Although Luzon has summertime all year round, the temperature in February is still slightly cooler, making it relatively comfortable.

South Lima in southern Luzon.

In the headquarters building of Haitian Agriculture, Zhang Wei looked at the schedules of various projects, rubbed his temples, picked up the thermos cup on the side, and took a sip of oolong tea.

This year's work to build 600,000 acres of sea fields, as well as projects such as insect breeding plants, mushroom plantations, and feed processing plants, all made him feel a lot of pressure.

Recently, the head office has issued another order for Haitian Agriculture to set up an agricultural association.

He had read the planning book of the agricultural association and knew that this was a very large project, and the overall planning seemed to refer to the agricultural association in Dongying, but there were some differences.

According to the first phase of the plan, the goal of the first phase is to establish 80 distinctive agricultural cooperatives this year, involving about 80,000 rural households.

He picked up the phone: "Man Ling." ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, please command." Assistant Manling replied.

"Inform the heads of the departments to meet at half past two in the afternoon in the conference room on the fifth floor to discuss matters related to the agricultural association, and let them all come up with a proposal according to their own department."

"Okay."

Half past two in the afternoon.

In the conference room, more than a dozen department heads gathered.

After Zhang Wei arrived, he didn't say any nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Let's talk about how to promote the agricultural association, the head office has high hopes for us, don't drop the chain at a critical time." ”

The person in charge of the Haitian Division directly spread his hands: "Mr. Zhang, I still have a project to promote 600,000 mu of Haitian, and I don't have the energy to participate in the agricultural cooperative." ”

And the insect breeding division and the mushroom planting division also look powerless.

Zhang Wei also understands them, but he still reminded: "The Haitian Division has no time to understand, but the Insect Breeding Division and the Mushroom Cultivation Division still have to contribute." ”

"Huh? Let's promote insect farming and mushroom cultivation to farmers? The person in charge of the mushroom cultivation division asked hesitantly.

Zhang Wei asked: "How many varieties of mushroom cultivation technology does the Mushroom Division have mastered now?" ”

"At present, there are six varieties of straw mushroom, shiitake mushroom, side ear, fungus, bisporus mushroom, and enoki mushroom, which are all common varieties on the market."

Zhang Wei wrote down the names of these mushroom varieties in his notebook, and wrote the number 12 on the back: "The mushroom division is responsible for the technical support of the 12 cooperatives, and if you supply the strains to these cooperatives, the company will provide them with financial support and sales channels." ”

"12 cooperatives?" The person in charge of the mushroom division frowned: "We have to build large-scale planting factories ourselves, and the cost advantage of these small factories is not high!" ”

Zhang Wei waved his hand: "Don't worry, the company will not do loss-making business, these mushrooms will be eaten by the Harvest House, as long as they are obedient, we can make them the designated suppliers of the Harvest House, even if it is the initial subsidy farmers, we must stick to it." ”

In fact, Haitian agriculture is based on scale and monopoly of the market.

Other small farmers and small families, even if they do it themselves, have no way to compete with Haitian Agriculture.

As long as the market monopoly is completed, others can only withdraw from the market at that time.

In terms of insect breeding, Zhang Wei also asked the insect breeding division to provide technical support and seedlings, and designated six varieties of locusts, crickets, mealworms, silkworms, scorpions, and earthworms, which are also 12 cooperatives.

The remaining share of cooperatives is made up of fruits, vegetables, and aquatic products.

All the things produced by these cooperatives are purchased by Haitian Agriculture, processed and supplied to the Fertility Family, or Haitian Agriculture itself for internal digestion.

……

Limanan and the vicinity of the port of Dart were the first to be affected.

A small mountain town called Snake Mountain Town is talking about the recent expansion of cooperatives here.

As a big landlord in the town, Lord Barcelona was obviously a little resistant and hostile to the arrival of the cooperative at this time.

A young man with yellow teeth asked, "Uncle, are we going to cooperate with Haitian Agriculture?" ”

"Cooperate with what? Is Lao Tzu short of those millions? Tell everyone in the family that they are not allowed to cooperate with Haitian Agriculture. "Lord Barcelona spat on the stars.

His family is a local overlord, and he has a relationship in Manila, Barcelona itself owns more than 3,000 acres of mountainous land, planted rambutan and lotus mist, and can enter the Manila market through its own channels, so it naturally does not look down on field agriculture.

It's just that the farmers in the town, not only the Barcelona family, although their family occupies about 33% of the land in Snake Mountain Town, other farmers are also related to the Barcelona family.

The problem is that there is a difference between intimacy and alienation, among which there are people who have a good relationship, and naturally there are people who have a general relationship, or even a bad relationship.

As a large landowner, the Barcelona family has a lot of land, but the population is not too large, accounting for only about 3% of the entire town's population.

Those farmers who only have a small plot of land, after hearing the cooperative's propaganda, although they did not show impatience, many people were actually moved, but they were waiting for the first person to eat crabs to appear.

In many cases, people tend to blindly follow the trend.

The project of the Snake Mountain Agricultural Cooperative is to grow fruits and vegetables, as well as rice.

Soon the first person to eat crabs appeared.

The farmer named Basil signed the first contract, and 1.3 acres of mango groves and 0.3 acres of paddy fields in the family's name were included in the cooperative.

To become a contracted farmer of the cooperative, it is necessary to grow the agricultural products designated by the cooperative, and the price of agricultural products is fixed and adjusted once a year.

Moreover, the cooperatives also provide insurance to ensure that farmers and cooperatives do not go bankrupt in the event of natural disasters and force majeure.

Seeing the price signed by Basil, the mango was about 18% higher than the price given by the previous Barcelona, and other small farmers were also impressed.

In the face of interests, farmers do not care, even a small number of farmers who have a good relationship with the Barcelona family, they ignore the ban of the Barcelona family.

The person in charge of the cooperative patted the large stack of contracts on his hand, sneered and mocked: "It seems that in the face of money, the words of the Barça master are not useful for a single peso." ”

"Head, are those guys going to do something?" The salesman asked with some concern.

The head of the cooperative had no fear on his face: "Hehe, don't forget who is behind us, if he doesn't want to be decent, then we will help him be decent." ”

As the person in charge said, the Barcelona family is just a small local family, and in the face of a behemoth like the Fernando family, they don't dare to play violent means at all.

Next, these small families will feel what malice is.

The Rich Family, which has a complete transportation logistics and food supply chain, quickly opened convenience supermarkets in various small towns, robbing the market that these small families had previously monopolized.

Contracted farmers can also get discounts similar to employee discounts, and the cooperatives have affordable pesticides, fertilizers, agricultural machinery, and professional technical support.

As a result, more farmers can't sit still, and more farmers want to join cooperatives.

Farmers who do not cooperate will have to face higher production costs, and they will have to solve their own sales channels and transportation channels, and they will have to buy insurance by themselves, which is simply a blood collapse.

Even the big landlords are a little unbearable at this time.
