Nangong City, Xingtai, Hebei experienced a strict closure of the city from January this year in the high-risk area of the Epidemic for nearly two months, which brought unimaginable harm to local farmers as well. Farmers in Nangong City exploded this closure policy directly led to a heavy loss of harvest and income.
The yellow leek is a specialty of Nangong City, Beixiang Xiao Guan village is the main planting base, local farmers almost every Family cultivated yellow leek, made into bonsai for sales for a living. March 13, growers Shi Huaiqiang (a pseudonym) told the local epidemic was subject to extreme closure of the village closed households, resulting in leek buds all rotten, he himself lost more than 600,000 yuan (RMB, the same below), the village villagers losses reached 4.6 million yuan.
“Personnel are not allowed to move, blocked in the house, leeks are rotten”
Shi Huaiqiang said the local epidemic affected by the city closed for nearly two months, “from January 3 to February 26, after which it was slowly unblocked, and only recently began to unblock, not yet completely unblocked.” He said.
He said that leaving the city shall have a nucleic acid report within seven days, no is not able to get out, “I planted (leeks) in the greenhouse, sales are not allowed to go out, personnel are not allowed to move, blocked in the house, leeks are bad, are rotten.”
“Just start planting from March, planted to the beginning of winter into the season of light snow harvest, within a year can not be harvested, waiting to raise a year of roots, planted inside the pot, sold out by courier, growing inside people’s homes.” Shihuaiqiang said, “Now because they are loaded up, the express are stopped state, are stranded at Home, are rotten.”
He said he lost more than 600,000 yuan, “We have nearly 4.6 million yuan of losses for the whole village. Our whole village basically planted this yellow leek.”
Shihuaiqiang has been engaged in the yellow leek cultivation project for 16 years, “in China, I am the first to do this leek bonsai.” He said, “This is our local specialty. The yellow leek is easy to break down after transporting out, and the leek roots used to grow in the greenhouse and sell the leeks after they grew out, which is not convenient for transportation, so it was improved and planted inside the pot and bought to grow at home.”
“Every year I invest more than 300,000, this year are lost, lost!” He said, “Management, let’s say this leek seeds, to choose high-quality leek seeds, fertilizers are using organic fertilizers, I use fermented pure sheep manure, the cost are particularly high.”
“This year’s loss is equal to three or four years of white work.”
Shihuaiqiang believes that sales are not a problem if there is no city closure, and they usually arrange planting according to customer orders. He said, “Now all of a sudden you can’t transport, there is no express, there is nothing.” “During the city closure, it’s not called out. I’m a volunteer worker and I can’t go out either, I can only serve in my own neighborhood.”
“The roads are all closed, there are barriers, no cars allowed in, no cars allowed out, no movement.” He talked about the blockade, even in the countryside the doors of his home were “sealed with wire.
“There was no income at all, like workers’ salaries, which were negative. Even the workers’ salaries are not paid out.” He feels helpless, and leeks are still different from other crops, and when the Time is over, no one wants them. “It’s all killed off, and leeks just don’t grow anymore even when they’re planted in the ground.” He said.
Faced with such a dilemma, he feels at a loss, “Which department up there, and no one is in charge, and no one is asking. We don’t know who to turn to, and our whole village has lost money.” “At the beginning, the investment reached more than 400,000, and this year, the loss is equal to three or four years of work for nothing.”
