Xiangxi swineherd returns to her hometown to start a business and leads the villagers to raise pigs to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Industrial poverty alleviation is a way of poverty alleviation taught by fishing, and it is the fundamental way and long-term plan to steadily shake off poverty and become rich. On March 8, 2017, the Xiangxi news delegation of "getting rid of Poverty and getting Rich in Hunan" walked into Xiangxi Prefecture to pay attention to how the local villagers can shake off poverty step by step and share their experiences in poverty alleviation through industry.

Make efforts in characteristic industries

Xiangxi "Mulan" leads fellow villagers to raise pigs and become rich.

On the morning of March 8, long Yingzu, a villager of Shibadong Village, Huayuan County, Xiangxi, was busy feeding more than 300 piglets. Among them, Xiangxi Black Pig, a characteristic breed of Xiangxi, is eating "breakfast" happily. "the sows should be fed sooner or later, and the piglets can eat freely." As soon as long Yingzu talked about the experience of raising pigs, the chatterbox could not stop.

Such rich experience in raising pigs stems from her working experience in Huanghua Town, Changsha. In 1997, she harvested late rice for a large pig farmer in Changsha and found that the family had a house, a car and a pig farm with more than 1000 pigs, and secretly encouraged herself to work hard. She volunteered to stay and work to feed pigs. after five years of study, she learned comprehensive breeding techniques such as medical treatment, medical treatment, castration, vaccination and so on.

Even so, she has not fundamentally improved her life. In 2002, she gave up her monthly salary of 3000 yuan and resigned to start her own business. With the passage of time, her technology became more and more sophisticated, and her business developed more and more. By the end of 2003, the income from piglet sales and breeding services reached 72000 yuan to shake off poverty and become rich.

At the door of the pig house, the word "Mulan" in the "Mulan suckling pig farm" in Huayuan County attracted the attention of reporters. When asked why she chose the name, she was happy and said with a smile that she hoped that women would strive for continuous self-improvement and bravely pursue the meaning of creation. That's what she thinks and what she does. As the director of women in the village, long Yingzu raised pigs on her own, but also did not forget to lead the villagers to work together.

Long Shiqing, a villager of Shibadong Village, raised nearly 50 pigs here in long Yingzu last year, and the benefit last year was also very good, selling it for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Including long Shiqing, long Yingzu also led 21 families and 81 people in the village to feed pigs and get rich together. Characteristic farming has become a magic weapon for Shibadong Village to get rid of poverty.

The development of characteristic industries has become an important part of deepening industrial poverty alleviation. In mid-February 2016, Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu said during a survey in Xiangxi that "Xiangxi has a good ecological environment and is rich in natural resources, so it is necessary to develop characteristic agricultural industries according to local conditions based on its advantages." Considering the actual situation of the state and many years' experience, Xiangxi has identified eight characteristic industries, such as citrus, tea, tobacco, kiwifruit, vegetables, Camellia oleifera, traditional Chinese medicine and characteristic breeding (black pig and yellow cattle), as state agricultural characteristic industries. to achieve differential competition and misplaced development.

Not only in western Hunan, the whole province of Hunan also focuses on developing characteristic industries to get rid of poverty. The provincial level has invested 500 million yuan in poverty alleviation funds and implemented 86 key industrial projects to directly help 200000 poor people develop production. The province added 9.35 billion yuan in poverty alleviation loans to help 230000 poor households develop their industries. A pilot project of photovoltaic poverty alleviation was carried out in 556 poor villages in 60 counties. Rural tourism has been carried out in 30 counties throughout the province to help the poor, absorbing 400 million yuan in various funds and benefiting more than 60,000 poor people.

Innovate ways to help the poor

The old farmer lives a happy life by relying on "orders".

In Shuanglong Village, Shuanglong Town, Huayuan County, western Hunan, Shi Jinyin is busy smoking bacon in his brand-new house. Since 2015, Huatian Industrial holding Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huatian Group") in the village to help, Shi Jinyin home-smoked bacon, growing vegetables have a stable market. In the year when Huatian Group was stationed in the village to help, his house was renovated and got rid of poverty at the same time.

"the price of agricultural products could not be sold before." Speaking of the melancholy look on his face before he was stationed in the village, Shi Jinyin said that his family had 2.5 mu of land, and although he had planted rice and corn and raised pigs, cattle and sheep, his annual income was only more than 2000 yuan. Our village is also remote from the outside, which is very bad for sales. "

In the "Industrial order of Shuanglong Village villagers" in May 2016, the reporter saw that Shi Jinyin planned to raise 3 cattle and 20 sheep, plant 1 mu of red cabbage (first half of the year), plant 1 mu of chili (second half of the year), and smoke 30 jin of bacon. Huatian Group will make acquisitions at a slightly higher price than the market in accordance with the quality Standards for the acquisition of Agricultural and sideline products.

Wang Heyou, leader of Huatian Group's poverty alleviation team in Shuanglong Village, told reporters that the villagers of Shuanglong Village provided agricultural and sideline products in accordance with the order requirements, which constituted the "order agriculture" of Shuanglong Village. Through the order sales model, Shi Jinyin's life has become more and more prosperous, and the per capita net income has increased from 1900 yuan in 2014 to 4500 yuan in 2016. Shi Jinyin also has a subsidy of 150 yuan for retired cadres every month, and life is becoming more and more prosperous.

"order" agriculture is an innovative way to help the poor. The more underdeveloped areas, the more need to implement innovation-driven development strategy.

Tian Kehu, director of the Xiangxi Prefecture Committee of Agriculture, said that Xiangxi Prefecture has made great efforts to carry out entrusted assistance on the basis of implementing policies for poor households due to poverty and giving a certain amount of funds to poor households with labor and lack of funds and skills. For a large number of poor households who do not have the ability to work or lack of labor force, entrust land and other factors of production to leading enterprises, professional cooperatives, family farms and other new agricultural operators to operate uniformly and share the income proportionally.

Hunan is also giving full play to the function of the modern industrial park, guiding poor farmers or entering the park to start a business, nearby employment and other ways to participate in the construction of the park and share the benefits of characteristic industries. On the other hand, new business entities such as leading enterprises, cooperatives, and family farms are encouraged to absorb the factors of production and project subsidy funds of poor households to help the poor by shares, and to take various forms, such as entrustment and shares, to help and drive poor households out of poverty.

Over the past three years, Hunan has created a series of replicable experiences, including the new industrial poverty alleviation path of "funds following the poor, poor people following the able people, capable people following the industrial projects, and industrial projects following the market." It has Hunan characteristics and highlights, and the effect is very obvious. From 2014 to 2016, a total of 229 poverty alleviation projects in key industries were implemented, with 1.75 billion yuan of financial funds invested, 5.62 billion yuan of other funds integrated, and 690 participating enterprises and cooperatives, helping 1.62 million poor people to increase their income.
