Inside the office.
Xie Changping reported to Qin Yi the specific situation of the agricultural planting industry in Haitong City.
"Mayor, in terms of the planting industry in Haitong City, the development of fruits is the best! After all, compared to planting rice, fruits are much more profitable. Moreover, our Tiannan Province has many hilly areas, so we can grow rice, wheat, etc. It has always been inferior to other provinces. But when it comes to fruits, our Tiannan Province is number one in the country!"
Qin Yi nodded after listening.
As a native of Tiannan Province, he naturally knows it very well.
Tiannan Province occupies 76.6% of the area. Mountains and hills provide rich planting conditions for various fruit trees. With sufficient sunshine, abundant rainfall and a suitable climate, 70% of the country's fruits have found a home here.
Tiannan Province produces more than 250 kinds of fruits, accounting for more than 70% of the country's total. In other words, most of the domestic fruit varieties can be found here. Among them, the output of dragon fruit, passion fruit, persimmon, mango and other fruits ranks first in the country. The output is firmly in the top spot, and no one can beat it!
"Our Pittospor City is outstanding in the cultivation of passion fruit, dragon fruit, sugar cane, sugar orange and other fruits! Of course, many other fruits are also planted, but in terms of planting area, the first few are the largest." Xie Changping continued road.
"Well, sugarcane is planted in many cities in Tiannan Province." Qin Yi nodded.
After all, Tiannan Province is the largest sugar province in the country!
It is also No. 1 in the country in growing sugar cane!
"Actually, this kind of agriculture is a relatively low-level agricultural economic model. Our Haitong City, no, our entire Tiannan Province is like this. In terms of all kinds of fruits and sugar cane, our province is just a province that exports raw materials. Farmers, fruit growers We do the hardest work, but earn the least money!" Qin Yi shook his head slightly.
Just like taking sugar cane, although it is the largest sugar-producing province in the country, it produces more than tens of millions of tons of sugar every year, and there are hundreds of large and small sugar factories in the province.
but?
How much does a pound of sugar cost?
Not much money to be made!
"Our future agricultural upgrade route in Haitong City should develop towards the deep processing industry chain! Learn from food processing companies like Guolicheng!" Qin Yidao.
I believe many people have tasted Orange Fruit, and the raw material is orange.
But a bottle of oranges sells for 4 yuan, and they sell billions of them in China a year!
Of course, Fruity Orange's success did not happen overnight. Minute Maid, the company behind Fruity Orange, has more than 60 years of professional juice production experience.
So people can process cheap fruits and sell them for billions a year!
"Mayor Qin hit the nail on the head!" Xie Changping nodded with deep approval.
He is also a native of Tiannan Province.
When I was a child, my family grew a lot of sugar cane.
Every year after October, I cut sugar cane until I feel like crying, but I can’t make much money from a ton of sugar cane.
"We should introduce some companies that produce juices, canned fruits, dried fruit products, etc., or support some local processing plants to make them bigger and stronger! This is the correct path for our future agricultural economic development!" Qin Yi said in a deep voice.
Although this sentence is simple to say, it is very difficult to do!
To put it bluntly, it requires technology, research and development costs, and huge funds to support it.
Let’s just say that Minute Maid has 60 years of experience in making juice. Not to mention surpassing others, if you want to catch up with others, you need to pay a lot of costs!
But no matter how difficult it is, Haitong City and even Tiannan Province, as the country's largest fruit province, should work hard in this direction.
"But this kind of thing is not something we can take for granted. Whether it can happen or not, as the local government and local parents, we should do our best to support it!"
"What are some of the more famous fruit processing factories in our Haitong City?"
An hour later.
Qin Yi has a certain understanding of some agricultural and sideline products companies in Haitong City.
To put it bluntly, some relatively powerful agricultural and sideline product processing plants in Haitong City are currently operating on a small scale.
For example, some dried fruit food processing companies.
To be honest, the technical content of dried mango and persimmon processing is not very high. The technology is how to dry the fruits.
Juice companies, no!
There are one or two canning processing plants.
Because canned goods need to be disinfected, the equipment is not cheap!
…
A week later.
Qin Yi personally led the team and went to the countryside to conduct research on agriculture under the leadership of Xie Changping.
Generally speaking, after preliminary research, the focus of agriculture still depends on the fruit and sugar industries.
In addition, economic forests are okay, but economic forests damage water and soil, and Qin Yi is not very optimistic about them.
After all, for rural people and even urban people, beautiful scenery is the best.
Some eucalyptus trees, to put it bluntly, will still damage the local water and soil, and may even be poisonous and pollute water sources! Lin Qinyi is naturally very resistant to this kind of economy.
Xiushan County is the most economically backward county in Haitong City, but it is also a major fruit-growing county in the city.
"Mayor, the passion fruit and mango planting areas here are the largest!" Xie Changping introduced.
"Okay, let's go to the largest passion fruit plantation."
In the park.
The county party committee secretary and county magistrate here, as well as the owner of this plantation, were here early waiting for Qin Yi's arrival.
After some inspection, Qin Yi discovered that the passion fruit cultivation here is indeed very good!
In the next few days, Qin Yi will go to a town to inspect almost every day.
But on the fourth day.
It's pouring rain!
The convoy drove slowly on the muddy road.
In the car, Xie Changping sighed: "It's going to rain in the next week, so it won't be light!"
“I didn’t expect there would be such a long rainy season in October.”
Fortunately, in the afternoon, although there were still dark clouds in the sky, the rain had stopped for the time being.
"I didn't expect that there are many bosses in this town who have contracted land to plant a large number of sugar oranges!" Qin Yi said with emotion as he looked at the fruit groves filled with bright yellow sugar oranges.
"Hey, why are there so many sugar oranges falling on the ground?" Qin Yi looked at the ground in the orchard. There were many sugar oranges falling on the ground.
"Hey, one is pests and the other is rain! October is the season when sugar oranges are ripe. Heavy rains at this time will still cause some fruits to fall to the ground! There will be heavy rains in the next week. I guess they will fall by then. There will be more on the ground! And the rainy season will also make sugar oranges unsaleable! After all, if there is too much rain, the sweetness of sugar oranges will decrease, and they will easily break on the trees!" Xie Tianping shook his head.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Yi suddenly had an idea from his previous life: live streaming to help farmers?
