Kang’erlai Vegetables

　　Zhongnanqu Village boasts geographical advantages such as a well-developed livestock industry and abundant sunlight. Following the “five-in-one rural ecological model,” the village has built a 2,000-acre facility agriculture demonstration zone by connecting biogas pits to both animal husbandry above and production below. In this demonstration zone, only organic manure is used, and methods such as foliar spraying of biogas slurry, root irrigation with biogas residue, hanging yellow sticky traps for pests, and using insect-proof nets have been employed to control the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides at the source. This has led to a production pattern featuring tiered planting, year-round production, and seasonal supply.

　　 In addition, Zhongnanqu Village has successfully explored an operational model of “village committee + cooperative + base + market + farmers,” establishing the “Hangjinhouqi Kang’erlai Green Food Professional Cooperative.” This cooperative leads all farmers in the village to achieve large-scale planting, standardized production, and branded sales. It implements an “eight unifications” operating model: unified annual production planning, unified contract farming, unified technical training, unified management standards, unified agricultural supply distribution, unified graded harvesting, unified quality inspection, and unified packaging and sales. This has formed a full industrial chain service system that guides planting beforehand, assists in management during production, and handles unified sales afterward. The village’s “Kang’erlai” brand vegetables have been recognized as a Famous Trademark of Inner Mongolia. The village plants an average of 5,000 acres of high-quality vegetables annually and has built facilities including a 600㎡ fruit and vegetable preservation warehouse, an 800㎡ exhibition and sales hall for green agricultural products and farming culture, a 7,200㎡ agricultural product purchasing and trading plaza, a 4,000㎡ sorting and packaging workshop, and an agricultural supply distribution center. The village exports 9,000 tons of fresh vegetables annually and sells 15,000 tons locally, with a per capita net income of 23,000 yuan. It also indirectly benefits over 5,600 surrounding farming households, increasing their average annual income by more than 6,400 yuan. Zhongnanqu Village has been named a “National Advanced Unit for Science Popularization to Benefit Agriculture and Enrich Villages” by the China Association for Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance, and is also recognized as a Model Village for New Rural Development in the region.
