Summer Rice Planting in Full Swing in Qujing’s Zhanyi District

As the key summer transplanting season arrives, paddy fields in Longquan Community, Longhua Subdistrict, Zhanyi District of Qujing City, Yunnan Province, are fully filled with irrigation water, ushering in the busiest period for rice cultivation. Local farmers seize the optimal farming window to carry out sequential field work, including seedling lifting, transportation, fertilisation and transplanting across the rural farmland.

Rows of tender green rice seedlings stand neatly in the glistening water paddies. The curved silhouettes of working farmers are clearly reflected on the water surface, forming a vibrant and lively scene of rural summer cultivation. A series of field shots captured in mid-May record the orderly farming procedures unfolding across the local rice fields.

Summer rice planting is a crucial link in regional grain production arrangements. Zhanyi District boasts favourable water and soil conditions suitable for rice growth. Local villagers follow traditional and standardised cultivation procedures to tend to rice seedlings strictly in line with seasonal rhythms, laying solid foundations for stable grain output in the second half of the year.

Rural agricultural production in the area maintains steady and orderly progress. Farmers coordinate every farming procedure efficiently to ensure all rice seedlings are transplanted within the best seasonal timeframe. The well-organised summer farming work helps stabilise local grain supply capacity and sustain the steady development of characteristic rural agriculture in Yunnan’s plateau regions.
