In recent years, Liuzhi Special Zone has encouraged returning migrant workers to start their own businesses, providing more jobs for the local rural surplus labor force, and promoting the development of rural economy. Under this background, Li Yu and Chen Taihong, who returned to their hometown to start a business, sprouted the idea of developing the economy under the forest, planting imitation wild edible fungi under the forest in 1.2 million mu of forest, and concurrently engaged in the enterprise development idea of traditional Chinese medicine under the forest, so as to promote the construction of ecological civilization in rural areas. we will actively develop the economy under the forest.

There is a big way for cooperatives to grow edible fungi.

A few days ago, the reporter saw in the planting base of Honglin Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Guizhou Province, Langdai Town, Liuzhi Special Zone, that one after another Bailing bacteria were hidden in the woods, and the staff were picking gratifying bacteria.

"We have picked it several times, and it has been only 40 days since the strain was planted and picked. At present, it has been all acquired by the company, and it has directly generated more than 7000 yuan in economic benefits." Huang Zhishu, Xinchun Village, Yuelianghe, Langdai Town, smiled and introduced to the reporter the harvest of growing edible fungi in their cooperative.

Watching the villagers busy picking edible fungi, the person in charge of the township standing by while reminding the villagers of the picking methods while introducing the development of the economy under the forest. The person in charge said that at first, the cultivation of edible fungi was a new thing in the eyes of the villagers, and many people were watching. Although only 10 mu of edible fungi were planted in Xinchun Village, the benefits were seen in a short period of time. The 10 mu of land planted in Xinchun Village is led by the way of cooperatives, driving six precision poverty alleviation objects to carry out edible fungus cultivation together.

"to develop the cultivation of edible fungi, we must first of all take the lead in doing it, and we also need people with certain abilities to take the lead in doing it. Only in this way can we bring more villagers to participate and become rich together." Speaking of future development, the person in charge of the township is full of confidence.

"the luxuriant branches and leaves of the woods can cover the sun, block the wind and conserve water to meet the growth needs of edible fungi." The company technician said that the remaining sticks of edible fungi after harvest are organic fertilizers needed for forest growth, and the two can complement each other, and planting under the forest has formed a circular economy. "ordinary trees take eight to nine years to grow into wood. The growth rate of trees that develop the economy under the forest will increase by about 15%, and they can grow up one to two years ahead of time." The technician said.

The reporter learned from the Forestry Bureau of Liuzhi Special Zone that with the rapid growth of the total amount of forest resources, in order to make full use of land resources and space environment under the forest, develop various functions of forestry, and increase farmers' income, we will vigorously promote the market-oriented operation mode of "enterprises + professional cooperatives + farmers" and develop various development modes such as edible fungi and pheasants.

Reduce the planting risk and build a good economic brand under the forest

Under this background, Li Yu and Chen Taihong, who returned to their hometown to start a business, sprouted the idea of developing the under-forest economy, which was strongly supported by the Forestry Bureau of Liuzhi Special Economic Zone and invested 2 million yuan to establish Guizhou Honglin Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. it is one of the experimental and demonstration sites for the reform of "under-forest economy" in Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province.

The company is a professional R & D and test company integrating planting technology research, improved variety breeding, planting extension and brand agriculture into a city-level key agricultural marketization forest imitating wild edible fungus. The company has 25 employees, 1 edible fungus engineer and 6 technical promotion technicians, mainly engaged in the cultivation, sales and R & D, planting and promotion of new varieties of wild edible fungi under the forest. During the pilot period, the company has established a technical cooperation relationship with Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Guizhou University and other units, and is committed to building a green brand under the forest economy.

In terms of industrial development, combined with the situation of local forest resources, the company mainly focuses on the cultivation and sale of imitating wild edible fungi under the forest and the research, development, planting and promotion of new varieties. Leasing more than 5000 mu of woodland of Huade River Forest Farm in Liuzhi Special Zone as the company's production base, a variety of edible fungi have been planted successfully. The relevant experts confirmed on the spot that the local soil quality and climate are very suitable for imitating wild edible fungi and can be produced in large quantities. The varieties tested are mainly Beifeng, Pleurotus ostreatus, Grifola frondosa, Flammulina velutipes, Pleurotus ostreatus and Dictyophora. The amount of mushroom produced is 1.2-1.5 times that of the greenhouse, and the taste is very good, not easy to change color, and the shelf life and shelf life are much longer than those cultivated in the greenhouse.

At present, the company has built a 160square meter reception and management house, a 300square meter factory house, an 800square meter fungus production field and an 80square meter aseptic laboratory, and introduced a set of equipment related to edible fungus. The hardened site area is close to 2000 square meters, and will be based on government-led, company + farmers ", company + e-commerce, product brand promotion and supermarkets, direct sales, etc. Drive the surrounding farmers to become rich.

"We will provide members with bacterial sticks, provide unified technical services, and finally purchase edible fungi." Chen Taihong said that for farmers, it reduces the planting risk and has no worries at all.

While ensuring steady growth and orderly development, the company actively led the surrounding farmers to shake off poverty and become well-off. The company constructed the framework of "company + farmers" and adopted an one-stop mode of supply and market. that is: first, during the company experiment and large-scale planting of edible fungi, absorb surrounding farmers to the company to participate in planting production and sales, so that they fully grasp the production, supply and marketing process of imitating wild edible fungi. Lay a solid foundation for the company to drive the development of farmers. Second, the company provides farmers with strains and sticks, and uniformly recycles edible fungi (issuing strains and sticks to poor households, deducting the production cost of strains and sticks when recovering finished products); third, setting protection prices to ensure that farmers increase their monthly income by more than 5000 yuan.

Why choose the clearing under the forest? Chen Taihong broke his finger and told the reporter several benefits: edible fungi have certain requirements for temperature, humidity and stability, while the luxuriant branches and leaves of forests can play the role of shading, wind protection, water conservation and other functions to meet the growth needs of edible fungi. The growth of trees needs carbon dioxide and the growth of fungi needs oxygen, and the two can complement each other. the remaining waste after harvesting edible fungi is fertilizer for forest growth, and planting under the forest forms a circular economy; the use of open space under the forest saves valuable cultivated land resources.

At present, more than 30 poor farmers are working in this company to learn technology. after poor farmers have fully mastered the technology of planting and management of edible fungi, the company will distribute 5000-10000 sticks to plant and recycle the finished products according to their actual labor force.

"use the organic combination of science and technology and natural resources, make full use of Internet resources, establish the concept of ecological health, take the brand agricultural route, strictly control the quality, and achieve from the field to the dining table. so that consumers can eat the safest, most ecological and greenest products." In the future, in the face of increasingly rich forestry resources, the company has become rich through the development of "under-forest economy", which has opened up a good "money road" for forest farmers to develop under-forest economy.
