ABSTRACT

K Village is a multi-ethnic border village where jujube cultivation is being carried out on a large scale. The research found that jujube cultivation in K Village is facing persistent challenges, including fundamental challenges to the fragile ecosystem in the agricultural fields, motivational challenges due to low jujube prices, and practical challenges caused by the lack of regulation in the jujube market. The reasons behind these challenges include the strict resource and technological requirements of economic crops, the unfavorable geographic location in the heart of the desert for market information and agricultural product distribution, and the overreliance on the market economy for economically driven crops, which ultimately results in weak risk-mitigation capabilities. In response, proposed measures to alleviate these challenges include increasing investment in crop research and developing diversified cultivation models, establishing a county-town-village market information dissemination system to enhance information retrieval capabilities, accelerating infrastructure development to improve the circulation of agricultural products, and enhancing the village-level logistics system of rural e-commerce to broaden agricultural product sales channels.
