Chapter 193: Such a Good Thing?

"A company is coming to charter the venue!"

The news spread throughout the small and large villages near the Poyang Lake Plain. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net

The local stronghold of Jiagu Agricultural Materials Company was surrounded by farmers who came to consult.

Everyone pulled the staff of Jiagu Agricultural Materials and asked questions about their concerns.

"Don't worry, we're not here to grab jobs, we're not here to grab the market. Yes, of course the land is still your land......"

"We mainly use the method of 'company + farmer' to drive the development of modern agriculture in the local area. To put it simply, our company introduces advanced planting experience to your farmers, solves market problems, and helps establish a connection between farmers and the market, that is, the rice you grow is repurchased by us. โ€

"That's right, you can't sell your paddy? As long as you cooperate with us, the company has established a buyback system to purchase and process the rice grown by everyone, which will bring you direct benefits. If you have an income, you will have the money to pay for your children's school fees and to treat the elderly...... Our company's goal is to make everyone's income stable and life hopeful through good management......"

The staff of Jiagu Agricultural Materials spit on the farmers to introduce the cooperation plan of Jiagu.

Onlookers were talking.

When Dong Qijun, a large rice grower, heard the news, he could only stand on the periphery and inquire about the situation from other farmers.

An acquaintance introduced him to him, "This company called Jiagu said that it could give us financing, you know? In fact, it is borrowing money, but this borrowing is mainly done through barter." โ€

"That is, when we grow rice, they give us seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, and then when the rice is harvested, the farmers pay back with rice. See 1 wool 3 Chinese net"

"The price, they promise that it will definitely be higher than the country's minimum purchase price, depending on the quality, and there will be a specific agreement when signing the contract......

They said that as long as they continue to cooperate, they can postpone it to the next season without interest, and they will have the same seeds, fertilizers, etc. In addition, there is insurance, if you are not at ease, you can also buy an insurance, there is a certain amount of protection......"

Dong Qijun's eyes straightened when he heard this, "There is such a good thing, why do I think it is not reliable?"

His acquaintance said with a fluttering eyebrow, "What are you afraid of? After all, you don't need to spend money to get in." If it is a natural disaster that causes a poor harvest, it will be a loss, and if we cooperate with them, we will not lose money! In my opinion, there is only benefit, not harm. And that's not all......"

In fact, Jiagu is modeled after the strategy of the four major grain merchants to control soybeans, and "make waves" in the domestic staple grain producing areas.

For example, in Brazil, the four major grain merchants firmly control the production and marketing chain of Brazilian soybeans by providing Brazilian farmers with the funds, pesticides, fertilizers, and even post-transportation needed for soybean production in advance.

Similarly, buying and selling has never been the focus of Jiagu's staple food strategy.

Jiagu intends to integrate the rice value industry chain and establish an industrial chain integrating three core businesses: "integration of breeding, multiplication and promotion" of rice seeds, scientific planting promotion and service, and rice processing, warehousing, trade and logistics.

Among them, the positioning of Jiagu agricultural materials is very clear, it is a pioneer.

Although it is one of the "granaries" of the country, there are many varieties of rice in the region, and the production level of farmers is also uneven. Even in order to save money, some farmers use rice seeds from previous years, and the seeds have not been purified and rejuvenated by scientific and technological research and development, resulting in the decline of the quality of their varieties, the increase of impurities, and the poor resistance.

Not only that, there are also problems in field management, when Jiagu Group and the local government inspected and exchanged, the relevant departments pointed out that in recent years, the investment in seed industry technology and agricultural mechanization management is limited, and the local government also hopes to introduce leading enterprises to help improve rice production capacity.

Jiagu Agricultural Materials Company is to bring practical technology, improved seeds, and agricultural machinery that are suitable for the local area.

In order to get a better source of food, Jiagu agricultural materials mainly focus on two points

The first is to select rice varieties with better quality for promotion and planting;

Second, advanced agricultural technology measures.

Advanced agricultural technology measures mainly include soil testing and formula fertilization technology - that is, according to the rice soil testing formula recommended that growers apply fertilizer, which can effectively reduce agricultural non-point source pollution, improve the ecological environment and the quality of agricultural products;

These two technologies have been widely applied and promoted in the three years of planting of Xianming rice and rice, which can be said to be remarkable, and it is also the specialty of Jiagu Agricultural Materials Company.

In addition, there is the promotion of mechanization.

Dong Qijun's acquaintances said to him: "Old Dong, the most difficult thing you felt a few years ago was not the serious shortage of labor and the shortage of agricultural machinery during the 'double robbery' season? If you cooperate with Jiagu, this difficulty is basically not a problem, Jiagu can coordinate labor and agricultural machinery to help you harvest rice ......."

Dong Qijun was thrilled when he heard this, and when there were good returns from growing grain in the past few years, in order to solve the problem of mechanical tension in the "double robbery" season in the long run, he wanted to buy agricultural machinery, and planned to use part of the income from grain planting in the past two years to buy one or two agricultural machinery for cultivated land and harvesting. Unexpectedly, in the past two years, the situation has changed abruptly, the price of rice has fluctuated greatly, and agricultural machinery has not been purchased, but it is in debt.

If he cooperates with Jiagu, he will no longer have to worry about the shortage of labor at harvest time, and he will feel that it is not bad.

In fact, in the face of the instability of the climate during the harvest season, so as to avoid the loss of large areas of rice crops due to untimely harvesting and drying, Jiagu intends to invest in the construction of a grain drying center that integrates grain drying and grain storage in the local area, which not only increases the benefits of its own grain collection and storage, but also solves the problem of grain collection and storage for the surrounding growers, so as to achieve one-stop services such as seedling raising, planting, insect control, farming, grain drying, and technical guidance.

Finally, there is the control technology of rice diseases and pests. Jiagu tries to achieve green prevention and control of pests and diseases in its own Xianming rice planting, and uses measures such as biological protection and biological pesticides, but because of the cost problem, there is no need to think about large-scale promotion here for the time being.

However, after scientific guidance, at least the use of chemical pesticides can be reduced, and the cost of pesticides per mu is expected to drop by about half. This not only effectively controls the pollution of pesticides to the environment, maintains a good ecological environment of paddy fields, but also improves the quality and planting efficiency of paddy.

Dong Qijun's acquaintance finally sighed, "In addition to these, for the cooperative farmers, it is said that Jiagu will also help villagers in difficult areas to build canals, pave cement roads, improve villagers' travel conditions, and provide more preferential subsidies for poor households." To be honest, if it's true, I've never seen such a conscientious company. โ€

Dong Qijun also praised this, it just so happened that the roads in his village were also in disrepair, and if he could get the funding of the rich man, this wave of cooperation would not be a loss.

"Then, there is only one question left, what is the improved seed promoted by Jiagu? Is the yield high? If the yield is not good, even if they guarantee the purchase, it is not cost-effective!" Dong Qijun said with a serious face.
