The Rich Sutra of the "post-70s" camel farmers in Jinchang

Recently, the reporter came to Jinlongquan milk camel farming farmers' professional cooperative located in Longjing Village, Ningyuanbao Town, Jinchuan District. In the crisp sound of camel bells, Wu Binde, a "post-70s" farmer, approached the fence with forage grass, and several camels immediately gathered together and affectionately put their heads close to their owners.

"Camels are raised because of my uncle's illness." Wu Binde said that after the operation, my uncle heard others say that camel milk had a high nutritional value, and he had the idea of raising camels. He began to collect information on the Internet and went to Fuhai County for an inspection.

In 2014, he and Wang Desheng of the same village jointly initiated the establishment of a professional cooperative for dairy camel farmers in Jinlongquan, which led other farmers to participate and began large-scale farming. Today, the cooperative has more than 500 peaks of Bactrian camels, of which 40 can breed female camels, and a camel milk production and processing line was built at the beginning of this year with an investment of 1.2 million yuan.

"at present, our output of camel milk is still very low." Wu Binde introduced his development plan to the reporter: "We are going to develop a camel garden sightseeing and picking agricultural tour. Tourists can pick fresh fruit, eat farm rice, ride camels in our camel 'kingdom', and at the same time gradually cultivate the consumer market for camel milk, produce and process camel meat, and develop camel milk beverages."

It is understood that camel milk is known as "desert platinum", which is rich in high protein, low sugar and low fat, and its nutritional value is higher than that of milk. Insulin and other effective drug ingredients can be extracted from camel milk, meat and bone, which has significant medical effects on diseases such as tuberculosis, diabetes, cancer and AIDS.

Camel breeding is one of the key industries supported by Ningyuanbao Town in recent years to promote the transformation and upgrading of agricultural industry. it is a new agricultural and animal husbandry industry with local characteristics. Ningyuanbao Town combines the promotion of the construction of the "Ten districts" with the development of industries and the expansion of the collective economy, through measures such as increasing investment, introducing support policies, speeding up base construction, developing a series of products, and improving scientific and technological support, improve the standardization, scale and industrialization of camel farming, promote the development of camel industry, enhance the enthusiasm of camel farmers, and broaden new channels for farmers to get rich. At present, camel milk farmers in the town are mainly concentrated in Longjing Village.

Liu Guoshuang, director of the village committee, told reporters: "in order to make the camel breeding industry develop rapidly, we organize people to study in Fuhai County, Altay, and actively strive for relevant policy support." Now Murakami has set up a camel breeding base through the way of "base + professional cooperatives + farmers" and started camel milk production. According to the preliminary budget, the annual net income of raising a hump milk camel is about 6000 yuan.

Wu Binde said: "in fact, starting a business is not that difficult, many people lose in persistence."

If you keep your dreams and don't give up, "post-70s" camel breeders will eventually get something in return.
