Zhang Daqing: it is not the usual way to grow oil peony to get rich

Recently, the reporter went to Renjiata Village, a town in Lishi District, and drove on the path into the village. looking at it, there were all the fields of oil peonies that had just been planted or were being planted, although they were not yet the most vibrant, compared with the large areas of abandonment in the past, but implied vigorous vitality.

Zhang Daqing is a famous rich expert in the whole town. When Zhang Daqing visited Shandong with his friends in 2012, he found a lot of business opportunities. Where there is thought, there is action, in order to learn more about oil peony planting. Zhang Daqing visited Lu'an Group many times, learned more about the cultivation and planting knowledge of oil peony, and brought back relevant reports and data on the development of oil peony industry. The Fei Chuang Oil Peony Cooperative was established in 2014. The cooperative absorbed 83 households in the village, and all the poor people were members. Zhang Daqing divided the whole project into two phases, the first phase developed 300 mu of oil peony, and the second phase developed 500 mu of oil peony. Up to now, the planting of 800 mu of oil peony has been completed.

When asked how Zhang Daqing chose to grow oil peony, he said: "it was worth trying at that time. Oil peony is a new type of oil crop. The yield per mu of high-quality seedlings can reach 600-800 kg, which is much higher than that of domestic soybeans, peanuts and other oil crops. The oil production rate is as high as 22%, much higher than that of domestic soybeans." Peony oil has a high content of linolenic acid, which has a significant effect on the brain development of infants and children and the brain health care of the elderly. at the same time, it is also of great benefit to the treatment of hyperlipidemia. This crop has a high yield period of 30 years and is a "iron crop" for farmers once and for all. As a new type of oil crop, compared with the traditional oil crop, the market prospect of oil peony is unlimited. Lu'an Group is also willing to provide necessary technical support to our cooperatives. Then, through raising money from all sides, I invested 1.6 million yuan myself, using poverty alleviation funds, coupled with social financing, and the cooperative was responsible for the transfer of part of the land and the development of some barren mountains and slopes. In the past two years, we have completed 810mu of machine repair, terrace leveling, land preparation and planting, and comprehensive management and protection in the later stage. "

Where do poor households get the money to be shareholders? After scientific decision-making with the village committee and the poor households, the poor households who joined the shares transferred their land to the leader of the cooperative, and after three years of income, they could directly receive their own shares. Zhang Daqing calculated the oil peony income account for the investors: "the total investment of our project is 3.96 million yuan, with our cooperative as the main body. The poor households in the whole village occupy an area of 165mu, and each person accounts for 0.8mu, accounting for 20.6% of the shares. The project has been completed this year. Through comprehensive management and protection of seedlings for three years, the yield per mu can reach at least 100kg, with a total yield of 81000 kg and an income of 810000 yuan. Poor households have an annual income of 800 yuan per 0.8 mu of population, so that poor households do not pay a penny and become shareholders. At the same time, cooperatives give priority to organizing poor members who have the ability to work, and poor families can also work in the cooperative on their doorstep to earn money. this is definitely not a small income for a rural left-behind family.

When talking about the 20 mu ornamental peony planted in Baima Xiandong, Zhang Daqing outlined a long-term goal of his own cooperative for the reporter: "next, I will build an one-stop industrial economic base with" planting, breeding, tourism, catering services, acquisition and processing, sales profits, and technical guidance. "the combination of oil peony planting and ornamental peony planting will not cause pollution. It can also be combined with the tourism resources of our Wucheng town to create a leisure vacation space integrating viewing, experience and catering. According to the current development prospect, we plan to popularize the planting of oil peony on the original basis, so that more farmers can enjoy the economic benefits brought by planting oil peony.
