The network of economic observers, journalists, went into the field at 5:30 a. M., and the small town hidden in the green hills of the five-five mountains lit the lights. Lights have been lit in the villages of precipice, archipelagic and other growing towns, which are the main towns for the supply of the country's winter cuisine. Within a few moments, the workers who were asleep were riding on electric vehicles to the melon orchards on which their generation depended. Most of them wear jobs that have not changed for more than a decade: long hoods or scarves covering most of their faces, gaseous long shirts, thin coats that quickly cover their tow, and tanned skin。
In this tropical coastal city, known as east hawaii, mangoes, high-end lotus fog entrepreneurs, soybeans growers, etc., constitute a little-known aspect of it. On 16 and 17 december, journalists from the economic watch network spoke to three growers in the field, whose story became a microcosm of the rise of sanya agriculture and the fall in prices in the chinese consumer market in 2021。
June's mango merchant
A butterfly incited wings in brazil and could cause a cyclone in texas in the united states after january. Similarly, a drizzle in sanya in september could double the price of mangoes in beijing after three months。
The fruit industry is one of the main industries in hainan province, with mango being the most widely grown. The data show that in 2020, the area under cultivation in hainan mango and the chaoyang district in beijing was equal to 834,000 acres. Of the 25 districts of hainan, sanya city has the largest area under cultivation, accounting for about 50 per cent of the total area under cultivation, with an annual value of 6 billion。
In 2003, roh yu came to sanya from his home to start mango cultivation. From a small point of view, he has now contracted 200 acres of mango garden in may, phoenix, sanya. Moreover, most of his family had contracted mango cultivation in sanya, where more than 70 per cent of large-scale mango growers had migrated from fujian。
“mango cultivation is the technology of luck. The need for our kind to grow early mangoes breaks the old mango growth pattern. In september, the morning mango pollen began to move, and mango production would be greatly affected if it was caught in a mild or too dry weather. Last year, 200 acres of mango gardens produced more than 400,000 pounds, while this year's production was estimated to be less than 300,000 pounds affected by weather.”
In addition to production fluctuations, there are price fluctuations。
“at normal times, mangoes began to be marketed in april at a low price, when they were priceless. In the first half of 2020, for example, we were affected by the epidemic and high yields, and in april the purchase price was just over a pound, which is why we were in a hurry to get to the mango. There are few mangoes on the market, and the early mango purchase price was around $6 per pound last december. In addition to the cost of the intermediate transport, the wholesale market in beijing is now worth more than nine pounds, and the price of supermarkets has risen to a dozen pounds, as indicated by roto yu。
The fluctuations in production and prices directly affect the annual harvest. After 18 years of mango cultivation, roh yu has experienced a lot of money and a year's loss of hundreds of thousands。
You can't all make money from mango. Mango was in bad shape last year, with only $0. 6 per pound in may when wholesale prices for mango were lowest, and $0. 3 per pound for mango pickers. “last year i lost half a million to 150 acres of mango gardens in partnership with another shareholder. In general, only four adults may have made money last year and four adults may have lost money. Seven adults can make money in good times. One hundred and fifty million people can make a good year on 150 acres. In general, the probability of losing is a little smaller, otherwise we wouldn't have been growing mangoes."
An intuitive set of data shows the pressure of his annual investment - mango is contracted for 90 yuan/year for each mango rent and 19. 44 yuan/year for mango insurance for major disasters. 7000 mangoes cost 766,000 a year. The annual harvest, the annual payment of 300,000 workers for fertilizer, fertilizer, pesticides, etc. More than a million acres of light a year。
Apart from the fact that production and prices are not controlled by growers, roh yu needs to ensure that all controllable factors do not go wrong。
“don't make mistakes or die. For example, if the dose or concentration of the pesticide that mango hit at the time of the hanging occurred, the whole fruit would be burned, and that would be over. There is also a percentage of failure in the early flowering of mangoes, and we need to replenish them in a timely manner。
After moving from fujian to thirty-eight years, roh tzu-woo has been granted hainan residence and has purchased a house in sanya. Although the speech also had a fujian accent, it had become a hainan of the tunnel. And when he talks about the hainan specialty, he can give you a series of descriptions of the local tastes and practices。
Even so, in his vision, when he waited for himself to do so, he returned to his home. He said, “in the traditional belief that when you are 60 or 70 years old, you want to go back, you want to feel like you're dead. It was forced to do business in the first place, in the first place, with no culture, no means of earning money without going out to do business, and not in the first place in hainan.”
Now, his children were in third grade in hainan and he hoped that his children would try not to go to universities in the north and would not allow them to continue their mango cultivation。
“the northern bathhouses, the weather, etc. Are certainly not used to them, and we try to guide her to the south. After graduation, he also hoped that the child would return to fujian's job” and then hesitated for a few seconds, saying, “but the child grew up in hainan from an early age, neither in hainan nor in huiyang, and his friends and classmates are here to go to school or to respect her opinion.”
High-end lotus mist explorer
In 2009, xu hong's family came to sanya mayor yamamura with 500,000 start-up funds to establish sanyan deer industries, inc. 12 years later, the company ran over 1,000 acres and generated about 50 million in sales in 2020. In 2015, the service of the non-ferrous metals agency of the national council of state also provided 10 million additional funding to enterprises。
From the very beginning, he's positioned the mist at the top. For example, the company has developed the country's newest type of lotus mist, the nande i, at a price of $480 for 12 of them (approximately 4. 5 pounds). By contrast, the market price for ordinary lotus mist is 30 yuan per pound. Even at high prices, the company’s lumber is still short of demand. “we now have a lot of outstanding orders, and the country’s high-end lumber suppliers are just a few, according to xu hong。
Looking back at the 12-year career of entrepreneurship, seo hong is impressed by the fact that this road has come a long way。
"we were small businesses in 2012, but we needed 20,000 dollars for the most basic investment in a acre of high-end lotus mist, and we wanted to grow it with the surrounding farmers in order to expand the area. So we bought more than 90,000 seedlings at a cost of $3 million, went door to door, asked if there was any idle land, promised free seedlings and fertilizer, and regularly directed.”
