After our newspaper first reported on the difficult situation of our city's orange farmers selling oranges, in recent days, the problem of our city's orange farmers selling oranges has touched everyone's hearts. The municipal government has come to buy "love oranges", and enthusiastic business owners have also come to buy "love oranges"... Yesterday, Wang Huawen, the general manager of Lishui Ouyi Bearing Manufacturing Co., Ltd., came to Taiping Village, Taiping Township, Liandu District and purchased 12000 pounds of "love oranges" from the struggling orange farmers.
After advocating and reporting on the purchase of "Love Orange" by relevant units and enterprises, many units and enterprises have joined this ranks. After seeing the report, Wang Huawen, the general manager of Ouyi Bearing, contacted our newspaper and expressed his willingness to purchase a batch of "love oranges" from struggling orange farmers. With the contact of our reporter and the promotion office of the Liandu District Agriculture Bureau, Wang Huawen and four low-income orange farmers from Taiping Village and Zhuzhou Village in Taiping Township have joined forces. Under the contact of Taiping Township Citrus Cooperative, Wang Huawen purchased 12000 catties of "Love Orange" at a price twice the market price. Fu Chenyou from Taiping Village is a low-income household. His wife is sick and his children are studying. Although the early oranges he picked this year only weigh a few thousand pounds, they are the hope of his family. He said that a few days ago, no one wanted a kilogram of tangerines for 20 cents, and he was very anxious as he was about to rot. He didn't expect to sell them for 40 cents today. Orange farmer Li Guojun is a disabled person, and this "Love Orange" acquisition will also buy thousands of pounds of oranges that once left him at a loss.
After the acquisition of this batch of "Love Oranges", all of them will be given to over 400 sanitation workers in the urban area through the municipal sanitation department. Wang Huawen said that sanitation workers are very hardworking and hopes to express their gratitude through this. He also hopes that more people can lend a helping hand to help the orange farmers overcome difficulties together.
