Ningxia Zhongwei: small edamame beans become farmers to increase the income of "Golden Doudou"

Over the past few days, there has been a busy scene in each edamame planting base of the Tianrui Hongqiao Cooperative of Ningxia Tianrui Industrial Group, and the joy of a bumper harvest has filled the faces of farmers with smiles. This year, Tianrui Hongqiao Cooperative signed a total of 3500 mu of edamame bean planting agreement with surrounding farmers. Judging from this year's output, an average of 850kg of hairy bean pods can be harvested per mu, with an output value of 2500 yuan per mu. Because of Tianrui's "guarantee", this small edamame bean has now become a "golden bean" for farmers to increase their income and become rich.

In the large field of edamame beans in Fengzhuang Village, Ruoyuan Town, Shapotou District, growers Ren Tianqiang and Huang Cunyin looked at the harvest of edamame beans, smiling. Ren Tianqiang told reporters that the 180 mu of edamame beans were planted by him and Huang Cunyin in cooperation to transfer farmers' land. Last year, they cooperated to plant 180 mu of corn, which not only made no money, but also lost a lot of money. I heard that growing edamame beans in cooperation with Tianrui Company was good, so they took the attitude of trying and planted all the land with edamame beans this year.

"according to the planting situation this year, the benefit is still very good, because the cost is low, and the economic benefit is much better than corn." Ren Tianqiang said that the technology of growing edamame beans comes from Tianrui Company, and all on-site guidance is free of charge.

It is understood that this year, the Tianrui Hongqiao Cooperative has established a "company + cooperative + peasant household" model. Farmers sign contracts before planting, and the company provides technology, seeds, and fertilizer. Even if the market price is 1 yuan per kilogram, the company will buy it at a price of 3 yuan per kilogram to ensure the income of growers.

Huang Xingli, director of the Tianrui Hongqiao Cooperative, told reporters: "since 2016, we have started to drive large growers and circulation households to plant raw materials for us in the form of orders. at the beginning of the year, the price was determined, and how to grow and manage in the planting process. In a series of processes, such as drug use, fertilization, irrigation, and so on, they are all guided by our technicians. Judging from the growth situation of edamame beans, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the income of growers is very high. "

"Last year, the price of corn was about 1.80 yuan per kilogram. According to 2 yuan per kilogram, there were 1000 kilograms of corn per mu, and farmers' income per mu was 2000 yuan, but the income per mu of growing edamame beans could reach 2500 yuan. Moreover, the planting cost of edamame beans is much lower than that of corn. After measuring the yield, we have reached 850kg per mu this year, and the unit price is 3 yuan per kilogram. In this way, the income per mu is more than 2500 yuan. After the edamame beans are harvested, we will be followed by replanting spinach, and the net income of 300 to 400 yuan per mu of field is much higher than that of corn. " Huang Xingli took corn as an example to calculate an account for the reporter.

While cooperatives and large growers have made profits, growing edamame beans has also brought huge benefits to villagers in several nearby villages. It is understood that at present, more than 200 farmers are picking at Ren Tianqiang's edamame bean base, most of them are women and middle-aged and elderly people who stay at home, and some children use summer work-study programs to lighten the financial burden on their families.
