Iwo Wild Mountain Apricot Achieves Rich Road

Yiwu County has a cool climate, and the territory is full of wild apricot, begonia, apple, apple and other natural fruit trees. in recent years, Yiwu County has planted apricot, apple and jujube on a certain scale, but due to the lack of good packaging and smooth marketing, fruit farmers are self-produced and sold on their own, with little profit. With the processing of green agricultural products in Yiwu County, 32-year-old Kudu Abduriyimu has found a way to get rich.

Kudus, a native of Yiwu County, graduated from * * University in July 2007. After graduating from the university, he broadened his horizons by going to the mainland to develop better provinces and cities. In May 2010, the Central working Forum and a new round of Xinjiang Aid work Conference made Kudus aware of the entrepreneurial opportunity, so he returned to Yiwu on the eve of the Spring Festival in 2011 and decided to start a business on his doorstep.

Making use of the unique resources, relevant policies and accumulated contacts and business experience of Yiwu County, Kudus set up a new type of "Yifuyuan Agricultural products Cooperative" which integrates production, processing, tourism, exhibition and sales in a very short time. "without the support and help of the government, my cooperative could not have been set up so smoothly. With the support of the local government, I have great confidence in starting a business." Kudos said.

After the establishment of Yifuyuan agricultural products professional cooperative, wild apricot, apples and other agricultural products were uniformly packaged and sold on the market, with a market price of 8 yuan per kilogram and considerable profits. Today, there are 103 farmers in cooperatives, with a registered capital of 3.2 million yuan.

On the shelves directly operated by the cooperative, there are products such as wild apricot herbal tea, dried wild apricot, packaged red dates, and other agricultural and sideline products. Kudus said that in order to meet the market demand, in 2014, the cooperative invested more than 200,000 yuan to buy cleaning machines, dryers, dehydrators, packaging machines, etc., and signed a Xinjiang sales agency contract with Urumqi Xiyu Trading Co., Ltd. Over the past five years, the cooperative production and processing production line has been continuously improved, and the trademarks of "Yifu Yuan" and "Atak" have been registered one after another.

Since Yassen Abli, a local farmer, joined the cooperative, his family's per capita income has increased by 1800 yuan. He is grateful to Kudus: "Kudos has done a good thing for us all." Wild apricot, which no one wanted in the past, can now bring us income. "

Kudus told the reporter that at present, the products produced by the cooperative do not worry about the market, and the biggest problem is that the raw materials cannot keep up. Last year, with the help of the government, the cooperative invested more than 200,000 yuan to transfer 250 mu of orchards. Now, the total area of orchards has reached 750 mu, and it is planned to transfer 1000 mu of orchards within three years. At present, the apples in Yiwu County have been organically certified, and when the apple trees hang fruit, the cooperative will add a new apple processing production line to further improve the added value of apples and let farmers get more benefits from it.
