Ma Juxiang said that one of his tomato greenhouse greenhouses now has earned 60 thousand yuan, and by the end of August this year, the income of 80 thousand yuan will not be a problem. The income is better than that of Ma, and a greenhouse can earn about 100000 yuan a year. "When tomatoes first appeared on the new year's day this year, it was 7 yuan / Jin, now it is 3 yuan / Jin, compared with last year, the price of tomatoes has increased by 30% this year."

In the first half of this year, the "unmarketable" situation of vegetables all over the country was serious, but the "stony" brand of cherry tomatoes had a smooth market, which was related to the consumption concept of the tomato as a fruit.
it is understood that the planting area of cherry tomatoes has reached more than 30 thousand mu, making it the largest cherry tomato production base in the country.
