Chapter 423: How to Defeat Them (3/3)
Jiagu's move to promote cane and bean intercropping technology in Gui Province according to local conditions and cultivate "new cane farmers" on a large scale has slowly attracted the attention of the government.
The original intention of introducing Jiagu was to explore a new path for the development of the sugar industry.
Now seeing the frequent actions, not only the local government, but also competitors are curious about the effectiveness of Jiagu.
Therefore, after obtaining the consent of Jiagu, the Gui Provincial Sugar Association organized a group of experts and industry insiders to inspect the sugar industry chain of Jiagu Sugar.
The heads of Guoliang Tunhe and Bright Sugar have joined the team, hoping to get a glimpse of the strength of Jiagu Sugar.
Without sugarcane raw materials, a sugar mill is nothing. So, of course, the first target is the sugar cane fields.
In fact, whether it is the experts in the team or other industry insiders, they are no strangers to the sugarcane intercropping model, and their only interest is the yield of sugarcane and soybeans.
Although it is not yet ripe, the lush growth of sugarcane and soybeans makes people very interested.
Someone in the team directly asked He Jinsong, a technician of Jiagu Agricultural Materials: "Looking at this growth, how much is the predicted yield of soybeans?"
He Jinsong said calmly: "It is about an average yield of 200 kilograms of dried soybeans per mu." ”
"Really?" immediately asked an expert in surprise.
According to their experience, the maximum yield per mu of soybean and sugarcane will not exceed 150 kg. If the yield of Jiagu is implemented, it will definitely be a typical example of the high yield of intercropping soybeans in this province.
According to the local market price of dried soybeans, that is to say, the sugarcane fields planted with soybeans in Jiagu can increase by about 600 yuan per mu, which is comparable to the income of one mu of sugarcane, but this is only three months.
This is not a small attraction for sugar cane farmers – just look at Yang Futang, a smiling old sugar cane farmer next to him.
As for sugarcane production?
Looking at the tall sugarcane in the sugarcan field, the two of them secretly paced in their hearts, did the sugarcane in their sugarcane area grow so well?
The answer is no.
Although there are important indicators such as sugar content, and it is possible that there will be high production and low sugar production, but that is just self-comfort.
Subsequently, the experts' yield measurement also showed that He Jinsong's words were true: "Jiagu made full use of the height and early space, which not only inhibited the growth of weeds between the cane rows, but also reduced the evaporation of soil moisture, improved the drought resistance of sugarcane, thereby increasing the yield of sugarcane, and finally achieved a double harvest of sugarcane and early soybeans......
The expert group unanimously agreed that Jiagu has achieved remarkable results in the application of intercropping between soybean and sugarcane and other crops, and is currently the enterprise with the highest level of intercropping between soybean and sugarcane and other crops in Guizhou Province.
As soon as this conclusion came out, the team had different thoughts.
......
There is nothing to say about the sugar mill, all of them are similar, and what really attracts everyone's attention is the comprehensive utilization of sugarcane resources by Jiagu Sugar Industry.
As we all know, Jiagu Sugar has the most advanced and highest value-added cane sugar industry chain in Australia, but it can be clearly seen that Jiagu Sugar has not copied this model in China.
For example, Australia's sugar industry generally uses bagasse to generate electricity and fuel steam engines, which is the industry most supported by the Australian government.
But at home, without government subsidies, this is clearly uneconomical.
The person in charge of Guoliang Tunhe and Guangming Sugar still has some regrets about this.
He Jinsong introduced: "We explore the use of the waste liquid produced by sugarcane sugar production to make organic fertilizer and return to the ground, sugarcane tips are used to raise cattle, cow dung is fermented in the pond to produce biogas, biogas slurry is returned to the field, and even sugarcane bagasse is used to raise mushrooms......
In front of everyone is a medium-sized cattle farm under construction, as well as a mushroom breeding shed that has already been built.
To everyone's surprise, mushrooms have already begun to be grown in the mushroom shed.
He Jinsong explained: "Adding cow dung to bagasse and sugarcane shoots, after accumulation, fermentation, and turning, can be made into the best culture material suitable for the growth of agaricus mushroom. Now bagasse is limited, we are only trial production......"
"Matsutake mushrooms?" Many people were surprised, can the precious matsutake mushrooms be cultivated here?
"Oh, although it's a word difference, agaricus is a completely different fungus from matsutake mushrooms, it is also called Brazil mushroom, and the price is much cheaper than matsutake mushrooms. He Jinsong hurriedly explained.
Agaricus mushrooms originated in Brazil, and were later confirmed by the islanders to have anti-cancer and immunity-boosting effects, so they became famous.
"It has an anti-cancer effect, and the price will definitely not be low, right?"
He Jinsong said lightly: "It's okay, according to the quality of the agaricus mushroom cultivated by our company, the price after processing is about 150 yuan per catty." ”
Because of the different origins, quality, and markets of agaricus mushrooms, its price varies greatly. Of course, the quality of the agaricus mushrooms cultivated by Jiagu is basically the top, and the price is naturally the highest.
A mushroom shed covering an area of only 0.2 acres can harvest ten mushrooms a year, produce 3,000 kilograms of mushrooms per year, and have an annual output value of more than 400,000 ...... Looking at the hundreds of mushroom sheds side by side in front of them, everyone was silent.
Where is this mushroom shed, it's simply a "golden nest"!
There is no need to look at other projects, just using bagasse as a raw material to cultivate agaricus mushroom, you can see how much additional benefits the comprehensive utilization of sugarcane resources in the industrial chain of Jiagu Sugar Factory can bring.
The persons in charge of Guoliang Tunhe and Guangming Sugar were inexplicably heavy.
He Jinsong didn't say, and they didn't know, in addition to traditional white sugar and red sugar, Jiagu Food Laboratory also developed refined sugar, high-end medicinal brown sugar, liquid syrup, fructooligosaccharides and other products through cooperation, and was ready to plan to compete with imported syrups from Japan and South Korea.
In the case of fructooligosaccharides, the market price is more than 30 times the price of ordinary cane sugar – the value of a sugar cane that can be "squeezed" has risen to a new level than ever before.
However, the heads of the two large domestic sugar companies also thought that if it was a market with good sugar returns like this year, the gap between them and Jiagu Sugar would be nothing more than a matter of making more and making less money, but if it was a situation where sugar prices were low and the industry lost money as in previous years, it might be the difference between life and death.
After all, even if Jiagu Sugar also loses money in the sugar business, it makes a lot of money in other links of the industrial chain.
Fortunately, the person in charge of Bright Sugar has never been so clearly aware that the future competition has been upgraded from the competition between products, enterprises and even the supply chain to the competition in the industrial ecosystem.
The question now is, how can I defeat the industrial ecosystem that has begun to take shape?
