473 Kenya's first planter
(Thank you friends for showing your true feelings as much as possible, JD monthly pass encouragement)
Harvest time is joyful and busy. And the busiest people on Liu Wenrui's farm are not the workers or the monkeys who help pick coffee berries, but the little seedlings.
This little man is so busy. She had to take a look at everything, she had to play, and then she felt that she didn't have enough time. I can't wait to sleep less and play more every day. I also look forward to having a big bonfire party at home every night, which is fun.
And then the current Lao Liu has a headache, and the little guy is getting more and more difficult to control.
If you want to talk about this, you actually blame him. In the past, Xiao Miaomiao's life was very regular, even if she had to play with the animals, it was a bedtime game. Then I will go to bed obediently and get up early.
But since he and Wang Shasha started a shameless lifestyle, Xiao Miaomiao has really let herself go. In the big room, she was left with the small animals, and her three things every day were eating, sleeping, and playing, and now she was adjusting the time ratio by herself.
In the past two days, because the big guys are immersed in the joy of the harvest, the little seedlings are even more self-free. Anyway, as long as Lao Liu doesn't pay attention to it, you don't know where the little guy has gone.
He has been really busy in the past two days. The main reason why he is so busy is that he has a good harvest of crops here. Nick, the vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, after receiving his notice here, directly started the group visit mode. At least one group of people a day, and three groups will come when they are happy.
Lao Liu really didn't expect that such a normal output would set a benchmark here. If you do this, can you still do something serious every day?
After carrying it for three days, Lao Liu couldn't bear it anymore, "Nick, do you think we can open a big group and let them come over to take a look together, and then this matter is over?"
"Simon, there are a lot of people who live far away and they don't have that much time. Nick said apologetically.
"The high yields of sorghum and corn here also require them to know more about farming. Simon, I'm sorry for the trouble. ”
Nick has spoken softly, what else can Lao Liu say? Anyway, Nick is also one of the members of Harvey's small circle, and this face must also be given.
"Nick, it's not a good idea to come to me. But I feel that these people who came here are also doing useless work. Liu Wenrui thought for a while and said.
"I asked two of our farm's technical directors, and they just took a look. To be honest, they don't have as many as you ask, and our technical guidance has to take the initiative to say it. ”
Nick nodded with a wry smile, "In fact, the per capita arable land area in Kenya is not small, but our food production has always been low, and we also need to import a lot of food from abroad every year. ”
"I just want to let them know that they are also farming and can really harvest more food. I also arranged for reporters to come and interview, hoping that more people would pay attention to the report. ”
"Ask them to reflect on why you have such a high yield of crops here, but so low their own yield. It's definitely not just a matter of using too much or too little fertilizer, I think it's more about field care. ”
"Nick, you're right. "Old Liu is happy.
"Actually, I think the most important thing to change is the question of thinking. As far as I'm concerned, there are a lot of opportunities to make money this year, but even if you smash money in their faces, many people don't want to make this money. ”
Nick shrugged his shoulders, "That's why I'm going to get them all to come and have a look." ”
Lao Liu was stunned and shook his head helplessly. It seems that Nick also knows where Kenyans need to change the most, and he is also worried about it.
But he also feels that it is really difficult for Kenyans who have been accustomed to this life for generations to make a change.
If nothing else, let's just say that the living standards of these people in the Kale tribe are actually much lower than those around them. They work their own, and they don't start from the perspective of wanting to change their lives through labor.
Just because he is their chief, every word that their chief says and everything he commands, they need to listen to and complete with all their might.
This is a very embarrassing thing, even Comrade Liu thinks so. Because these people of the Kale tribe are really his own people, and his own people have not reached that height in terms of ideas, let alone those recruited from outside.
There are a lot of workers on the farms now, but in fact they are able to work up to 65% of their work to death.
He can indeed keep recruiting and eliminating, but the retention rate of employees is really too low. And new recruits have to be trained, adapted, and take more time.
While I was chatting with Nick, a couple of cars drove by. The reception work will be handed over to Wang Chao and Li Zhibo, are they serious technical guidance?
