Fugou County in Zhoukou enjoys the title of Vegetable Capital in Central Plains, and the main vegetables planted are as follows.

The vegetable planting in Fugou mainly takes the production team as the unit, planning a small vegetable garden of 5 to 8 mu, planting cucumber, pepper, eggplant and other varieties, and distributing the harvested vegetables to the members. At that time, the planting management technology was backward and the variety of vegetables was single. The output is concentrated in summer and autumn. Winter is limited to hoarding Chinese cabbage and locally stored white radish. In spring, they are basically idle, and there are no vegetables to grow. Before 1980, the vegetable planting area in Fugou County was less than 2000 mu.

Since 1978, China has implemented comprehensive reform and opening up, successively implemented the household contract responsibility system and implemented the "vegetable basket" project and other policies to benefit farmers, which greatly liberated rural productive forces and brought development opportunities to Fugou County.

Fugou County Party Committee and government guide farmers to constantly adjust planting structure, expand the proportion of cash crops, and actively develop vegetable industry. 1980 introduced bamboo and wood greenhouses from Beijing sijiqing commune, 1982 innovated and promoted the "six-in-six-reform" agricultural multiple cropping and interplanting model ... Since then, Fugou county has started to grow vegetables on a large scale, gradually forming a wealthy industry in the rural economy.

In 2005, Fugou County established the first vegetable bureau in the province, and set up a quality testing center for pollution-free agricultural products. 20 10 fugou county was recognized as a national key vegetable industry county by the former Ministry of agriculture.

20 10 fugou county established school-land cooperation with Henan agricultural university, and established fugou vegetable research institute of Henan agricultural university to promote the "second revolution" of fugou vegetable production.

Factory seedling, soilless culture, water and fertilizer integration, multi-span greenhouse, giant sunlight greenhouse from north to south? Fugou county has gradually formed an integrated development model of vegetable industrial chain with complete models, advanced technology, diverse varieties, broad market and good benefits. In recent years, Fugou County Party Committee and county government put forward the development strategy of "Central Plains Vegetable Capital", vigorously promoted the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure, closely combined the development of vegetable industry with rural revitalization, built a modern vegetable industrial system, and turned the "small vegetable basket" into a "golden rice bowl" for county-level large industries and the masses.

From single-handedness to model innovation

Caoxiang is one of the main planting areas of protected vegetables in Fugou County. In 2005, the township began to develop giant greenhouses with an area ranging from 56 mu to 15 mu. Two seasons of vegetables were planted in early spring and autumn, mainly cucumbers and eggplants.

20 1 1 year, Fan Qingyu, secretary of the Party branch of Jiafan Village in Caoli Township, led the village "two committees" to emancipate their minds, boldly tried to break the original boundaries of farmers' land, and transferred 1000 mu of cultivated land to the village party branch for large-scale operation. Centralized management of land circulation has solved a series of problems such as low vegetable planting efficiency, backward production facilities and weak collective economy, and promoted the overall development of the village.

At the same time, Fanjiacun also established a vegetable professional cooperative led by the village party branch, which implemented unified planting, unified management and unified sales, and promoted more than 200 farmers around to develop vegetable planting.
