In July, in the blueberry orchard in Linjiang, many farmers can be seen picking fresh blueberry fruits hard every day.

Different from last year's fruiting, this year's blueberry orchard ushered in a bumper harvest, with an estimated yield of 500 kilograms per mu.

A blueberry tree full of fresh fruit has become a veritable "cash cow" in the eyes of local people.

Since 2008, Linjiang City has vigorously promoted blueberry planting by taking advantage of Changbai Mountain resources.

In order to make the blueberry industry stronger and bigger as soon as possible, Linjiang City actively introduced corresponding preferential policies, gave certain subsidies for blueberry seedlings to immigrant households, and mobilized the enthusiasm of immigrant households to grow blueberries.

At present, Linjiang City has established several blueberry planting bases such as Jiapigou Village and Sidaohezi Village in Linjiang City. The planting area of blueberries has reached more than 4,000 mu, and the estimated income this year is16.4 million yuan.

In order to solve the problem of high cost for growers to buy finished seedlings, Linjiang City cooperated with Jilin Agricultural University to establish a seedling breeding base, and actively explored the use of tissue culture to ensure the quality, quantity and price of seedlings.

At the same time, the seedling breeding base is also actively cultivating blueberry seedlings suitable for the local climate, and the technology of planting blueberry in sloping farmland and barren hills and wasteland has been successful.

At present, there are many varieties of early, middle and late ripening blueberries in Linjiang city, which has formed a unique technical system for planting blueberries in mountainous areas and created new channels for farmers in mountainous areas to increase their income and get rich.

In order to make the blueberry industry develop by leaps and bounds, Linjiang City adopted the development strategy of "leading, building bases, attracting farmers and creating brands", organized enterprises to sign land transfer contracts with local farmers, set up blueberry production associations, and operated in the mode of "company+base+farmers".

At the same time, Linjiang City also made a fuss about the deep processing of blueberries, guiding and supporting powerful enterprises to rely on blueberry cooperatives and blueberry associations to carry out research and development of products such as blueberry jam and dried fruits, and strive to enhance the added value of products.
