Guizhou Bijie: a small egg with thousands of villagers

Every morning, in dozens of henhouses in Xinglian, Xinglian Village, Salaxi Town, Qixingguan District, Bijie, Guizhou, the sound of chickens is accompanied by sweet light music. Gu Huaizhu, a 50-year-old villager, is adding feed.

Gu Huaizhu earns 3000 yuan a month and is also a shareholder in the chicken farm. A year ago, life in her family was very difficult. Her husband was seriously ill and her two children were migrant workers. Zhang Yongjian, director of the chicken farm, advised her to join the chicken farm, helped her borrow 50,000 yuan to buy shares, and went to work in the chicken farm. At the end of the year, Gu Huaizhu received a dividend of 30,000 yuan from the chicken farm, plus salary, with an annual income of nearly 70,000 yuan. You can still have part of your income after paying off the loan.

In Xinglong Village, like Gu Huaizhu, there are many farmers who have lifted themselves out of poverty through loans to Xinglian chicken farm. At present, the farm has 24 enclosures, 780000 laying hens and nearly 700000 eggs a day. At the same time, laying hen breeding led to the effective extension of packaging services, vegetable cultivation, egg deep processing and other industrial chains, driving thousands of farmers to get rich. In 2015, the per capita net income of Xinglong Village reached 12000 yuan.

"at the beginning, it was not easy for the villagers to believe that raising laying hens could make money. Let your saliva go dry, and the villagers blinked suspiciously and looked at you noncommittal." Zhang Yongjian decided to find a breakthrough first. He recruited the nimble villagers in the village to work in the chicken farm and let them participate in the management of the whole process. Five or six daring households invested in loans and saw that they made money, and the number of shareholders increased significantly in the second year, with more than 220 shareholders last year.

The success of the chicken farm depends on the help of the local government. It is the Qixingguan district government that has made a match between the chicken farm and the supermarket in Luohu District of Shenzhen City, and has formed a long-term and fixed cooperative relationship with large enterprises. After passing the quality test, the eggs will be supplied directly to the supermarket. In addition, another part of the eggs in the chicken farm are supplied directly to the farmers' market. Due to the lack of intermediate links, the profit per egg is nearly 20 cents more than before.
