Originally, all agricultural products produced on the farm, whether vegetables, fruits, or cash crops such as grain, were packaged directly and shipped directly to inland and coastal provinces through green logistics channels. It's just that the tourists came to inquire about the purchase and had a strong desire to buy. In addition, coupled with the request from the local people in Tiemen, they believed that this move could boost the local economy and consumption in Tiemen.
So we thought about it again and again, and finally decided to open a window to provide direct purchase for these tourists.
In fact, the price sold at this window is much higher than the price we supply. It does not bring any losses to the farm, but brings a good income. "
After Zhong Xiaoling finished speaking, Du Xiuming also said: "Our smart unmanned farm project is itself a public welfare project to promote local economic development.
I think this is also a good way to attract more tourists to visit and promote local economic development.
Therefore, we retained this project and communicated with the local people to form a formal tourism project.
As for Tiemen, after tasting the benefits, it also gave us many conveniences.
Including our third and fourth phases of construction land, the approval was very happy. "
Wu Hao, Xu Xiaoya, and Yang Fan all nodded when they heard this. This is what is called giving me a peach and repaying it with a penny. To put it simply, this is mutual benefit and win-win results.
Seeing the smiles on Wu Hao's and others' faces, Du Xiuming immediately took over Zhong Xiaoling's words and continued to introduce to everyone: "Since we started the intelligent unmanned farm construction project here, our Shale Farm has developed rapidly. It has developed very well in the past few years.
Currently, our third and fourth phase farm expansion projects have been completed, and the fifth phase expansion project is already under study and planning.
Among them, the first and second phases of the farm have 1,500 hectares of various types of land. The third phase of the farm expansion project has increased by approximately 2,000 hectares, while the fourth phase of the farm expansion project has increased by 3,000 hectares at once.
So currently, our farm has a total of more than 6,500 hectares of land, which translates into about 100,000 acres of land.
These lands are divided into multiple areas for growing different crops. Some specialize in growing fruits and vegetables, some specialize in growing grain, and some specialize in growing cash crops and pasture forage.
At present, these vegetables, fruits, and grains have been transported to supermarkets and other sales outlets in coastal provinces through our green agricultural product logistics channels, and sold through official authorized stores and fresh food channels of ali's shopping platform.
As for cash crops, the main ones are sugar beet and cotton, as well as peppers and tomatoes.
These cash crops are directly processed and produced by factories set up in Tiemen, and then sold across the country and even around the world. "
Zhong Xiaoling on the side also took over Du Xiuming's words and introduced them to them.
“This beet is mainly used for sugar extraction, and the cotton we grow is high-quality long-staple cotton, which is mainly used for textiles and partly for export.
As for chili, it is used for the extraction of capsaicin and capsanthin. As we all know, paprika is a high-quality red natural dye, and the lipstick dye used by our girls comes from it.
We have reached agreements with famous domestic and international cosmetics companies to exclusively supply them with high-quality capsicum red dye.
As for this tomato, it is the tomato sauce and tomato sauce that everyone prefers. It can be said that 80 to 90 percent of the world’s tomato sauce comes from Western Xinjiang.
The tomatoes we grow using pollution-free technology and the tomato paste produced under strict hygienic standards have won the trust of European and American manufacturers. Basically, 80% of the shipments are exported overseas. Twenty percent has been digested domestically.
However, judging from the feedback we received from retailers, our products are also recognized and loved by our domestic people, and we are now asking to increase production. "
Hearing Zhong Xiaoling's words, Xu Xiaoya nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, indeed, many retailers have reported to us to increase supply.
Not only that, the vegetables and fruits produced on our farm are also particularly popular. Things like watermelons, melons, tomatoes, etc., as well as the wheat, rice, corn produced here, and our focus on sunflower oil, are all very popular among the people.
One of the purposes of my visit this time is to discuss with you and see if we can continue to increase production.
This is a very huge market, and our output alone is far from meeting the market demand.
Especially in recent years, as people's living standards continue to improve, people continue to pay attention to health and wellness.
These green, pollution-free vegetables have also become everyone’s new favorite.
As for the vegetables we supply, there is no problem at the source. People can see the growth of vegetables here at any time through the Internet, so we have gained the trust of the people.
Our large-scale, intelligent and unmanned planting operation also reduces production costs. Therefore, when these green and pollution-free vegetables are in the hands of retailers, their prices only increase by 50 to 80% compared to ordinary vegetables, which is still very competitive in the market.
To be honest, now I, including many people around me, are loyal consumers of vegetables, fruits, grain and oil products.
Even when I encounter some hard-to-buy items, these people will call me and ask me to go through the back door. "
Ha ha ha ha……
After hearing Xu Xiaoya's words, everyone laughed.
Wu Hao also smiled and nodded: "It's really good. It's green. I won't talk about safety. What everyone likes is the taste. This place in Western Xinjiang is arid, with longer sunshine hours and a large temperature difference between day and night. Plus We don’t use too many pesticides and fertilizers, so these vegetables and fruits taste very good, which is much better than those grown in greenhouses.”
That's right. Xu Xiaoya nodded: "Logically speaking, our retail prices of vegetables, fruits, grains and oils actually have room for price reduction, and we originally planned to lower them a bit.
In this way, on the one hand, more people can enjoy healthy, safe, green and high-quality agricultural products. On the other hand, we can also use this to expand market share.
However, after visiting the relevant departments, we gave up the idea and deliberately raised the retail prices of these vegetables, fruits, grain and oil products.
This move is also to prevent our vegetables, fruits, grain and oil products from entering the market in large quantities, which will have a huge impact on the market. "
