刘志坤的"山楂树之恋"

LIU ZHIKUN'S"LOVE FOR HAWTHORNS"

在山东省淄博市沂源县悦庄镇崔家庄村,村里的许多农民通过山楂种植、加工纷纷走上致富道路.而在这个产业从苦涩走向甜蜜的历程中,有着一段刘志坤与山楂树的故事.今年63岁的刘志坤,是崔家庄村一名有着40多年党龄的老党员.1983年,正值青春年华的刘志坤退伍回村后发现,作为村民们重要收入来源的山楂种植产业,由于与市场需要对接不畅通等原因,采收的果子常因卖不出去而坏掉.面对果农的困境,经过多方考察,刘志坤决定发展果品深加工产业,解决果农们的销售难题.当年,刘志坤便在崔家庄村建起了山楂果脯、山楂罐头、炒红果等山楂深加工企业,不但使村里的山楂果有了稳定的销路,还通过山楂加工带动了村民就业.
