The Green Industry chain of "one Pig"

Stocking in the mountains and forests, eating grass and wild vegetables, drinking mountain spring water. A few days ago, the reporter saw these extraordinary Lianzhou Xiang pigs at the breeding base of Datang Village Committee of Datang Village, Dalubian Town.

"Lianzhou Xiang pigs are wild, come and go freely, and breed themselves in the mountains and forests. Once a sow suddenly brought back a group of piglets, each of which had grown to more than ten kilograms. " Talking about these "treasures", Deng Gonghua, head of the professional cooperatives of cattle farmers in Lianzhou City, revealed such an interesting story.

The reputation of the diners is even more evidence. "sure enough, the pork is not greasy at all, it is very refreshing, and it smells like pork." In the village of Lianzhou Senpin Nongjiale, many Pearl River Delta diners came to taste Lianzhou pig.

Xiang pig has been cultivated in China for thousands of years, and it is a precious local breed in China's pork industry. as a meat food, Xiang pig has the characteristics of high protein, low fat, comprehensive nutrition, tender meat and so on. and rich in essential amino acids and trace elements.

It is worth noting that the breeding method of Lianzhou Xiang pig is different from that of traditional Xiang pig. Living in the mountains, eating weeds and vegetables, drinking mountain spring water. The unique way of breeding makes the meat more tender and sweeter than ordinary pork. At the beginning of this year, Lianzhou Xiang Pig was approved as a pollution-free agricultural product by the Agricultural products quality and Safety Center of the Ministry of Agriculture. Lianzhou Xiang Pig has entered a number of Pearl River Delta supermarkets.

Because of its green and healthy quality, Lianzhou Xiang Pig is favored by consumers and promotes the development of local rural tourism. At present, through the establishment of cooperatives, Lianzhou Xiang pig farmers have broken the shackles of technology and information in rural development, promoted the sales of Lianzhou Xiang pigs and even more agricultural products, and led the villagers to increase their income and become rich.

Grew up eating wild vegetables and drinking mountain springs.

Adopt the mode of pure natural stocking, let Xiang pigs forage and breed in the mountains, drink clear spring water, and eat natural grass, leaves, wild vegetables and so on.

Under the enthusiastic leadership of Deng Gonghua, the person in charge of the professional cooperative of cattle farmers in Lianzhou City, the reporter came to the Lianzhou Xiang Pig breeding Base in Datang Village, Datang Village, Dalubian Town, Lianzhou City. The base consists of more than 2000 mu of mountain forests and two "rest stations". Deng Gonghua told reporters that this mountain forest is the scope of activities of Lianzhou Xiang pigs and is their "home."

"We adopt a purely natural stocking model to allow Xiang pigs to forage and breed in the mountains, drink clear spring water, and eat natural grass, leaves, wild vegetables, and so on. The two rest stations built are places for them to stay away from summer and cold in winter, and they can come and go freely. " Deng Gonghua told reporters.

The reporter saw that these little Xiang pigs are generally not big, the coat color is black and white flowers, the action is very agile, come and go freely in the mountains and forests. It turns out that Lianzhou Xiang Pig is a hybrid of local plum blossom pig, Xiang pig and wild boar, taking the essence of three pig breeds, so it has the characteristics of roughage tolerance, strong adaptability and easy management. and fundamentally overcome the shortcomings of Xiang pigs, such as fat and greasy, thick skin, low lean meat rate and slow growth, higher nutritional value and better meat flavor.

Ding, ding, ding, ding... At about 10:00 in the morning, a keeper rang the bell. Hearing the bell, three or five little pigs walked slowly to the rest station. Deng Gonghua said: "sometimes there is not much food in the mountains, especially in winter, we will provide them with special food to eat. It is once a day in summer and twice a day in winter. " These special foods are mainly made from corn, rice, wheat bran, bean cypress and other farm grains, with a certain proportion of forage grass to ensure the healthy growth of Xiang pigs. "We also grow our own grass without pesticides." A pig has an acre of living space.

Lianzhou Xiang pigs are wild, come and go freely, and breed themselves in the mountains and forests. Once a sow suddenly brought back a group of piglets, each of which had grown to more than ten kilograms.

