Chapter 224: The Capital of Pastures and Blueberries
Qi Zheng and the other three crossed the three provinces and came to Ganyu County in the north of Su Province. See. Wool, Chinese net
Ganyu County is located at the junction of Sulu and Luzhou provinces, bordering Lu Province in the north and the seaport in the west.
The three of them first came to Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry's pasture to build a base in Ganyu County.
Ganyu County is the first foothold of Jiagu's "10,000 Heads Ranch" plan.
After Jiagu opened the site selection of "Wantou Ranch", many local governments were eager to seek talents, among which the Ganyu County Government was the most vigorous and resolute pioneer.
The price of land transfer is low, the guarantee is coordinated to apply for credit funds for 10,000 head pastures, the 100,000 mu of low-yield cultivated land is promoted to be "converted from grain to feed" and pasture grass is planted, and even the supporting projects for the resource utilization of manure are well prepared...... It couldn't be more intimate.
The geographical location of Ganyu County is relatively in line with Jiagu's requirements for pastures - close to the seaport, convenient for the import of forage from the United States, close to the consumer market, pastures and dairy processing plants can radiate the economically developed Sulu Province, and close to the grain producing area, Lu Province is a large corn planting province, which can provide high-quality concentrate feed for pastures......
Hit it off!
Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry soon signed an investment agreement with the Ganyu County Government for the "10,000 Ranch" project, which is divided into four major sectors: dairy farming, high-end dairy product processing, manure resource utilization, and organic ecological agriculture. With a total investment of 1.1 billion yuan, the project covers an area of 5,000 acres and is divided into two phases of construction, the first phase of dairy farming scale of 20,000 heads, the second phase of the introduction of 30,000 dairy cows, and the annual output of fresh milk after the completion of the ranch is about 500,000 tons.
Since the start of construction at the beginning of the month, more than 10 construction armies have braved the cold wind to unite and fight, and the project has been progressing smoothly.
When Qi Zheng arrived, ten cowsheds have been built, and the supporting facilities such as road hardening, feed area, concentrate warehouse, milking parlor and so on in the park have been largely completed, and the remaining projects will be completed and put into use in March next year.
Zhang Xuansong and Pan Hua looked at the construction of the ranch in full swing, although they couldn't help but feel that the Jiagu stall was spread out big enough, and at the same time they were puzzled, what about the good fruit base?
Faced with the doubts of the two, Qi Zheng laughed, "Strictly speaking, the fruit base is actually one of the supporting projects of the ranch. Look at 1 Mao 2 lines 3 Chinese network like this, I will first take you to meet someone. ”
......
On a mountain with an altitude of more than 300 meters in the southwest of Ganyu County, despite the sudden drop in temperature, the top of the mountain is still full of greenery, and a blueberry orchard is located here along the mountain path.
Between the hills, the terraced fields are full of low blueberry trees, and the lush branches and leaves seem to be able to see the fruitful fruits on the fruiting trees, and Huo Bin, who is in his thirties, greeted the three of them at the top of the mountain.
Huo Bin can be regarded as a strange person.
His family started by mining limestone, but Huo Bin's interest was never in the family's mine, but in the field. To put it simply, it is a rich second generation who has a mine at home but tosses endlessly.
In the mid-nineties, when the vast majority of domestic people did not know what blueberries were, Huo Bin began to study blueberries.
"At the time, I saw blueberries on TV and was full of curiosity. I learned that very few people in the province grow it, so I judged that its market prospects are very promising. Huo Bin said to Zhang Xuansong and Pan Hua happily.
After he decided to try planting, he not only bought books to study, but also bought different varieties of blueberry seedlings from the United States and began a long road of planting.
Three years later, the first batch of blueberries that Huo Bin tried to plant bore fruit.
"Don't mention how happy I was at that time, I was the first person in Suzhou Province to eat crabs. With the success of the trial, Huo Bin is even bolder. In the same year, Huo Bin pulled a few friends into the house, raised 10 million yuan, rented hundreds of acres of land in Ganyu County, jointly established a company, and began to plant blueberries on a large scale.
