劉志坤的“山楂樹之戀”

趙東山 陳明

在山東省淄博市沂源縣悅莊鎮崔家莊村，村里的許多農民通過山楂種植、加工紛紛走上致富道路。而在這個產業從苦澀走向甜蜜的歷程中，有著一段劉志坤與山楂樹的故事。

今年63歲的劉志坤，是崔家莊村一名有著40多年黨齡的老黨員。1983年，正值青春年華的劉志坤退伍回村后發現，作為村民們重要收入來源的山楂種植產業，由于與市場需要對接不暢通等原因，采收的果子常因賣不出去而壞掉。面對果農的困境，經過多方考察，劉志坤決定發展果品深加工產業，解決果農們的銷售難題。當年，劉志坤便在崔家莊村建起了山楂果脯、山楂罐頭、炒紅果等山楂深加工企業，不但使村里的山楂果有了穩定的銷路，還通過山楂加工帶動了村民就業。

劉志坤常說，發展家鄉，帶領鄉親們脫貧致富，才是他回鄉創業的初心和使命。多年來，在做大企業的同時，劉志坤時刻不忘依靠產業引領鄉親們走共同富裕的路子。在推進精準扶貧中，劉志坤和企業積極擔當，主動與鎮村聯合，依托企業優勢創設了“公司+現代特色農業+基地+貧困戶+產業”的精準扶貧發展模式，與村民、基地、合作社建立訂單式生產關系，訂單式、保護價收購果農的果品，提升了村民的致富信心和內生動力。同時，他積極建立“扶貧車間”，全力為貧困人口創設就業崗位，多方吸納、安置貧困群眾和農村剩余勞動力到企業務工。目前，企業年安置季節工和常年用工村民達600多人。

時至今日，劉志坤的山楂深加工產業成為集果脯、果糕、果汁研發、生產、銷售于一體的、年產值過億元的國家級林業龍頭企業、省級農業產業化龍頭企業。隨著企業的不斷發展，劉志坤將更多的精力投入到對社會的回饋上。幾年來，他先后投入各類扶貧資金和向社會捐贈資金達400余萬元，累計直接受益貧困群眾4719人，穩步帶動3000余戶貧困群眾實現增收脫貧。同時，他以產業項目資金分紅的方式為扶貧村、戶提供增收來源，鞏固提升脫貧成果，實現穩定增收。劉志坤說，山楂樹上有著他和鄉親們的夢想，他要和鄉親們一起努力呵護，讓它長成山鄉富裕的大產業。

LIU ZHIKUNS “LOVE FOR HAWTHORNS”

63-year-old Liu Zhikun is an old CPC member of over 40 yearsstanding in Cuijiazhuang Village， Zibo City， Shandong Province. In 1983， after leaving the army and returning to the village， Liu Zhikun in the prime of life found that for the hawthorn planting industry—one of villagers important sources of income， picked fruits were unmarketable and rotted too quickly due to obstructed connections with market needs and other reasons. Considering the plight of fruit growers， after many investigations， Liu Zhikun decided to develop the intensive processing of fruits to solve their difficulty in sales. In those years， under the overall planning by the village party branch and the village committee， Cuijiazhuang Village established intensive haw processing enterprises concerning preserved haws， canned haws， and haw compotes， which not only brought stable sales for the haws in the village， but also boosted villagers employment through haw processing.

Over the years， while developing his enterprise， Liu Zhikun has been leading villagers to seek common prosperity in reliance upon the industry. In the process of advancing targeted poverty alleviation， Liu Zhikun has established MTO （make-toorder） relations with villagers， bases and cooperatives， and purchased fruit from growers at a protected price in an order-based form， thereby enhancing villagers confidence in acquiring wealth and internal driving forces. Meanwhile， he actively built“Workshops for Poverty Alleviation”. So far， his enterprise could employ more than 600 villagers as seasonal workers and permanent workers every year.

Today， Liu Zhikuns intensive haw processing industry has become a national leading forestry enterprise and a provincial leading enterprise of agricultural industrialization integrating the R & D， production and sales of preserved fruit， fruitcakes and juice， with an annual output value exceeding RMB 100 million. Moreover， Liu Zhikuns contribution to society is growing with his enterprise.
