The leader of getting rich in the living Classic of Medicinal Materials

At present, it is the season of crop sowing, seedling raising and transplanting. Jiang Guoliang, chairman of Hubei Yuanzhi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., is also busy with a new "business", which is to drive and guide farmers to plant traditional Chinese medicine.

Recently, the reporter walked into Hubei Yuanzhi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. located in Tianmen High-tech Park and listened to Jiang Guoliang's description of his "Medicine Classic".

Jiang Guoliang, 56, had been engaged in the sales of Chinese herbal pieces before. In the process of buying medicinal materials from north to south, he found that many farmers in other places became rich by planting Chinese herbal medicines.

"The climate and soil of Tianmen can also be planted. Why can't the farmers in their hometown benefit as well?" With such thinking, in 2013, Jiang Guoliang raised 15 million yuan to go home to establish Hubei Yuanzhi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., whose business involves the production and sales of Chinese herbal pieces, the planting and purchase of Chinese medicinal materials, the purchase and sale of traditional Chinese medicine equipment, etc.

"The company is the platform." Jiang Guoliang said,"In order for farmers to break the traditional planting structure model and join the ranks of traditional Chinese medicine planting, there must be leaders and sales channels to ensure."

Following Jiang Guoliang into the company's production workshop, a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came to the nose, raw material warehouse, finished product warehouse, cool warehouse, easy-to-channel flavor warehouse, expensive fine medicine warehouse all available. After two years of development, an industrial chain has been set up here that integrates the cultivation, rough processing, deep processing, sales, marketing, storage and quality traceability of medicinal materials.

In 2014, Jiang Guoliang established Zhiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Professional Planting Cooperative to provide technical guidance and services for farmers willing to plant traditional Chinese medicine. Before that, he planted 1000 mu of Schizonepeta tenuifolia in Duobao Town for pilot projects.

After groping and studying, Jiang Guoliang summarized several advantages of planting traditional Chinese medicine: First, it is more beneficial than traditional crops. The second is to save time, labor and money. All kinds of medicinal materials are generally dry seeds, characterized by low temperature germination, high temperature long seedlings, wind resistance, insect resistance, drought resistance, no need to apply medicine. Third, do not worry about sales. Even if the medicinal materials cannot be sold for a while, they are not afraid. The dried medicinal materials or seeds are resistant to storage.

Mobilizing farmers to plant traditional Chinese medicine is not smooth, Jiang Guoliang said frankly,"After all, Tianmen has always been based on grain, cotton and oil, we are not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine."

In 2013, Jiang Guoliang persuaded relatives to take the lead in planting and planted 40 mu of Pinellia ternata on Jianghu Farm."Tianmen is suitable for the growth of Pinellia ternata. The quality of medicinal materials is good. There is no worry about no market." Sure enough, that year, this 40 mu Jing Pinellia produced more than 400,000 yuan of profits.

This success strengthened Jiang Guoliang's confidence, many farmers also began to try, the cooperative Jing Pinellia planting area also expanded to more than 300 mu.

Not long ago, Jiang Guoliang specially organized technical personnel to compile Technical Guide for Cultivation and Planting of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and invested more than 10,000 yuan to produce planting video CD, which recorded in detail the information including planting technology, harvesting and processing, planting benefit analysis, quality standard of medicinal materials, color map data of planting varieties, seeds and seedlings, etc., so as to facilitate farmers to plant traditional Chinese medicine and harvest wild traditional Chinese medicine.

"These materials will be distributed free of charge to farmers who are willing to grow traditional Chinese medicine, and the company will also provide full-process technical services and quality testing." Jiang Guoliang said,"We buy the medicinal materials planted by farmers at market prices."

Through the company's publicity, many farmers have also learned to identify and pick wild Chinese medicinal materials. "Don't look at some 'weeds' that aren't eye-catching. Maybe they're 'golden nubble'." Speaking of medicinal materials, Jiang Guoliang gushed,"Like wild chrysanthemum, mulberry, Artemisia argyi and so on, These can be picked according to the requirements and sold to us, Yuekou Town 56-year-old Mr. Yan last summer just a few months through the harvest of Ligustrum lucidum increased income of more than 10,000 yuan."

This year, the development of selenium-rich industry ushered in spring, and the planting of traditional Chinese medicinal materials also took advantage of the "selenium" wind. The cooperative has reached an agreement with Fengmiao Village of Pengshi Town to develop the planting of selenium-rich traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Next, Jiang Guoliang also plans to set up a traditional Chinese medicine purchasing station in each township market. Talking about the future of Chinese herbal medicine industry, Jiang Guoliang said with longing,"The sick rely on good doctors, good doctors need good medicine, hope Chinese herbal medicine planting can help more farmers open the door to prosperity."
