Wangcheng Bajiaxing's Small Vegetable Dream: Fine Processing Drives Farmers to Become Rich

Farmers in twos and threes are working in the fields, and the patches of snow are growing just right, lush and lovable.

Xiong Yuming (second from right) is watching the growth of vegetables this year with the villagers.

The villagers are sealing the cellar. In a few days, the sauerkraut here will be on the table of thousands of families.

On the last day of 2015, on a sunny day, at the vegetable base of Bajiaxing Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., Getang Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha, farmers in twos and threes were working in the fields.

"there is a guarantee of doing things here. I have never been in arrears with my wages right on my doorstep. I have more than 3000 yuan a month, and there is more than 30,000 yuan a year, which is much better than working outside." Villager Yuan Zhengbin told the reporter happily.

Two species a year: to make the land idle in winter come alive

Like Yuan Zhengbin, there is also Yang Jianjun, a local grain grower, who works on his doorstep. Last year, he contracted more than 200 mu of land to grow rice. "later, he transferred another 80 mu of land to Boss Xiong, earning more than 4000 yuan per mu for two seasons a year. The potherb they planted never had to worry about marketing, and it was easy to manage. Everyone's income can be improved."

The Boss Xiong mentioned by Yang Jianjun is Xiong Yuming, chairman of Hunan Bajiaxing Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. Xiong Yuming said that there are 5.5 million mu of rice planted in Changsha, mainly double-cropping rice and supplemented by single-cropping rice. "all rice is harvested before November every year, and spring ploughing production will not begin until April of the following year. It is a pity that the rice fields are idle for five months every year in winter. "

In September 2015, Bajiaxing successively signed a guaranteed reserve price purchase agreement with more than a dozen vegetable growers, including Wangcheng District 10,000 mu vegetable demonstration Zone and Ningxiang County, and more than 30 major grain growers and vegetable growers.

"after harvesting rice, co-operatives and major grain growers plant potherb in accordance with our technical requirements. Seedlings are raised at the end of September and transplanted from October to November. During the growing period, according to the temperature, it can be harvested in 2 to 3 months. " Xiong Yuming said, "in this way, it not only makes full use of the idle land in winter, but also drives the villagers to get rich. Why not do it?"

Return to hometown to start a business: 3000 mu of base drives more than 400 people to work

In 2009, Xiong Yuming, who was originally engaged in wholesale business in the Gaoqiao Market in Changsha, saw the prospects of the rural market and decisively returned to his hometown to start a business. "when I was a child, I wanted to leave the countryside, but now I look back and find that, no matter in terms of national policies or personal feelings, the entrepreneurial prospects in my hometown are very broad."

In 2011, Xiong Yuming established Hunan Bajiaxing Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 20.11 million yuan. "this year, our contracted planting area with large grain growers has reached more than 3000 mu, which is only a small part of it." Talking about the green snow in front of him, Xiong Yuming could not restrain the excitement in his heart. "at present, we have promoted the employment of more than 400 people around us through various forms."

Xiong Yuming calculated his economic account for the reporter. "at present, villagers plant potherb on their land, and when harvesting, we buy it at a guaranteed price of 0.8 yuan per catty. As long as we plant it in accordance with our technical requirements, the yield per mu can reach at least 5000 jin. In this way, idle winter rice fields can generate at least 4000 yuan of income every year."

Xiong Yuming said, "We also have to give farmers an annual rent of more than 1000 yuan per mu. In this way, one mu of land can increase farmers' income by more than 5000 yuan in one winter. If a large grain grower has 10 mu of land, that is 50, 000, which is considerable for the local villagers." "starting from next year, our winter vegetable purchase plan will expand to more than 10,000 mu," he told reporters. "

Fine processing: bring fresh and refreshing dishes to the dining table of thousands of families

Next to the Bajiaxing vegetable base, greenhouses attracted the attention of reporters. "that is our deep processing base. There are more than 200 pits in a greenhouse."

In one of the greenhouses, I happened to meet several villagers who came to work, who were sealing the soil above the cellar. "this ensures that the air is not allowed to get in." Peng Zuyou, a villager, is carrying a load of soil to pour the cellar that has just been covered with film. "A cellar like this is a snow pot that can hold 45000 jin."

This figure surprised the reporter. A pit of less than 20 cubic meters can hold such a large amount, Xiong Yuming said. "this is the charm of fine processing." There must be no room for so many fresh vegetables just put in. " He pointed to the fresh vegetables brought in that morning. "there are two carts, one truckload of 6000 jin, and there is no room for one cellar, exposing more than half a meter. In less than two weeks, the microbes will disappear as soon as they ferment, and it will be no problem to load four more carts."

Xiong Yuming said that here is the production of refreshing sauerkraut, and then packaging and sales, "bagged or canned." It can be said that through the production, processing and sales of one-stop. In a few days, the sauerkraut here will be on the table of thousands of families. "