The results were not satisfactory. During the return visit, the family found that many growers did not insist on planting. “on the one hand, the return cycle is longer, the basic first five years require constant investment, and more people choose to grow mangoes or vegetables with a faster return; on the other hand, the planting of the mist requires precision management. From cuttings, combs, bags, pickings, etc., lotus mists require artificial care throughout their lives, with few mechanized applications.”
While the area under cultivation is being promoted externally, there is a need to break technological challenges within companies。
Xu hong said: “in fact, southeast asia is growing a lot of mist, and we can open up the price gap with others in just 10 years, and renewal and planting techniques are critical. For example, our lotus trees are grown organically, including mixed fermentation of milk, fish shrimp, red sugar, fungi, seaweed, etc., to fruit trees, which are much better in quality and taste than chemical fertilizers; at the same time, we are technically staggering 1,000 acres of the mist to produce it throughout the year. The cumulative investment now amounts to about $100 million.”
Until now, technical difficulties such as the cracks in the mist and the suspensions are still awaiting further breakthroughs. “in the light of the limited research and development capacity of enterprises themselves and the fact that the consumption of liquefie is generally small, there are fewer research institutions in the market for this purpose, and many reproduction techniques are still at a relatively early stage and are left to the enterprises themselves. To that end, last year, in cooperation with the bay science and technology city authority of sanyacre, we established the tri-asian nande tropical fruit tree institute, which is also hoping to make further technical efforts.”
It smells like wine, too. When high-end product cultivation was successful, xu hong found it difficult to obtain market recognition for individual enterprise products during the roll-out. Against this background, in 2013, xu hong's efforts with partners to promote the establishment of the samalene moot association were initiated with the aim of creating a landmark product through the development of industry standards that would eventually push market demand。
As soon as the association was established, it worked with scientific research units and government departments to develop industry standards, including planting, packaging, procurement, marketing and after-sales services, which eventually led to healthy industry development and branding effects. The san yalian fog brand, as declared by the association, has now been certified as a national agricultural product geographer。
Following the opening of its visibility, in recent years xu hong has received frequent visits from media outlets throughout the country, and the association has also led its members to national fairs around the country every year to promote awareness, including the china international agricultural fair, the china international tropical fair, etc. The membership of the association has also expanded to almost 60 members。
On the market side, xu hong has begun to taste high-end lout. “the park now produces more than 10,000 pounds per day, in the form of pre-sale sales, a year of short supply and four seasons of short supply, with little need for publicity, such as live delivery. The lumber is taken in the morning and transported by air to the long triangle in the afternoon.”
Turning to the business future, xu hong has said: “on the one hand, we want to continue to expand. On the other hand, there is a risk that pure farming will take place. Industrial small towns are the most desirable direction for enterprises to develop, with the aim of building a single town of san yalian mis, which combines modern agricultural tourism, home-based catering and rest and recuperation.”
Local bean grower
"where do you count as the boss, the average farmer, making hard money?"
Since the age of 20, lin has followed his parents in growing bean bean horns on the rise of the seaside winter beads. There are now eight acres contracted here by lin, with beans and rice grown in winter and summer。
On 16 december, at 9 a. M., the temperature in the kitchen was 26 degrees, and for those who had long office space, the burning of the sun was already felt, and it was common practice to have light in the bushes of a brass skin. In order to catch the early market, lin and his workers need to start picking at 6 a. M. During the interview, he was also too busy putting the bean bean horns up in the trunk, with only one to talk. One morning, 12 people can pick up 10,000 bean horns。
For the 41-year-old lin, there are few options for employment outside the soybeans, and the monthly salary of local service providers is around $2,000. “the beans are one of our most popular winter guacamole varieties, and they are more economically efficient. I don't have any other technical work, either to take care of two children in primary school. As long as you work hard, it's okay to feed your family”。
Last winter, the price of guacamole was at an all-time high in some parts of the winter, thanks to a combination of factors such as the recovery of acquisitions and weather. Since the market was launched in december this year, prices have remained high, with purchase prices floating at more than $6 per pound, and revenue from forest revenues rising。
Lin has his own concerns。
“eight acres of soybeans are contracted by other farmers at an annual rent of $3,000 per acre, which is already cheaper locally. One picker collects a five-hour soybean price of $100, which is usually hired once a day. At the time of the bean rack, there were 450 yuan per day for men and 320 yuan per day for women, and daily meals were required. Fertilizer prices have also risen rapidly, from $150 a bag (100 pounds) last year to $230 this year.”
The reporter was given a master sum of approximately $8,500 a year for an acre of soybeans, and the purchase price was more than $2. 4 per pound to ensure that it was not lost. If it's bad, it'll be a year。
In order to ensure a steady increase in farm incomes, in 2018 sanya introduced a winter guacao price index insurance, with municipal financial subsidies for insured farmers. The data show that, as of november 2020, a cumulative sum of $9,728,500 was paid, benefiting 2416 households。
During the rest of the leave period, lin yubuki also asked them to come and help collect beans, but he did not want his children to continue growing beans like their parents. “there must be a lot of jobs in the city, now that the state of cliffs is being built. It is hoped that they will work there after graduation, without sun and rain
