Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Yao Huang Shunda
In November this year, Guizhou Province announced that all poverty-stricken counties in the province would “remove their hats,” marking the 832 poverty-stricken counties designated by the Poverty Alleviation Office of the Council of State had come out of poverty. When the news spread to Latin America, Peruvian journalist Sonia sent a WeChat message to a Chinese friend: “I am so excited to hear the news that China’s impoverished counties have been lifted out of poverty!”
In July 2018, more than a dozen Latin American journalists, including Sonia, a reporter for the Peruvian Andean News Agency, and Jimmy, a reporter for the Ecuadorian Telegraph, entered the town of Gubao, Xiuwen county, Guizhou province. They are very curious about China’s solemn commitment to winning the battle against poverty in a comprehensive way, and they want to see that it is credible.
Xiuwen County is located in the mountainous area of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with good ecology, where there were many wild kiwis. In Guizhou’s poverty alleviation campaign in 2018, the government encouraged farmers to adjust measures to local conditions and increase the share of cash crops. Xiuwen County has a moderate altitude, pleasant climate, rain and heat at the same time, and a high content of organic matter in the soil, which has the conditions to produce high-quality kiwifruit. So the farmers started planting kiwis under the guidance.
“The taste is natural, sweet with a little acidity, perfect!” Two years later, Jimmy still missed the kiwis he tasted there.
“There is a slight fragrance in the orchard, with greenish-brown kiwifruit hanging from the branches, but there are fewer fruit growers than I thought.” Sonia remembered visiting the kiwi planting base.
Sonya and her group entered the kiwi orchard, they thought it was full of fruit growers, but found that there were only a few people in the huge orchard. After asking, I learned that fruit growers here often only need to operate on the computer and mobile phone to easily handle the work in the field.
Like finding a clue to unlock the password, Sonia recorded in the interview book: The kiwi in Gubao Town is big, sweet and the harvest is good. The secret lies in the “mystery” that monitors the growth process of kiwis and even helps farmers find customers. Wizard “activated.
In Gubao Town, many growers are equipped with virtual reality cameras, weather stations and detectors to collect and record information about the climate, soil and growth of the fruit trees in the orchard. Some large growers even send their own kiwi to the “cloud” so that potential customers can see the kiwi growing process.
Sonia said that with the blessing of big data and cloud technology, farmers no longer have to work so hard to grow fruits and save a lot of time and energy. “The quality of life has improved and the feeling of happiness increases!”
In Xiuwen County, big data “cares” for every kiwi, not only provides accurate guidance for fruit growers, but also participates in storage and logistics, sorting and packaging, deep processing and marketing.
Along with the docking of e-commerce platforms, Xiuwen County kiwi products have not only opened up domestic sales, but have also been sold to Japan, Russia, Malaysia and other countries and regions. The kiwi orchard has grown in scale and established a reputation, as well as attracting many tourists who come to pick it up.
The use of scientific and technological means allowed Sonia to see the intention and innovation of grassroots poverty alleviation work, while Jimmy saw more of Kiwi’s “key to getting rich” from the integration and improvement of industries. local.
In Gubao Town, people can enjoy pear blossoms in March, kiwi blossoms in May, and pick kiwis in October with baskets.
The way to get rich in Gubao Town is a revelation. “I saw a creative and effective poverty alleviation project,” Jimmy said. “I hope that my country can also learn from China’s poverty eradication experience.”
