In early winter, farmers were busy harvesting green peppers in the newly built 80-mu (about 5.33 hectares) vegetable greenhouse of Taixiao Village, Tiantang Town, Yizhang County.
Chili peppers are an essential ingredient on the dining tables of Hunan people. They prefer warmth and may freeze to death in environments below 5 degrees Celsius for a long time.
In order to supply local chili peppers to citizens in winter and spring, Yizhang Shunheng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. built 80 mu (about 5.33 hectares) of vegetable greenhouses equipped with plastic film and drip irrigation facilities in the Taixiao vegetable base with the investment of 1.5 million yuan at the end of August this year, opening up the “greenhouse economy”.
Next, the company will continue efforts to explore the development of the “greenhouse economy” to realize the harvest in four seasons, expecting to help villagers to increase income and promote the industrial development.
