Yan Zhuo Vegetables

　　The facility vegetable cultivation area in Yan Zhuo Village, Huangma Township, Qingpu District, spans 2,685 mu. The vegetable varieties include chili peppers, green beans, leafy greens, celery, lettuce, and edamame, with the main variety being Huai’an Red Chili. Facility vegetable farming has largely achieved large-scale contiguous planting. As part of the “One Village, One Product” development initiative, cooperatives have been leveraged as leading forces to promote this model. By strengthening leadership, promoting awareness, and training farmers, close ties have been forged between farmers and cooperatives, thereby advancing the development of “One Village, One Product” toward larger scale and more intensive production. In recent years, Yan Zhuo Village has undertaken a number of projects including the National Agricultural Development Land Management Project, Nanjing Agricultural University’s “Technology for Alleviating Continuous Cropping Obstacles in Facility Vegetables,” Yangzhou University’s “Integrated Control Technology and Promotion for Tobacco Whitefly in Greenhouse Chili Peppers,” and training programs at Qingpu District Agricultural Broadcasting School’s Field Schools. These efforts have continuously propelled the advancement of the ‘One Village, One Product’ initiative.
