Zhong Rujiang, head of the plantation, said that the sugarcane varieties they chose have undergone multiple trials and comparisons to ensure adaptation to the local climate and soil conditions, and have the best sweetness and taste.

 

In order to promote the healthy growth of sugarcane, the soil is deeply ploughed to ensure that it is loose, which is conducive to root development, and drip irrigation technology is adopted to precisely control water to reduce waste and soil erosion.

 

 

The sugarcane, sweet and juicy, is priced at 10 to 15 yuan per cane, attracting many tourists to enter the plantation for purchase. “It was an interesting experience to bask in the sun while picking sugarcane and taking photos,” said a passer-by. 

 

Zhong Rujiang said that their sugarcane has been sold to various parts of the country through e-commerce platforms and has become a well-known brand, with numerous repeat customers.

 

“I have learned a lot of agricultural knowledge in the sugarcane plantation and I see hope in agriculture,” said a worker of the plantation. During the sugarcane planting, management, and harvesting period, Zhong Rujiang provides local villagers with temporary job opportunities, which increases villagers’ income and enhances their confidence and interest in the agricultural industry.

 

 

In recent years, Nuanshui Town in Rucheng County has encouraged villages to develop characteristic agricultural industries based on local conditions. The sugarcane plantation has become a model for local agricultural transformation and upgrading, inspiring more villagers to participate in the development of characteristic agricultural industries. 

 

Next, Rucheng County will promote the sugarcane planting experience of Xiangtou Village in the town, and guide villages to develop characteristic agricultural industries.
