* * Farmers sell live chickens on Taobao

It is reported that farmers in Letu Yi Town, Manas County put "chicken stalls" on Taobao, where local chickens and geese are sold online, ranging from 160 yuan to 400 yuan. From the first few varieties to now 16 varieties. Since the local chicken store settled on Taobao, it has attracted the intention of cooperation from customers in Sichuan, Chongqing and Guangdong.

On the early morning of August 4, Liu Changan, president of Manas County Yinlu Poultry raising Professional Cooperative, was busy packing 23 native chickens into cardboard boxes and shipping them to Urumqi. Liu Changan said that this batch of native chickens are ordered on Taobao, each priced at 180 yuan, and now they are delivered about twice a week.

Liu Changan is the head of the Yinlu Poultry raising Professional Cooperative. He has 22 years of poultry raising experience, and his name is popular among local farmers. In June 2008, under the organization of the local government, he set up a professional cooperative of Yinlu poultry farming composed of 162 farmers, with a total of more than 40 breeding bases. Liu Changan said that Letu Yi Town is rich in water and grass, which is very suitable for raising green and natural native chickens and geese, which are mostly raised by local farmers. "Sanhuang chickens sold on the market, we also call commercial chickens, are generally raised for only 70 days, broilers are raised for only 42 days, and green native chickens are raised for half a year." Liu Changan said that at first they only sold to cities around Urumqi and Manas County because they did not establish a fixed sales channel and the volume of retail sales was small. Liu Changan heard that many people were shopping online, so he decided to try it online.

It took Liu Changan more than half a year from the beginning of preparation to the opening of business. To this end, the government of Letu Town specially equipped Yinlu Poultry raising Professional Cooperative with three staff members responsible for network technical guidance. On May 18, the "local chicken shop" on Taobao officially opened. Since setting up a stall online, Liu Changan is delighted to find that the online market is much bigger than he thought. On the second day of opening, a customer from Chongqing contacted Liu Changan and wanted to have a look at the feeding situation of the cooperative. If you meet the requirements, you also want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship. After that, customers in Chengdu and Guangdong have the intention of long-term cooperation. Liu Changan said that from being able to sell two to three on the Internet on the first day, to more than a dozen later. Nowadays, he has more and more customers, and the price varies according to the variety and growth age, and the longer the growth time, the higher the price.

Liu Changan told reporters that the cooperative requires that all breeding bases must be kept free in accordance with unified requirements, and be equipped with special personnel to supervise them. Once they are found that the time for free breeding does not meet the regulations, they will not be acquired. For farmers, the net profit of a chicken is 40 yuan, sales go up, for farmers, the benefit is still considerable.

The reporter saw on the Taobao Letu Post Chicken Shop that they have special delivery cars, which are generally delivered within 72 hours. Liu Changan said that no matter how perfect the immediate freezing measures after the slaughter of live birds are, they will not be able to maintain the original taste and nutrition, and a lot of nutrition will be lost in the process of transportation, so they only provide live poultry express delivery. so that people who want to eat native chickens and geese can really eat the freshest green chickens and geese. The reporter learned that this is the first online local chicken store in Xinjiang. At present, Liu Changan has expanded his breeding breeds, including not only native pheasants and geese, but also 16 breeds such as red-billed geese, turkeys and wild pheasants. 3000 native pheasants have been sold through the Internet, with a profit of 120000 yuan.
