Where is the flower field for growing roses in Guangzhou? Urgent ~ ~ ~

Recently, when the reporter came to Deng Bo's flower field of Qingqi Village Committee in the southwest street of Sanshui District, a large area of roses was in full bloom, and dozens of acres of land seemed to be a red ocean. Deng Bo and several workers are busy grafting branches, while others are busy pruning branches and leaves. It's hard to imagine that this big family who planted 32 acres of roses was just an ordinary farmer three years ago. In Qingqi, there are dozens of local farmers who change careers like Deng Bo. Since the implementation of agricultural investment promotion in the southwest streets, foreign farmers have taken local farmers to develop flower planting, which has made many farmers who originally stuck to thin fields taste the sweetness.

From florist to boss

Three years ago, Deng Bo was a farmer, making a living by planting an acre of rice fields. During the slack season, he had to do mud work to support his family. In 2000, Qingqi introduced four large foreign rose growers, and Deng Bo gave up his farm work to help a boss in Fangcun manage the rose farm. These farmers from Heshun, Fangcun and other places in Nanhai, Guangdong Province all of a sudden packed dozens or even hundreds of acres of land to grow roses, and Deng Bo and other local farmers 10 became flower field workers. After a year's nursing, Deng Bo learned how to prune branches, how to prune branches to control the flowering period, and where to buy roses.

The following year, the boss in Guangzhou left Qingqi, and Deng Bo, who was familiar with planting and selling flowers, began to go it alone. He first tried to grow roses in his own field, then contracted 32 acres of land and became the owner of the flower farm. This year, 26 local people like Deng Bo changed from workers to bosses, or from farmers to rose growers. Deng Bo told reporters that everyone is dealing with fields, and learning to grow flowers is also a science. After a year of "internship", he has basically mastered the technology of growing roses and got in touch with florists, so it is very easy to do it alone. Southwest street also actively provides services and convenience for flower farmers. According to the person in charge of the Southwest Agricultural Office, the Agricultural Office has held four training courses on flower planting since last year, and has repeatedly hired professors from Guangzhou Flower Research Institute and South China Agricultural University to teach flower farmers in Qingqi. It also organized flower farmers to visit Guangzhou and other places to improve their technical level and let them know more about the market.

It is understood that this year, the planting area of Qingqi rose reached 1.500 mu, and the number of growers increased from four foreign farmers four years ago to 40. Flower farmers can earn tens of thousands of yuan or even more than 654.38+10,000 yuan just by planting roses a year. Roses have replaced rice as the second largest local agricultural product.

Market fluctuation affects the expansion prospect.

In the conversation with rose farmers, the word that reporters heard the most was "hit". Deng Bo explained the "beat" in this way: roses can bloom all year round, but the peak season of sales is concentrated in the most prosperous period from 65438 to February, and the price of flowers in this period also determines the annual income. The price of roses changes quickly. In Guangzhou Fangcun Flower Market, where Qingqi flower farmers concentrate on selling, the price difference between today and tomorrow may be several times, or even double in a few minutes. The rise and fall of flower prices make selling flowers like a gamble. The first year I planted my own roses, I dropped one. Last year, I seized the opportunity and shipped them at a high price to earn them back. In addition, the planting of roses is greatly affected by the weather, especially in winter during the peak sales season. Sudden cooling and heating will affect the flowering period. The reporter asked if Deng Bo would expand the planting area, and Deng Bo cautiously said that he would "look again".

According to flower farmers, roses are suitable for rotation planting, and cannot be planted on a piece of land for a long time, which is also the reason why some foreign farmers leave Qingqi. A person familiar with the rose market said that the large growers in Nanhai and Guangzhou adjust their scale according to the market every year, and the market changes greatly. Green flower farmers who are still in the growth stage are facing great market risks. In the interview, the reporter also found that some rose growers have reduced the planting area of roses and replanted chrysanthemums with relatively stable prices to reduce risks.