To put it bluntly, these people who came to visit really didn't need Lao Liu to entertain them. Lao Liu doesn't look like an outsider, now he really has a very high status here.
It's not just because he has a good relationship with Harvey, he belongs to the category of someone in the DPRK who is a good official. The real reason is that his current industrial scale and structure can affect many Kenyans.
This bumper grain harvest, even if many people just take it as news, some people will think about it carefully. Among these people who came over, not all of them were messing around.
Then there is the coffee berry purchase some time ago, and he has already signed one hundred and sixty-three small farmers. These people's coffee berries will be sold directly to Lao Liu in the future, and the real income is much higher than that of putting their coffee beans on the auction floor.
Even they know that these coffee beans will be sold more expensive in the future, and Lao Liu will make a lot of money on these coffee beans, and they are willing.
Now the cooperation with Lao Liu is to take care of these coffee trees normally. Don't worry about the side, Liu Wenrui is in charge of the fertilizer, and they don't have to worry about the processing of coffee berries. This is equivalent to saving them a lot of time, and they can also do some odd jobs in their spare time to supplement their families.
Moreover, the price of the coffee berries purchased by Lao Liu is not low, and it also saves them the cost of processing the coffee berries. This is at least 15% higher than the usual income.
The key point is that the coffee bean market has not been very good in the past two years. Regardless of whether they have a good harvest or not, the international coffee bean market continues to decline. As a smallholder farmer, how much can they do?
In fact, the entire industrial structure of Kenya is still dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, and agriculture occupies the main part. In the agricultural industry, coffee beans, tea, and flowers are the three pillar industries.
Liu Wenrui has already taken his first steps in the coffee bean industry and has helped many coffee farmers. Although his flower industry has not yet officially opened, the blue roses and colorful roses are also well-known.
These two have done so well, what about tea? Will it bring surprises to everyone? Will it also bring new revenue channels to everyone?
Many people have also heard that in the future, Liu Wenrui will also seek multi-faceted cooperation channels in flower planting, which makes many people pay more attention.
Because the cost of growing flowers is higher, more fertilizer needs to be used. If Liu Wenrui can also cooperate with those coffee farmers after the cooperation, providing fertilizer, will his income also increase a lot in the future?
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Wenrui has become the first person in agricultural planting in the hearts of many Kenyans.
And while he is doing business, he is a little different from those big foreign companies. I don't eat all the profits, but I will share some of them, which makes many people feel very satisfied.
In addition, the things that Lao Liu has done since he came to Kenya can cause a lot of movement every time, which also makes his status rise.
Although he only mingled in this land, he is now a well-known figure throughout Kenya.
Lao Liu glanced at Nick, and then ignored him, and went to his daughter to play. Even if the little guy is a little naughty sometimes, it's very worry-free. You don't have to worry about him at all, you just need to prepare the delicious meal, and you don't have to worry about the fun.
When Lao Liu found the little one, the little one was taking his friends to have a fruit party here in the coffee garden. Anyway, for her, fruit is also a staple food every day.
Lao Liu, who came over, grew his mouth, and then waited for Xiao Miaomiao to feed him. The little guy shook his head helplessly, this dad is too worrying. No matter how old you are, you have to be taken care of. However, he still broke a banana for Lao Liu and put it in his mouth.
As soon as Lao Liu finished eating, Xiao Miaomiao climbed onto him with his hands and feet. Then Lao Liu began to have fun, running around in the coffee garden with the little guy on his back.
"Let's take Miao Miao home. Wang Shasha, who came over to find Lao Liu to cook at home, looked a little helpless, how old she is, she is still crazy all day long.
"Miao Miao, let's run over. How about running with Mao Mao and Big Snoring?" Lao Liu asked Xiao Miaomiao.
The little guy came to the head of the spirit, "Run." ”
As the little guy's words fell, it was not Lao Liu or the lions who ran out first, but Brother Pingtou. The goods started very quickly, ran very fast, and ran out of the way with a "whoosh".
I was so surprised that Lao Liu was so powerful?
It seems that I haven't paid attention to Brother Pingtou for a long time, I only know that it eats stupidly fat, but I didn't expect that the kung fu on its body has not been left behind.
