At 4 a. M. At the village entrance, zhang was crouching on the field and smoking a third cigarette。
This year, corn fell another eight cents and an acre of seed fertilizer was cut off, making less than $300 net。
The young people in the village are gone, the elderly children who are waiting for money to buy medicine to go to school, and he's looking at the dark mountains and sighs — this day, when is the head
This is happening in thousands of villages in china。
Traditional agriculture, like old tractors, has become more and more stressful in times of flood。
When the urban population complained about 996, the farmers were going through a more brutal survival test: a wheat crop would be better off buying flour, raising a rooster would be less than enough for feed, a year of hard work, and the books would always be an eyeball negative。
But on this seemingly barren land, a “gold industry” called the yellow crystal fruits is surging, with 200,000 people entering the country each year to buy the whole house。
I. Yellow crystal。
This magic fruit, which is of south american origin, cuts off the meat with transparent gel, like honey-covered jell-o with light milk on its way in。
Even more striking is its price, which is 30-50 yuan per pound, three times as high as sun rose grapes and two times as high as carts. At sam's member shop in shenzhen, two gift boxes were sold at $198 and remained in short supply。
The vortex code of yellow crystal fruit is hidden in three dimensions:
1. Scarcity of symmetrical competition: less than 50,000 acres are grown on a domestic scale, with major production areas concentrated in yunnan, guangxi, hainan and almost empty markets in the north. The listing period of july-november each year coincides with the filling of the decisive phase of tropical water。
The east wind of consumer upgrading: the new midlife's quest for a “no one but me” experience, with yellow crystals becoming a new attraction for friends based on their high colour and unique taste。
3. The potential for deep processing is enormous: fruit and meat can produce fruit sauce, jelly and ice cream, and even oil can be extracted from the bark of fruit, and the industrial chain can extend in more spatial terms than a durian。
In yunnan yuanjiang, chen ho, a young man, converted his ancestral rubber forest to yellow crystal fruit after 90 years, and in the third year, he made 800 pounds of acre production. He counted 40 acres of land and 20 pounds of production on a single one, at a cost of 40 yuan per pound, up to $32,000, 15 times the value of a sugar cane。
Why do you want to grow yellow crystal
1. Input output is alarming。
Compared with millions of plant agriculture, yellow crystal follows the “light assets” route. The next year is ready for fruit and three years for production. More temptingly, it survives 30 years like a mango tree, known as a “green money printer”。
2. High risk resistance。
This breed carries its own "triple-proof" properties:
Insects: vegetable skins are naturally waxy and common pests are unable to vent。
Prevention of disease: the leaf is home-grown with antibacterial substances and anthrax is rare。
Disaster preparedness: drought- and flood-resistant, growing in the 1,000-2000 mm area of annual rainfall。
3. The marketing channels are fully accessible。
Now we're in time:
Community-based buy-in: voluntary buys are made through a box of horses, orchards, etc。
Electronics live: 37 per cent of the tv100 broadcaster is carrying yellow fruit。
Tourism: orchard picks up as much as 60 yuan per pound, which also boosts farm income。
Iii. From seedlings to cash: a guide to hands-on teaching。
First step: land selection (march-april)
Soil: sandy border soil at ph 5. 5 - 6. 5, digging for a metre of pedestal, applying 20 kg decomposition of sheep + 1 kg of calcium phosphate。
Density: 33 plants per acre at a distance of 5 m x 4 m, with mechanical operation channels reserved。
Saplings: choose two years to get married, and be careful to identify “fake seedlings” (the real saplings have milk juice)
Step 2: fertilizer management (key year-round)
Teenage: application of 1 high nitrogen compound fertilizer per month, combined with drip irrigation to maintain 60 per cent soil moisture。
Hang-up period: two fertilizing periods of fruit expansion to prevent fissures。
Secret: fermented sugar cane dregs buried in a tree canopy projector, which can raise two degrees of sweetness。
Step 3: twisting (may-june)
Using the “one-main-dry-dip” fungus, cutting out the inner-bore branches, cross-cutting branches and retaining 15-20 result branches. Remember the saying, "clip, cut, cut, cut, cut."。
Step 4: collection and sale (july-november)
Criterion: fruit peels are turned green to yellow, leaving shallow marks with a thin nail。
Harvest techniques: twirling with cotton gloves, avoiding damage to fruit handles。
Food conservation methods: packaged with pearl cotton net and stored for 45 days at 0-4°c。
Iv. Guide to pit avoidance: do not step on these mined areas。
1. Climate trap。
Yellow crystal is a typical “tropical princess” with an average annual temperature of less than 18°c. The construction of two-storey hot sheds in hubei, hunan and other areas has increased dramatically by 30 per cent。
2. Facing species。
There are many species, such as “taiwan's chosen” “thai diamond”, on the market, with significant variations in performance. It is recommended that the selection of the “thermal farmer no. 1”, which was validated by the national tropical crop centre, should be more resistant to disease and yield than other varieties。
3. Misscale。
Let's not blindly expand the area. It is recommended that three to five acres of test water be planted, with a focus on milling cultivation techniques and marketing channels. The first 20 acres were planted in nanning, guangxi, and as a result, management was unable to keep pace, one third of the fruit suffered from morbid conditions and heavy losses。
4. Policy dividend。
Don't forget to apply for agricultural subsidies. In yunnan, a subsidy of $800 per acre is paid for the planting of specialty fruits; and facilities are subsidized for agricultural purposes for the construction of cold storage. It'll save you a lot of money。
Standing in an orchard on the side of the yuanjiang, chen ho is directing workers to stick a retroactive 2d code to fruit trees. Scanning allows for logbooks and pesticide tests of the tree, and this transparent production has led to a 40 per cent increase in the repurchase rate. He's expecting another 20 acres next year, and he's going to open a yellow crystal theme experience shop in the county。
For ordinary farmers, this may be the worst era — where traditional agriculture is being left behind; but it is also the best time — where every subdivision is waiting for the breaking point。
The planting of the first yellow fruit tree may be the beginning of a change of destiny。
After all, in agriculture, this marathon, choosing the right track is more important than running。
