Li Ruqiang, a farmer in Aoshang Village, said, “I planted 5 mu (about 0.33 hectares) of yellow watermelons this year. As early as this month, I signed a sales agreement with our village. Our yellow watermelons are large, seedless, crisp and sweet.”

 

Aoshang Village is located in the southern part of Suxian District, and its land with semi-sandy soil is very suitable for growing yellow-flesh watermelons. According to the village branch secretary, the village has been cultivating yellow watermelons for more than 20 years, with rich experience and mature technology.

 

 

The quality and yield of watermelons have been very stable. The yellow watermelons, with an average price of 3 yuan per catty, have helped local people increase income. 

 

Since the beginning of this year, Aoshang Village has made every effort to build a characteristic agricultural brand of yellow-flesh watermelons, Combining the watermelon industry with rural revitalization, it has been vigorously promoting the adjustment of agricultural structure and the improvement of quality and efficiency of characteristic agriculture.
