Last year, just after the typhoon, with no agricultural insurance, liu feng of lao gao county made $3. 3 million by staring at the 1,500 acres of bananas he had taken out. It is axiomatic that the biggest pit for farmers to plant bananas is not a natural disaster, but rather an incurable disease, an unaffordable cost, and an open road. The land hosting cooperative business model of the hainan sales society, which was driven by these three pains, has been solid for many years, not by luck, but by technology, organization and branding。
It's dyingBanana cultivationThe biggest pit
It's obvious that anyone who prevents the atrophy can make money, that they can't even produce the fruit, and that the price is fine with you. He added that bananas were dead in guangxi and yunnan. The atrophy has reduced local production by 30 per cent this year, and there is a continuing trend to spread southwards. There is a huge gap in the demand for integrated prevention and control technologies, and whoever has control skills has the initiative to take over the entire industrial chain。
In 2009, liu feng tried to scale up just after the peak of cultivation, carrying 2 million bananas from his home in fujian. As a result, in 2011 there was a concentrated outbreak of atrophy, and less than two years later he was unable to plant bananas completely and had to switch to inefficient sugar cane. In 2012, he had met with his senior security officer and had been on the ground for almost a year before he had resolved to release all 1,500 acres of land he had leased to the institute。
How do you share the money in the hosting mode
Farmers spend their land plus a portion of start-up funds, which are used by the company to coordinate loans or to fill the financing gap by entering the stock, procure agricultural resources before the birth, manage production for the whole cycle, sell after delivery and then split the profits in proportion to the contribution. Part of the money earned by semi-trustee farmers is calculated as management fees and performance, and a specific percentage is negotiated by both parties, with a high degree of flexibility and no one being tied to death。
The model has been piloted in 2012 for almost five years now, and is being used in national distribution systems for agricultural stores and logistics distribution networks. For the first three years, companies collected only a small fee for grass-roots services, and the main profits were recovered from trade value added premiums, keeping the threshold for farmers ' participation to a minimum. Full-time, semi-dependency, technology, farming, marketing and trusting are a combination of five ways in which farmers choose to do so, without having to cut or pay an extra penny。
How did the tech team stop the atrophy
The first step after the company's technical team took over was soil testing, which selected the disease-resistant species according to the plot conditions, followed by a soil improvement and planting management plan to ensure the commodity ratio of the fruits. With his team growing bananas for more than 20 years in the town of go nambao, the rate of atrophy was reduced from 10. 8 per cent in 2000 to about 1 per cent, while the next 6,000 acres base had been completely converted to alternative crops by 2015。
At the heart of the prevention and control of atrophy is the ecological cycle, with a significant reduction in the use of pesticide fertilizers, which makes the quality of bananas visible. Nearly 10,000 acres of land are now in the custody of farmers who come to the house on their own initiative after seeing the practical effects of the nearby base and who do not use the company for marketing. According to one side, the rigidity of crop management technology is a prerequisite for the promotion of trusteeship, although the mode of closure is no longer sustainable, and there is no shortcut to go but to do so。
How much did uaa save
Liu feng had made his own calculations, following a single procurement channel for the distribution system, and the cost of a banana farm on its own was between 10 and 20 per cent cheaper than it would have been if it had gone to town to buy zero. One hundred and fifty acres per acre will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in one year alone. Together with the company's unified design of fertilizer, medicine, irrigation nodes and quantities, there will be no excessive waste or leakage, and every penny will be spent on the blade and will not be spent。
Sea nam banana cultivation has shrunk from a peak of nearly a million acres to less than 300,000 acres today, the most significant reason being the failure to win with atrophy. Small-scale farmers, who buy their own agricultural resources and manage their own land, have little cost and efficiency to bear in mind the development needs of modern agriculture. With decentralized growers organized by marketing agencies, bargaining power is much more powerful than it is in the diaspora, and risk resistance follows。
Uniform brands sold to high markets
It was emphasized that high-quality products never lost track. Each batch of bananas is inspected prior to sale, and for several years the company's bananas have been in short supply. The distribution networks of the national supply and distribution system provide direct access to beijing, tianjin, shanghai, shandong and liaoning, using quality and size effects to secure greater bargaining and pricing rights, and are no longer subject to middlemen。
Liu feng said that after the unification of the brand and packaging, a pound of bananas was more than a penny more expensive than the sale. On the basis of 150 hectares per acre and 40-50 pounds per acre, one acre earns more than $600, and 1,500 acre represents almost a million net increments. The fact that many people don't make money with bananas is not a matter of fashion, but of quality, lack of brand endorsement, and have to be sold at the lowest price, no one can blame。
It's gonna be 100,000 acres in the future
The objective is clear: to expand the trust area from the present level of nearly 10,000 acres to 100,000 acres over the next five years, providing agricultural socialization services to more farmers. He stated that the three main risks of pest and pest threats, volatile market prices and extreme weather conditions had forced the sea-south banana industry to be scaled up, and that what the marketing community did was to build a platform for the consolidation of management, farming and marketing。
Liu feng concluded that the agricultural map was made with a steady return, with enough fees paid in early years, a lack of integration of resources, limited access to market information and weak risk resistance. Now handing over the land to the base and occasionally to the base, saving time and earning money every year, are the benefits of cooperative land management。
