In Changning Township, a 10,000-mu potato farming base has become a model of modern agricultural practices. The fields, adorned with white potato flowers, showcase not only the beauty of agricultural landscapes but also the success of innovative farming techniques.
The key to this success lies in the implementation of advanced agricultural facilities:
- Drip Irrigation Systems: The entire base has been equipped with low-flow drip irrigation tapes
- Sedimentation Tanks: 15 new tanks have been added to improve water quality and efficiency
- Mechanization: From planting to harvesting, the process is almost fully mechanized
Technological Innovations
The potato farming project utilizes several cutting-edge technologies:
Water Management System
- Sedimentation process reduces water usage by approximately 10%
- Improved water filtration prevents clogging of irrigation tapes
- Precise water distribution based on crop needs
Operational Efficiency
- Order-based agriculture with partnerships from major companies like PepsiCo, Frito-Lay, and Loti
- Local labor employment increasing farmer incomes
- Land leasing models benefiting local communities
Economic Impact
The project demonstrates a comprehensive approach to agricultural development:
- Increased economic income for local farmers
- Development of collective village economy
- Attraction of investment through successful agribusiness models
- Optimization of industrial structure
The success of the Changning Township potato farming base highlights the potential of modern agricultural techniques in enhancing productivity and sustainability. By integrating advanced irrigation systems, mechanization, and efficient water management, the project serves as a model for future agricultural development in arid regions. The combination of technological innovation and strategic partnerships ensures both environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.
