The Zalut Banner Wosha Tribal Planting Professional Cooperative Association is located in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, where the Zarut Banner Geri Chao Lu Su Mu Mu Tu Gacha, li Xili, chairman of the United Society, is a native of the Ge Ri Chao Lu Su Mu Mu Ha Tu Gacha. In 2018, Li Xili expanded his thinking, boldly explored, changed the traditional animal husbandry breeding method, and used the combination of planting and breeding to create a new development path.
"Before we raised sheep, it was traditional farming, that is, the members grazed their cattle in the mountains. At the beginning of the establishment of the cooperative, there were only 8 people, and the benefits at that time were very poor, and the income of one sheep was about 300 yuan. Now through scientific breeding, the net profit of a base ewe is more than 2,000 yuan. Li Xili said frankly.
"In the past, I earned 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year, but since I cooperated with the cooperative to raise sheep, my annual net income reached 200,000 yuan, and my life was very happy." Herdsman Li Jiming said happily. Since 2018, Li Xili has integrated local resources and implemented intensive operation in the form of shareholding cooperation. The Zarut Banner Wosa Tribal Planting Professional Cooperative Union is composed of grain planting professional cooperatives, medicinal material planting cooperatives, agricultural machinery cooperatives, and meat and sheep breeding professional cooperatives, and its members have grown from the initial 8 people to more than 600 people now.
The whole industry chain development model of "united society + branch + farmers and herdsmen + agricultural technology training + e-commerce" integrates cooperative breeding of meat and sheep, provision of forage feed, recycling of lamb fattening, processing of mutton products and sales, breaking the extensive business model of "herding sheep up the mountain and relying on the sky to eat". "Guaranteed bottom + profit dividend" truly realizes profit sharing and risk sharing. Farmers and herdsmen have the right to land management into the joint venture, and each person can receive a fixed dividend of 400 yuan per mu for watered fields, and a fixed dividend of 100-300 yuan for dryland at a qualitative price.
