Chapter 225: The Courage of the Three Parties
Huo Bin's confidence in establishing the "blueberry capital" in China is not only because of the blueberry planting and management technology he has mastered, but also because the Ganyu County Government has vigorously supported blueberries as a new industry.
Although Ganyu County has fertile plains, the economic development of the county is extremely unbalanced.
The mountainous area to the northwest is not really a high mountain range, and it might be more appropriate to describe it as hilly.
There are some mines in the hilly area, all of which are small and on the verge of depletion, and the environmental damage caused by mining is quite serious.
The idea of the rulers of Ganyu County is to take the initiative to close down small mining areas, take the road of ecological development, and take the initiative as soon as possible.
But the reality in front of us is that the mining area is closed, how can so many people be employed? What can be done on a barren hill?
There are many people and little land in Ganyu County, and even the barren mountainous areas are also developed. But there is no suitable industry, and the income can be imagined.
Half of the area has entered the well-off, and the other half is a poor area, which is the current situation of Ganyu County.
After some investigation and market investigation, the Ganyu County Government found that a large number of red and yellow soil mountains in the mountainous and hilly areas were abandoned due to "acidity, barrenness and stickiness", which were very suitable for planting blueberries, a typical acid-loving crop - Huo Bin's blueberry experimental garden fully confirmed this.
Of course, there are no fewer problems. Blueberries are not easy to grow and manage, and farmers are not enthusiastic about their production, and although blueberries are known as the "queen of fruits" and are expensive, the future of the domestic market is uncertain.
Rao is so, Ganyu County still decided to go all out to support the blueberry industry. After all, this is the most suitable and reliable industrial poverty alleviation in the history of poverty alleviation in Ganyu County so far.
To this end, Ganyu County did not hesitate to attract the landing of Jiagu Ranch with preferential conditions.
"Because, the blueberry industry in Ganyu County and the Wantou Ranch in Jiagu are actually a match made in heaven. Huo Binle said.
"Growing blueberries requires a high level of soil environment and management techniques. Blueberries have strict requirements for the h-value of the soil, preferring only acidic soils. In addition to this, it requires the soil to be relatively fertile, with good water permeability and high organic matter content. ”
"But for the average farmer, it is very difficult to change the soil. First, it cannot be blindly transformed, according to local planting conditions, and second, it needs enough organic fertilizer. ”
Qi Zheng said, "It just so happens that for a 10,000-head ranch, the most difficult pain to eliminate may be the 'environmental pain'. Look at 1 wool 2 lines 3 Chinese network because the scientific and harmless treatment of cow manure is a very troublesome problem. ”
"However, we at Jiagu Farm have a responsible attitude and solid measures to completely harmless the manure generated by the farm. Manure is used to make biogas, biogas is used to generate electricity for pastures and processing plants, and biogas residue and biogas slurry are used to make organic fertilizer, which can not only irrigate 100,000 acres of alfalfa pasture near the pasture, but also plant blueberries for farmers in Ganyu County. ”
According to the experience of Jiagu's first 10,000-head pasture, a large ranch with 50,000 cows can produce at least nearly 1,000 tons of cow manure and 3,400 tons of cow urine every day, which is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus.
If it is a ranch of other dairy enterprises, the requirements for harmless treatment and environmental protection pressure are very large, and a large amount of money needs to be invested in pollutant treatment, which is simply unbearable.
However, Jiagu Ranch has a group of "super fermentation bacteria" cultivated in the laboratory, which can turn waste into treasure. A huge amount of feces is not only not a nuisance, but also a treasure.
Ganyu County has introduced a large-scale ranch that is second to none in terms of scale and output value in China, and has also solved the shortage of organic fertilizer for blueberry planting, and introduced a strong leading agricultural enterprise for the development of blueberry industry.
......
Therefore, the blueberry industry in Ganyu County is actually a tripartite cooperative development.
Jiagu Agricultural Company and Huo Bin invested in the establishment of Jialan Fruit Company, a blueberry agricultural enterprise that grows, produces, packages and sells fresh fruits on a large scale, and the government is responsible for introducing preferential measures to support it.
Some time ago, the Ganyu County Government signed a cooperation agreement with Jialan Fruit Industry on the modern blueberry industry chain project.
This blueberry industry project will build a "five-in-one" blueberry industry chain integrated service platform in Ganyu County, and plans to build a world-class standard blueberry R&D center and laboratory, a new blueberry variety breeding and tissue culture breeding base, an international standard modern blueberry planting and production demonstration base, a warehousing and sorting processing logistics base, and a sales center, forming a high-end blueberry industry chain cluster in Ganyu County, and making Ganyu County the "blueberry capital" in China.
Through the model of "leading + base + cooperatives + farmers", it is expected that the entire Ganyu County will form the largest blueberry production base in China with an annual output value of 5 billion yuan, and at the same time, drive the development of surrounding farmers and cooperatives to plant 5 to 100,000 acres of blueberry bases, and achieve an increase of 3 billion yuan in farmers' income, involving 98 poor villages and 10,000 poor households.
