village.
The reporter learned from the provincial government poverty alleviation office that from this year, in order to promote coordinated development of urban and rural areas and regions, Jiangsu province will focus on key areas and rural low-income population to carry out rural support action.
