Shouguang chrysanthemum growers Liu Yuzhong: Dig out the "two roads" to get rich

More than 20 years ago, when most of the vegetable farmers planted ordinary vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, and eggplants, Liu Yuzhong, a villager in the top of the ancient city streets of Shouguang City, opened a different approach and specialized in special vegetable planting. He used the tender chrysanthemum to be a "stepping stall" for getting rich. In recent years, he has continuously expanded the planting scale, and has embarked on a way to get rich with a flexible and innovative mind.

Twenty years of planting special dishes, there is no market to be in short supply

"The field of fields in the field is finished. These two days are ready to be busy with our Shouguang." The man who had been working with special vegetables for more than 20 years still did not change the wind and fire and ran around. When talking to reporters, he always responded with concise words, and the phone in his hand was hit from time to time.

Liu Yuzhong has been breeding chrysanthemums for more than 20 years. In 2000, Liu Yuzhong, who was still engaged in vegetable transportation at that time, learned that Shouguang introduced the special variety of chrysanthemums. When he heard that the planting prospect was good, he wanted to try it. In July of the same year, he contracted 20 acres of land in the village and started the chrysanthemum trial.

"Chrysanthemum is a treasure, leaf can clear heat and detoxify, diuretic and swelling, and can make tea and medicine." Liu Yuzhong told reporters that with the continuous development of the market, the chrysanthemums he planted now have been sold to all parts of the country. Among them, high -end merchants super superior The hotel is the main partner. "Planting chrysanthemums is important to raise roots. In July each year, seedlings are sowed, and the roots are collected four months later. All the rooted roots are installed into the cold storage. In the case, Liu Yuzhong took out his mobile phone and showed reporters Da Tianju in Inner Mongolia. "

In addition to the local chrysanthemum field in Shouguang, Liu Yuzhong also included 100 acres of land in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and other places, specifically used to plant chrysanthemums. "Planting chrysanthemums is large, time -consuming and labor -intensive, and a lot of labor, especially in the later period, all chrysanthemums need to be harvested and packaged manually." Liu Yuzhong said that chrysanthemums are green and harmless vegetables, which are recognized by the market. It is because the market demand of Jujie has been increasing in the past two years, and many merchants have placed orders in advance. "Only by expanding the scale can we meet the large -scale needs of merchants and markets."

"In 2018, I applied for the" Lu Yikang "trademark and printed the gift box packaging. Once launched, it was very popular with consumers." Liu Yuzhong said that the chrysanthemum is a treasure, after the bud ball is sold, the remaining meat roots are dry and sliced. , Can be used as medicine, can also be refined, which is a dual -use plant. Due to the outstanding economic value, Shanxi, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Beijing and other places have plant distribution. "The comprehensive value of chrysanthemums is relatively high. It is hailed as the" Almighty Leaf Vegetable ", but it is relatively low -cognitive than ordinary cabbage such as Chinese cabbage. ","

The development of the group focuses on the reputation, and the special planting future

"Chrysanthemum is different from the growth of other vegetables. It is not only afraid of light, but it is also afraid of everything. The growth process cannot be seen, and the transportation process cannot be seen." Liu Yuzhong told reporters that once the chrysanthemums see the light, the appearance becomes green. The taste will become bitter and directly affect market value.

Through so many years of planting, Liu Yuzhong saved a full "planting scripture" and also had a relatively mature sales channel. However, when he talked about the experience of the "first trial", he was not easy. "At that time, 20 acres of chrysanthemums were harvested by 6 acres. What is even more worrying is that a small number of harvested chrysanthemums in Shouguang also had no market." Liu Yuzhong said that he was wondering at the time that he was selling very hot chrysanthemums in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities. Why is it "unable to sell" in the Shouguang market.

In order to open the market, before the Spring Festival in 2000, Liu Yuzhong took the chrysanthemum to find customers everywhere. Several turns, Liu Yuzhong finally contacted a large vegetable company in Beijing to sell the 3,500 kg of chrysanthemums planted in the year at a price of 12 yuan/kg.

"Now the market has opened, and chrysanthemums are not worried about selling. Instead, consider how to expand the planting scale and keep up with market demand." After some consideration, Liu Yuzhong decided to go to the province to plant chrysanthemums according to market demand. "In recent years The influence, the market also has certain fluctuations. Now I am also controlling the scale and dare not blindly expand the planting area. "

According to reports, Juju is generally listed around the Spring Festival, and the wholesale price is around 24 yuan per kilogram. "Holding a group to run into the market and reputation is the key to the development of vegetables." Liu Yuzhong said that rare vegetables like chrysanthemums, good economic benefits, have good economic benefits. , But it is not suitable for blindly following the wind. The growers who want to try should master the planting technology first, and understand the market demand in advance before deciding.