And because the blueberry harvest needs to be picked manually, this project is expected to absorb 30% of the county's labor force and 60% of the hilly and mountainous areas, and the radiation will drive more farmers to increase their income.
After Zhang Xuansong and Pan Hua of Yonghui Supermarket learned about the specific blueprint of the project, they were shocked by the courage of the three parties.
That's right, in the eyes of the two, in a sense, all three parties are "stupid and bold".
First of all, the Ganyu County Government, not like other places, poverty alleviation is just to send money to poor households, but adhere to the policy, funds to the blueberry industry, the limited agriculture-related special funds gathered, bundled use, subsidized farmers and enterprises, especially highlight the cultivation and expansion of leading enterprises, to maximize the benefits of limited funds.
For example, the Ganyu County Government has specially issued and implemented the "Interim Measures for Financial Interest Discounts for Blueberry Planting", arranging special funds for financial discounts on project loans.
Among them, Jialan Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. is the largest leading enterprise supported by the government, and it can even be said to be the only modern enterprise in the whole industry chain integrating blueberry breeding, planting, research and development, deep processing and sales.
"With the leading enterprises, the farmers' blueberries can not be sold. It is reported that the governor of Ganyu County said so in an interview with local reporters.
He believes that only by supporting leading enterprises can we extend the industrial chain, increase the added value of products, and enhance the overall efficiency of the industry. "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big trees, which can benefit more farmers. ”
Of course, the leading enterprises that enjoy support must also feed back to farmers, for example, they must provide free technical guidance and training to farmers, and give priority to farmers in supplying high-quality seedlings.
Everyone knows that it is easy to make mistakes in doing more, and if it were not for the great determination to help farmers get rid of poverty, the Ganyu County Government would not have been able to do this.
What Zhang Xuansong admires the most is the sobriety of the rulers of Ganyu County, even if it supports the development of the industry, the government does not intervene in it, but as a planner and guide, the specific operation of the industry is handed over to professional agricultural enterprises, which is really rare.
Secondly, Huo Bin is not an ordinary person.
It is said that after a dismal defeat, there will be some lingering palpitations in the future, but he didn't.
After the introduction of Jiagu by the Ganyu County Government, he recommended himself and resolutely persuaded his family to take out most of the family's funds to establish Jialan Fruit Company with Jiagu.
Although it only accounts for 18 shares, it can be said that it is all it has, if the blueberry industry in Ganyu County suffers a major setback, Huo Bin, who failed again, will not even have a guarantee for the bottom.
Zhang Xuansong and Pan Hua didn't know whether to say that he had courage, or not to hit the south wall and not look back.
In the end, it is naturally Jiagu Group.
As far as the two know, this is the first time that Jiagu Group has set foot in the field of fruit production, and they have chosen the "rare" industry of blueberry planting, which can only be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
You know, blueberries are planted to blossom and bear fruit in the second year, but the yield is small, the third year has a certain yield, and the fifth year can enter the harvest period, which is a cash crop that requires full patience to wait for harvest.
Ganyu County did not want to support the blueberry industry to alleviate poverty and become rich this year, but the agricultural enterprises contacted without exception are not optimistic about the blueberry industry development blueprint. Everyone thinks that blueberries are not easy to grow, the planting cycle is long, and the harvest can only be seen after a few years of investment, even if they are planted, the surrounding market demand is not large, and the market is also a problem.
Although according to the current price, the gross profit of blueberry planting can reach 70%, which is a high-profit industry, but the initial investment is large and requires intensive cultivation.
In the first three years, almost all of the input was not output, the soil was improved, the seedlings were introduced, the ground irrigation, insecticidal lamps and other infrastructure had to be matched, and the fertilization, weeding, and picking all had to be done manually...... Before the fruit, it was a loss every year.
Zhang Xuansong estimates that Jiagu has invested more than 10,000 yuan per mu in blueberry planting mountains, so that the construction of 100,000 acres of blueberry plantations will require an investment of 1 billion.
Planting risks aside, everyone knows the truth that agriculture depends on the weather for food, even if Jiagu Group is an expert in this area, it is not immune; more importantly, even if there is a bumper harvest, the risk of unsalable blueberries is also extremely great.
The so-called unsalable does not mean that things cannot be sold, after all, as long as the price is low enough, things will be sold.
But everything has a production cost, lower than the production cost, the producer will only sell more and more money, for this producer will not choose to sell cheaply, and there is a "unsalable" situation.
Could it be that this is also one of the reasons why Jiagu wants to take a stake in Yonghui Supermarket? Zhang Xuansong couldn't help but think more.
But this is not just a problem that can be solved by controlling the channel, or that sentence, if the people do not accept it, they will not be able to sell at a price, and if they do not sell at a price higher than or even significantly higher than the cost, the more they sell, the more they lose.
What Zhang Xuansong and Pan Hua don't understand the most is that, in addition to deep processing, where does Qi Zheng have the confidence to make blueberries, a niche market with relatively high production costs, into a quasi-mass market that more consumers can consume?
