Li Zhongyi, the "King of Yi Family fungus", upgraded the cooperative and made the villagers rich.

The church apprentice starved to death, Master? Li Zhongyi, general manager of the Zhongyi walnut planting professional cooperative, does not think so. "the agricultural industry cannot be extended and strengthened without scale, and professional cooperatives are the bridge connecting large-scale industries." He said that in order to continue to get rid of poverty, he is willing to cultivate cooperatives and talents free of charge. Since the establishment of Luquan's first professional-scale cooperative in 2009, the "disciples" he has brought out have made cooperatives blossom everywhere, and the "company + peasant household + cooperative" agricultural industry poverty alleviation model has become the consensus of Luquan.

Wander around to find a way out of poverty

Li Zhongyi, 64, is a simple man of the Zhongpingyi family advised by Lu. "he is our master, and he is the one who instructed us to spread the camp, grow medicine, plant peaches and build a cooperative. He was our earliest guide to getting rich." Sayingpan Town Shuxi Village Committee Gan Haizi villagers group leader, Gan Haizi Village professional planting cooperative chairman Qian Shiquan said.

As early as the early 1980s, when the spring breeze of reform blew into the land of Luoyang, Li Zhongyi chose to go out to find a way out of poverty. At that time, Luquan had no main road. He took an old liberation van, circled the winding mountain road, and bumped for four or five hours. When he went to the county town to "learn from the classics", he was already covered in ash, and when he saw that the trade in wild fungi in Cross Street was hot, he talked to the merchants, waking up like a dream.

"We really don't know the treasure in the mountains." Li Zhongyi said that the rich wild bacteria resources in his hometown are the treasure of getting rich. So he returned to Zhongping and began to plan to start a fungus business. after borrowing 1000 yuan from the bank, he started his 10-year career of selling bacteria. Villages and towns, Luquan and Kunming became places where Li Zhongyi accumulated contacts, experience and funds.

Wild bacteria fragrance at home and abroad

"I want to start a company, which is the same reason that nowadays the industrialization of poverty alleviation and cap removal requires the construction of cooperatives." Li Zhongyi said that to expand the wild fungus industry, it is necessary to set up a company. In 1994, Li Zhongyi established Kunming Luquan Masno Green Biological Resources Development Co., Ltd., as the general manager, he took the lead in developing the wild fungus market in Yunnan.

In order to open the sales channel, Li Zhongyi set up the company in Chengdu and launched more than 80 varieties of wild edible fungi, such as matsutake, Morchella, delicious boletus and so on. And he combined the bacteria with the local hot pot to develop the "mountain rare fungus Wang Liang soup", fragrant to more than 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country. At this time, wild edible fungi in Yunnan are also exported to Italy, France, Switzerland, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries.

In 2001, Yunnan Edible Mushroom Industry Association was established, and he was elected vice president. In 2002, he took the lead in developing and popularizing the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus ostreatus in freezer in Yunnan, and achieved better economic benefits. Kunming Wild Fungi Market and located in Guandu District Wild Fungi Food Street, is also a brand established by him and members of the edible mushroom industry association.

Go back to your hometown and lead the village to be rich

In 2007, after 30 years of hard work, he returned to his hometown Zhongping to buy more than 1000 mu of barren mountains and march into the walnut industry. At the same time, farmers in the surrounding villages were driven to plant, and a walnut planting association was established. Take actions to fulfill your promise to go out in order to come back and lead us to get rich.

This year, Lu advised the Zhongyi walnut planting professional cooperative to mobilize the vast number of poor families who set up cards to join the cooperative and rent 3000 mu of barren mountains of the Houqing formation in Anton Kang Village, Zhongping Town, as a base to plant nearly 1500 mu of walnut, 128mu of Dianzhonglou, 287mu of Dianmuxiang, 218mu of Dipsacus and 380mu of Huangcaowu.

At present, the cooperative has developed 960 members, 916 peasant members, and 1240 non-member peasant households of the Antonkang Village Committee, the Shuduo Village Committee, the Zhongping Village Committee and the relevant village committees in the neighboring Sayingpan township, solving the employment of 129 people in the rural surplus labor force and directly driving 56 poor households to increase their average household income by 2576 yuan.

"Yi Family fungus King" explores Lin Zhuangyou

Since 2009, I do not know who called Li Zhongyi "the king of Yi family fungus", and the name has been well known in Luquan. "it makes sense. After all, I started out as a wild fungus." Li Zhongyi smiled and said.

"it can be said that the establishment, operation, and planting direction of our cooperative depends entirely on Master." Qian Shiquan said gratefully that in 2009, Li Zhongyi went to Lijiang to introduce snow peach seedlings and bought them for free to farmers for cultivation. He was one of them. Later, the snow peach cultivation association was established, with more than 50 members, and he was one of them.

"the Ganhaizi traditional Chinese medicine planting cooperative built by Qian Shiquan at the Saying Pun Shuxi Village Committee after graduation is not only a 'graduation project' submitted to Li Zhongyi, but also a demonstration project for the whole county to get rid of poverty." Zhao Zhongshan, director of the Luquan County Forestry Bureau, said that Li Zhongyi's free training of farmers to provide technical support and seedlings is tantamount to sending wealth directly to poor households. At the same time, he also contributed nearly 200000 yuan to build the network highway at the base and Gangbian to provide convenience for the surrounding farmers.

Today, Li Zhongyi's cooperative is "returning to its old business," but unlike in the past, what he is exploring this time is "Baoshan raising bacteria to experience leisure agriculture," combining the past models of production, supply and marketing, and interplanting under the forest with the concept of urban farm tourism. put forward the concept of leisure tourism in forest farms.
