Guanzhuang village in Kaiyang county, adopted a development model of "company + large growers + farmers" and planted more than 1,200 mu (80 hectares) of kiwi fruit, with the variety being Guichang kiwi fruit. This has become one of the main industries in the village.

Since the establishment of the kiwi fruit plantation, it has provided jobs to more than 200 people from over 50 local households, with an average monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan ($421). Through land transfer, land shareholding, and employment, farmers increase their income by at least 8,000 yuan per household per year, with the highest reaching 50,000 yuan.

This year, the yield per mu can reach about 1,500 kilograms. Through "online + offline" publicity and promotion, sales channels have been further widened, realizing industrial efficiency and increasing farmers' income.

The growers here have adopted green and ecological planting methods and refined management processes. As a result, the kiwi fruit produced here is juicy and sweet, with a delicate texture, and is deeply loved by many.

Guanzhuang will continue to absorb planting experience, explore a kiwi fruit planting model suitable for the local area, gradually expand the planting scale, and strive to develop deep processing of kiwi fruit.

It aims to increase employment opportunities for farmers and increase their incomes, while making the kiwi fruit industry a major driver of local economic growth.
