Never forget the villagers when raising pigs to get rich

"I started raising pigs early and on a large scale, and the villagers from the eight villages followed me to join the co-op!" November 11, Huaibin County Gudui Township Tuyi Village Yongkang pig breeding professional cooperative Ren Lekun told reporters.

Ren Lakun happily calculated an account for the reporter: the market of live pigs is particularly good this year! The price of live pigs is basically stable at 8.8 yuan per jin, while the prices of feed such as bran, soybean meal and corn have dropped a lot. Corn alone has dropped from 1.4 yuan per jin last year to 0.9 yuan per jin this year. This is good news for our co-operative. At present, there are more than 700 live pigs raised by me, and the annual output is more than 2000. According to the net income of 1000 yuan per pig, we can earn 2 million yuan a year.

To be rich is not to be rich, but it is to be rich. Since he first groped about raising pigs in 2004, Ren Lakun wanted to try the water first. If the benefits of raising pigs were good, he would mobilize the villagers to join in. In 2008, Ren Lekun, who has made a breakthrough in pig farming, initiated the establishment of Yongkang pig farming professional cooperative to promote relatives, friends and surrounding villagers to form an industrial chain. At present, there are more than a dozen cooperatives raising more than 400 pigs. The cooperative raises tens of thousands of pigs, with an annual net income of more than 10 million yuan.

In the future, cooperatives will be further based on large-scale and standardized farming, rely on scientific and technological progress, build well-known brands, broaden sales channels, connect with meat factories, and improve the added value of pig raising, so that cooperatives can really become a bridge for farmers to cooperate and develop and get rich together. Ren Lekun is full of confidence.