Invest 10 million yuan, purchase more than 100,000 seedlings, and hire dozens of workers...... Huo Bin started a blueberry business in full swing.
Unexpectedly, due to the huge differences in the environment and the different blueberry planting techniques, the northern seedlings purchased by Huo Bin showed symptoms of "water and soil adaptation".
Soon, in the spring of the following year, almost half of Huo Bin's blueberry seedlings died.
"The money invested has been wasted like this, because we underestimate the blueberry planting technology. Huo Bin calmly talked about his past failures. Because of the heavy losses, the investment partners also broke up one after another, and the company ceased to exist.
"The drum didn't hit the point", Huo Bin's first shot not only did not start, but also lost all the family's capital, and became a famous loser in Ganyu County.
After that painful failure experience, Huo Bin did not give up, he learned from the pain, not only systematically learned the knowledge of blueberry planting, but also visited experts everywhere, and established cooperative relations with Agricultural University, Horticulture Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, etc. With the support of scientific research and technology, Huo Chaoyong gradually mastered the core technology of blueberry seedling cultivation.
But the past failures are vivid, whether it is family members or friends, this time no longer support him, "There is a mine at home, what is not good? Why do you want to die in the field?"
"Probably because my parents started out in mining, there must always be unsuccessful descendants who want to return what they get from the ground to the ground. Huo Bin laughed at himself.
It is difficult to develop without funding.
Of course, the threshold for agricultural funding is low, and the scale can be large or small. Big bosses can make a big investment -- millions of dollars; small bosses can make small investments -- tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars; as for the vast number of peasants, they can do it in a scattered way -- an investment of less than a few tens of thousands of yuan.
Without the support of his family, Huo Bin is slightly better than ordinary farmers, and he can barely be a "small boss".
Just when he was about to borrow hundreds of thousands of yuan from a friend and enter the blueberry market again, the Ganyu County Government took a fancy to the blueberry industry and introduced Jiagu's project investment.
......
"So, Jiagu's first fruit base is a blueberry planting base?" Zhang Xuansong said with a surprised face.
Qi Zheng nodded.
Pan Hua also couldn't think of it.
After all, blueberries are too niche in today's country.
They do fresh food, and of course they know what blueberries are. But when I walked to the street and asked a few people, I guess no one knew what blueberries looked like.
Huo Bin saw the expressions of Zhang Xuansong and hurriedly said, "In fact, blueberries are a good thing, and the unique blueberry anthocyanins and other substances in its fruit have the effects of improving eyesight, anti-aging and cancer prevention, and are known as '21st century functional health berries' and 'queen of fruits', and has been listed as one of the five major human health foods by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and has been popular in Europe, America and island countries in recent years." Due to the unique nutritional and health functions of blueberries, they are in great demand in the international market, and the price is expensive, and the product is in short supply. ”
Zhang Xuansong retorted, "But that is abroad, and there is no market for blueberries in China." ”
Huo Bin shook his head, "No, on the contrary, I think the blank of blueberries in the domestic market is the biggest opportunity." ”
Qi Zheng nodded secretly.
The rapid development stage of the domestic blueberry industry should have begun in 09 years, in this stage, industrial and commercial enterprises and financial capital began to invest in large-scale blueberry cultivation throughout the country.
At that time, the blueberry fever broke out in the wildfire, and 27 provinces across the country started the journey of blueberry industrial planting, which was quite extensive, from Hei Province in the north, to Qionghai in the south, and to Tibet and Xinjiang Province in the west. The cultivation pattern is a combination of solar greenhouses, cold sheds and land, which enables the supply of fresh fruit to the market from mid-March to the end of August.
Of course, there is a bubble in it, but behind the "blue whirlwind", there is obviously a huge value embodiment, otherwise capital will not chase the industrialization of blueberries.
Huo Bin doesn't know the future, but he is full of confidence in the technical threshold he has mastered, "In my opinion, as long as Ganyu County seizes the current development opportunities, it will definitely become the blueberry capital of China!"
