Shaoyuan Town, Henan Province: "Pig Lier" read the Classics of Live Ecological Culture

When it comes to Guo Tao, a villager from Huangbeijiao Village, Shaoyuan Town, many people know the story of his development of farming under the forest, and affectionately call him "pig". Recently, the reporter walked into Guo Tao's breeding base and saw him talking business with customers on the Internet through his mobile phone. On the hillside behind him, chubby pigs or leisurely foraging, or chasing and playing.

Guo Tao, 36, has always wanted to do something since he graduated from high school. By chance, he saw a piece of information about raising pigs under the forest, so he pondered it over and decided to give it a try. He inspected the market, chose venues, bought piglets, and embarked on the road of breeding.

With the maturity of breeding technology, the scale of Guo Tao's farm continues to expand, from the initial 20 pigs to more than 400 pigs. However, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, how to sell good pigs has become a difficult problem. Watching the piglet grow up day by day, Guo Tao turned around anxiously.

"other people can set up shop and sell goods online, why can't I sell pigs online?" With this idea in mind, Guo Tao sold pigs through traditional channels, took pictures of pigs, uploaded them to the Internet, and began to yell online.

The "pig photo" with excellent breeds and excellent appearance attracted the attention of many merchants, and soon someone asked about the price on the Internet. A boss in Shanxi came to inspect and bought three pigs at once. Not long after he went back, he came here to buy 10 more pigs. Now, the boss is a regular client of Guo Tao.

"Pigs raised under the forest take about 10 months to sell. The purchase price of pigs is 12 yuan per catty. Excluding the cost, it is not a problem for each pig to make a profit of more than 1000 yuan. " Guo Tao said that his pigs have been sold to Shanxi and other places through the Internet, with an annual income of 100000 yuan.

Talking about the benefits of online sales, Guo Tao said that the investment is small, the effect is quick, and it can be done without leaving home. As long as the relevant information about pigs is released, someone will pay attention to it. Not only that, it also shortens the distance between farmers and consumers, providing a platform for both sides to learn technology and exchange experience.

The sales channel is unblocked, and Guo Tao's breeding confidence is more sufficient. Talking about future development, Guo Tao said that it is necessary to develop the ability to breed sows, expand the scale of breeding, continue to interact with consumers with the help of the network platform, and break regional restrictions with minimum cost, so that pigs raised under the forest can "walk" to the dining table of thousands of families. At the same time, we should also build our own brand to attract more large businessmen to come to visit.
