Vegetable-rice rotation brings farmers more income

2022-12-01

In midwinter, the vegetable bases covering an area of more than 230 mu (about 15.33 hectares) in Yuemei Village and Chengtou Village of Yangmeishan Town, Yizhang County are full of greenery. In the fields, farmers are busy picking, sorting, packing vegetables into boxes.

The average altitude of the area is 550 meters. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, and the fertile land, the vegetables grown here taste good. The local area adopts the vegetable-rice rotation model in which vegetables are planted immediately after the rice is harvested in September.

So farmers can pick and sell them after the beginning of winter, which will last until the next spring. In this period, the once idle fields in winter can also yield vegetables for more income.