Deng Gonghua recalled the hardship of raising wild boars, saying that 40 pigs were bred at first, but only eight survived because they did not adapt to the growing environment of mountains and streams. Finally, after continuous breeding and exploration, now the breed of Lianzhou Xiang pig has been very stable.

Although after years of breeding, Lianzhou Xiang pig breeding number and the number of the column is not large. According to him, Lianzhou Xiang Pig is wild and likes to run freely in the mountains and grasslands, so it requires a lot of space for activities. Today, in more than 2000 mu of mountain forest, there are more than 2000 Lianzhou Xiang pigs. "A pig must have at least one mu of land."

At the same time, due to the natural growth law of pigs, even the breeding cycle of Zhou Xiang pigs is much longer than that of ordinary pigs. Deng Gonghua said that ordinary domestic pigs can grow to 100 kilograms in four months, while Lianzhou Xiang pigs need one to one and a half years to reach about 50 kilograms. Because of the unique breeding method of Lianzhou Xiang Pig, its number is also difficult to make accurate statistics. "they breed themselves in the mountains and forests. Once, a sow suddenly brought back a group of piglets, each of which has grown to more than ten kilograms. We were surprised and dumbfounded. " Deng Gonghua said.

The natural stocking model can not only enhance the physical quality of Xiang pigs, but also improve the disease resistance of Xiang pigs, but also reduce the cost of pig breeding.

Good mountains and good water have created Lianzhou Xiang Pig with fresh, tender and smooth meat, strong meat flavor, good taste and high nutritional value. At the beginning of this year, Lianzhou Xiang Pig was approved as a pollution-free agricultural product by the Agricultural products quality and Safety Center of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Order from several supermarkets in the Pearl River Delta

The cooperative has agreed with a number of supermarkets in the Pearl River Delta as a supplier of green pollution-free agricultural products to provide strong protection for members' sales of agricultural and sideline products.

Green, ecological, healthy and delicious Lianzhou Xiang Pig coincides with the consumption concept of the people nowadays, and is favored by consumers, and the price has been rising steadily. At present, the bidding price of Lianzhou Xiang pig is 27 yuan / jin.

Under the traditional production mode of household contract responsibility, the quality of agricultural and sideline products produced by villagers in the past is mixed, and the sales price fluctuates greatly. "A few years ago, the purchase price of pork was too low, the prices of other agricultural products fluctuated greatly, and we lacked information and technology, so we lost everything from time to time." A Datang villager told the reporter.

How to turn the quality advantage of Lianzhou Xiang Pig into brand advantage, and finally into economic advantage, so that the market is satisfied, promote the development of Xiang Pig industry, and thus drive the villagers to increase their income and become rich? It is a good way to set up professional cooperatives and integrate the strength of villagers.

In 2008, under the leadership of Deng Gonghua, the professional cooperative of cattle farmers in Lianzhou was officially established. At present, there are more than 100 members, covering five natural villages around the Datang Village Committee, mainly raising cattle, pigs, sheep and growing taro. "everyone was very supportive and the co-operative was set up in a very short time." Deng Gonghua said with deep feeling.

In order to solve farmers' difficulties such as lack of technology, information, and channels, the cooperative, according to the actual situation, employs experts and technical personnel in the planting and breeding industry to teach and practice for its members; uniformly purchase excellent seedlings and put an end to vicious price depression. the implementation of brand packaging sales, and so on.

The implementation of various measures greatly improves the farmers' resistance to the risks of the industry and ensures the feasibility of sustainable development. At present, by integrating resources and sharing information, the cooperative has reached an agreement with a number of supermarkets in the Pearl River Delta as a supplier of green pollution-free agricultural products for supermarkets, providing a strong guarantee for the production and sale of agricultural and sideline products for members.

There are data to prove it: in 2008, the annual per capita disposable income of members of the cooperative was more than 3000 yuan; by 2015, the annual per capita disposable fund of members reached more than 15000 yuan.

The villagers started to have fun at the farm.

The first is to cook dishes by Nongjiale, collecting fees for ingredients and processing fees; the second is to provide cooking stoves for consumers, and consumers make their own dishes to add interest.

Through the establishment of cooperatives, the production mode of fighting alone has been changed, and the income of the villagers in Datang Village and its surrounding villages has been increasing. The recently established forest products farm music in Lianzhou City has become another good way to promote the sales of agricultural and sideline products.

