How can rice growers make more money? Four big points to help you increase your income!

Rice is the most important kind of grain, with the longest fierce, and upland rice is different, mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Basin of China. As far as growers are concerned, how to grow rice to have better income and make money? Combined with the market situation, your four major suggestions and new ideas.

I. Variety selection

Rice varieties affect the price of grain, so it is suggested that farmers should select high-quality rice according to local conditions. First of all, let's take a look at whether the local accumulated temperate zone and climate are suitable for the cultivation of this variety. As the saying goes, "one side of water and soil raises another person", the yield and quality of the same rice variety will be different under different climatic conditions, so it is necessary to select rice varieties suitable for the local climate. In addition, with the improvement of the consumption level of the domestic people, the demand for high-quality rice in China will continue to rise in the future. Take this year's northern rice as an example, the price of high-quality rice is more than 20 cents per jin higher than ordinary rice, and the "high quality and good price" is obvious.

II. Field management

After selecting good rice varieties, it is necessary to strengthen field management to ensure the harvest. First, pay attention to weather and meteorological changes. For example, the rice producing areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China are vulnerable to high temperature and drought every year, and farmers can store water in advance to fight drought, increase fertilizer and strengthen seedlings, and reduce losses. Second, scientific management, more learning and exchanges with local seed and agricultural technology departments, such as the timing and frequency of the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so as to strengthen the ability of rice to resist diseases and increase production.

III. Scale and intensive planting

The income of retail investors in rice cultivation is low, and the ability to resist risks is poor, so farmers are advised to plant them on a large scale and intensively. In particular, large grain growers and rice growing cooperatives are more likely to form economies of scale, and agricultural insurance can be added to withstand the risk of decline in planting income caused by natural disasters, markets and other factors.

Of course, we can also see that, such as Wuchang rice in China, Yueguang rice in Japan, fragrant rice in Thailand, and so on, the future development of domestic rice needs closer cooperation and intercommunication between farmers and enterprises, enterprises and the market. work together to create rice brand effect and increase farmers' income.

Fourth, increase additional income

In recent years, the rise of order planting and rice-fishing co-cultivation have obvious help to increase farmers' income. Order planting is to plant higher quality rice according to the requirements of order enterprises, and its price is higher than the market price of ordinary rice. Rice-fishing co-culture is to establish ecological fields, increase the culture of fish, shrimp and crabs on the basis of rice cultivation, reduce the input of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and increase income at the same time. Taking rice and shrimp culture in southern China as an example, the average income per mu of rice alone in 2018 is about 400 yuan / mu, while the average net income of rice and crayfish co-culture fields can reach 1500-2000 yuan / mu.
