Departing from Wuxi County in Chongqing in the morning, circling along the mountain road, the altitude gradually rises, and reaching the entrance of Baoping Village in Tianyuan Township, it is already noon. As the voices approached, Liu Shaoping poked his head out of the greenhouse and quickly approached, saying, "Come and take a look, we've just produced a new batch of mushrooms

As the person in charge of the edible mushroom base, when it comes to mushrooms, Liu Shaoping's words open up: "It may seem unremarkable, but it's the 'golden cake' in our village!" Walking into the edible mushroom planting base, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of plants and trees. "This is coming from the high-temperature sterilization workshop." Hot steam is disinfecting the mushroom bags used for cultivating edible mushrooms, and Liu Shaoping is guiding as he walks, "That end is the finished product processing area

55 year old villager Wang Liangfeng has agile hands and feet. These pre fermented mushroom bags cannot be used, they need to be dismantled and recycled. "In no time, the mushroom bags in front of Wang Liangfeng piled up into a small mountain. Now, I don't need to go out to find work anymore. There is a mushroom base in the village, and we even grow winter peaches at home. It's so good to earn money right at our doorstep

How much profit can small mushrooms bring to the village? During the peak production period, the entire village can earn up to 30000 yuan in income per day! "Liu Shaoping introduced that as early as 2018, Baoping Village adopted the" agricultural enterprise village collective farmer "model, jointly building a 20 acre edible mushroom production base with an annual output of 500000 bags of mushroom bags." Now, the village collective and farmers can receive a sustained and stable dividend income of 300000 yuan per year

In fact, choosing edible mushrooms as one of the leading industries in the village not only has the geographical advantage of being located in a high mountain, but also hides the "careful thinking" of the cadres - "There are some elderly people in the village who are elderly or have limited mobility, and the industry we develop in Baoping Village will fully consider the local labor situation." Yang Chengming, the head of Tianyuan Township, introduced that for low-income groups, extremely poor people, and severely disabled people, the cooperative has adopted the method of mushroom custody production. Farmers purchase mushroom bags and entrust them to the cooperative for management. After the production cycle is over, the cooperative will return the cost of the mushroom bags and distribute dividends to the custody and care households.

How to expand sales channels with good production? During the conversation, a truck parked at the entrance of the base, and the packaged edible mushrooms will be transported to the e-commerce distribution center in the township. In the live broadcast room, the staff were shouting vigorously, the sales data on the computer screen kept jumping and updating, and the delivery vehicles traveled back and forth between the mountains... Tianyuan Township's local specialties were given wings and flew out of the mountains.

Not only in Tianyuan Township, but also in Wuxi County, mushrooms have become the "code of wealth" for the villagers. In Wenfeng Town, dried and sold morel mushrooms, with an average profit of nearly 45000 yuan per mu; In Jianshan Town, entrepreneurial couple Li Xiaoyan led everyone to establish a professional edible mushroom cooperative, with an annual output of 900000 kilograms and an annual output value of over 4.5 million yuan

Next, we will continue to strengthen the characteristic and efficient agriculture in mountainous areas, concentrate on building characteristic industrial clusters, and maintain an average annual growth rate of over 10% in agricultural product processing output value and online retail sales, "the relevant person in charge of Wuxi County Agriculture and Rural Committee told reporters.