"in the past, due to the lack of cold storage, we all used the method of selling whole pigs, so we missed out on a lot of consumers who didn't want to buy whole pigs. With Nongjiale, we can retail pork and other agricultural products. " Deng Gonghua said. At present, the farm music mainly sells Lianzhou fragrant pork, beef, mutton and other agricultural products. The most unique thing is that the Nongjiale provides two ways of tasting special agricultural products: one is that Nongjiale cooks dishes, charging fees for ingredients and processing fees; the other is that Nongjiale provides cooking stoves for consumers, and consumers make their own dishes. Nongjiale only charges for ingredients.

In this way, consumers can choose their own ingredients and cook dishes according to their own tastes, so as to have a more intuitive and comprehensive experience of the agricultural products of the cooperative. Deng Junbao, the person in charge of the farm music, said: "this is not only a place for consumers to eat and stay, but also a small supermarket for the Lianzhou Gonghua cattle raising Professional Cooperative to display agricultural special products."

In this regard, Ouyang Junjie, mayor of Dalubian Town, said that he hopes that Sen Pin Nongjiale will comprehensively raise the level of "Nongjiale", start the brand of "Nongjiale", ensure food quality, provide good services, and dig deep into human, ecological, and folk customs and other resources. based on the local nature of farmers, rural areas, and folk culture, carefully design leisure and entertainment projects to enhance the taste of "farm music."

Deng Junbao told reporters that the next step will be to combine Nongjiale, Lianzhou Xiang Pig breeding Base, and local natural scenery to create a leisure and sightseeing agriculture that integrates green base, pastoral scenery, and leisure and entertainment, so as to further attract consumers and drive local villagers to increase their income and become rich.

Form a green industrial chain of fragrant pigs

Get through the upstream and downstream of production and processing

The unique ecological breeding of Lianzhou Xiang Pig has created the brand and reputation.

"some supermarkets in the Pearl River Delta have proposed to sell Lianzhou Xiang pigs on a fixed basis, so that we can continue to supply them. We are trying to expand the scale of farming in this direction. " To this end, Deng Gonghua said that the most important thing is to create their own cold chain logistics.

Due to the lack of cold chain logistics technology, the sales of Lianzhou Xiang pigs are greatly limited, resulting in the scale of breeding can not be expanded. "it is impossible to transport pork freshly to the Pearl River Delta or even to all parts of the country without cold storage technology." Introduced by Deng Gonghua.

In the next step, the Lianzhou Gonghua cattle raising Professional Cooperative will be dominated by high value-added products such as "Lianzhou Xiang Pig" and change to a "vertical integration" management model. from fragrant pig breed cultivation to feed production, green breeding, segmented processing, deep processing and market sales, covering all links of the upstream and downstream production and processing of fragrant pork products, forming a green industrial chain of ecological fragrant pigs and giving full play to scale effect. Improve comprehensive competitiveness and profitability.

It is worth noting that the development of the cooperative has raised the economic income of the masses, made their lives better and better, and greatly changed the consciousness of the masses. Take environmental hygiene habits as an example, under the environment of government departments vigorously promoting rural environmental renovation, the previous phenomenon of littering almost disappeared.

"Today, members know that it is necessary to change the production mode of fighting alone in the past, they know that they can only do great things by twisting together, and they are even more in favor of land integration and the integration of agriculture-related funds." Deng Gonghua told reporters.

"one of the priorities of the work of Dalubian Town will be transferred to the construction of beautiful villages, the development of characteristic tourism industry, and the further omni-directional, vigorous, and multi-level work of attracting investment in agricultural projects." Ouyang Junjie expressed the hope that the cadres and masses of the whole town will take this opportunity to further emancipate their minds, change their ideas, create an environment for development, and create a good atmosphere for building roadside brands. Integrate the resources of Nongjiale, leisure fishing, Guhua Temple, ancient villages, Qin-Han Ancient Road, Phoenix Ancient Cave, 100,000 mu of Camellia oleifera, China Resources windmill, mountain pond cuisine and other resources, encourage people from all walks of life to invest and develop, expand and strengthen rural leisure tourism and cultural and historic tourism, and create more business opportunities and development potential for Dalubian Town.
