The Brief
People's Daily reported that Wuqing District in Tianjin has cultivated its specialty green radish sector, with standardized radish planting reaching 12000 mu in Daliang Town alone, connecting 15 villages for linked development.
At a planting base in Beizhaozhuang Village, Daliang Town, 174 second-generation all-steel warm greenhouses cover 448 mu of land, utilizing Internet of Things monitoring devices, smart drip irrigation, and field micro-meteorological stations.
A specialized cooperative sorting workshop in Wuqing District washes, air-dries, and grades fresh harvest along a production line, sorting radishes by size, weight, and appearance while applying traceable QR codes to each product.
The radish planting base established large smart cold-storage facilities using immediate post-harvest pre-cooling technology to lengthen produce shelf life and maintain seasonal supply across all four seasons.
Why it matters
Daliang Town Party Committee Secretary Han Dongqing reported that extending the industrial chain added sorting, packaging, warehousing, and logistics jobs, creating flexible local employment for surrounding villagers, particularly left-behind women and elderly residents.
