Take advantage of the advantageous conditions to develop the cultivation of black fungus industry and drive the employment of the masses at their doorsteps, open up sales channels through e-commerce live broadcast, help villagers generate income and get rich, study science and technology, promote the upgrading of the industrial chain, and build a modern production line......
In recent years, Wangqing County, Jilin Province has adhered to the black fungus industry as the leading industry for the county's economic development and farmers' prosperity, and has gradually formed a whole industry chain development model integrating strain research and development, fungus bag production, base construction, product processing, equipment manufacturing, marketing, and recycling of waste fungus bags.
Wangqing County actively guides poverty alleviation households to develop industries, and continues to promote agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. At present, the total annual cultivation of black fungus in the county is basically stable at 650 million bags, and the output reaches 35,000 tons.
Stabilize employment, and people who have been lifted out of poverty can go to work at their doorsteps
Early in the morning, Yan Cuilian, a villager from Tianhe Village, Tianqiaoling Town, took a shuttle bus from her home to work in the Taoyuan Small Fungus Base Industrial Park, which is about a kilometer away.
Yan Cuilian is a poverty alleviation household and a good worker. "You can work at the door of your home, and you can eat and drink when you pick up the car. In the production workshop, Yan Cuilian was busy putting bacteria in the fungus bag.
"In the past, my family's income depended solely on farming. It is a mountainous area, with little arable land, and there is not much income throughout the year. Recalling the past days, Yan Cuilian shook her head.
Wangqing is located in the Changbai Mountains, and the reality and special landform of "eight mountains, one water, half grass and half fields" have restricted the large-scale planting of corn, rice and other crops. The reckless dense forest is not suitable for growing grain in a large area, but the unique geographical environment is suitable for the cultivation of "native products", so Wangqing County takes advantage of the large temperature difference between day and night, humid air, high forest coverage rate and other conditions suitable for the growth of black fungus, vigorously develops the black fungus industry, and helps the masses increase their income.
At present, Wangqing County has a total of 6 black fungus professional towns and 121 planting villages, of which 65 are planting villages with more than one million bags, and more than 60% of the villages take black fungus as the leading industry. The number of black fungus growers in the county has reached 14,000, and more than 30,000 people are engaged in fungus-related industries, accounting for more than half of the county's agricultural population with labor ability, and a total of 70 standardized fungus packaging factories and workshops have been built.
In Tianqiaoling Town, there are many people who have been lifted out of poverty like Yan Cuilian who are employed at their doorsteps. "Through the development of the black fungus industry, it can drive poverty alleviation households and villagers to work, continue to increase income and get rich, and promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. Tang Datao, director of the county special industry development service center, said that the county is now actively promoting the development of the black fungus industry, on the one hand, helping key enterprises, coordinating and solving poverty alleviation households, villager jobs, on the other hand, guiding villagers to plant black fungus scientifically and reasonably, strictly controlling the quality and broadening the market.
Promote revenue growth, and e-commerce sales drive sustainable development
Early in the morning, Yang Guang, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Manhe Village, Dongguang Town, trotted to the fungus greenhouse next to the road. "Now is the critical period for fungus bag inoculation, and the temperature must be strictly controlled, otherwise the quality and yield will be affected. Yang Guang has to run into the shed seven or eight times a day to take care of the black fungus in the fungus bag.
Industrial revitalization is the top priority of comprehensive rural revitalization. For poverty alleviation areas, it is not only necessary to develop advantageous and characteristic industries according to local conditions, but also to achieve sustainable industrial development. Aiming at the future, Manhe Village will take e-commerce as the development direction of the local fungus industry. "In 2023, the sales revenue of e-commerce in our village will reach 4 million yuan. Talking about the e-commerce industry in the village, Yang Guang is very proud.
Manhe Village's e-commerce journey has not been easy. In 2018, the first online store was opened in the village, and the sales were not satisfactory. Later, with the help of the local government, the store slowly improved. After seeing that the income of agricultural products such as fungus, honey and rice in the village was higher than that of foreign traders, the villagers joined in one after another, and the e-commerce industry in the village was on the right track through e-commerce to generate and increase income.
Today, Manhe Village is a well-known local e-commerce village, and the range of products sold through e-commerce live streaming has expanded from the village to the whole county, and the "Manhe Xian" brand was created in 2021. The e-commerce industry is getting bigger and bigger, and it has also brought more jobs to the village.
Not far from the fungus greenhouse, it is the home of Wang Yichun, a poverty alleviation household in Manhe Village. Push the door into the house, the 60-square-meter house is clean and bright, and the longevity flowers and begonia flowers by the window are blooming brightly.
"I couldn't have imagined my current life. Wang Yichun said that in the past, he and his wife used farming as their main source of income, and they had to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to sell during the slack season, and their lives were tight. "After a year of farming, I can earn more than 5,000 yuan when I am full, and it is even more impossible to pick wild vegetables. ”
The booming e-commerce live broadcast in Manhe Village has effectively driven the development of the fungus industry in the village. Today, Wang Yichun works in the village's mushroom bag processing factory. "In the factory, I help to load fungus bags and pick fungus, and after a year, my salary can be more than 10,000 yuan. Wang Yichun said happily.
In September last year, a new black fungus package processing workshop was built in Manhe Village. "Good quality fungus can be sold for up to 70 yuan a catty. More critically, it has brought jobs to six people in the village who have been lifted out of poverty. Yang Guang said, "It is expected that in July this year, a packaging workshop covering an area of 400 square meters will be built in the village, and the e-commerce industry in our village will extend upstream and downstream at the same time, it will bring more villagers jobs at their doorstep." ”
Seek upgrading, and promote science and technology to help extend the industrial chain
Walking into the production workshop of Taoyuan Small Fungus Industrial Co., Ltd., the automatic machinery and equipment roared, bag-making, sterilization, and cooling...... Bags of black fungus edible mushroom bags are transported along the conveyor belt to the domestic market.
Last year, the company's intelligent production line produced 28 million bags of fungus bags, and the products radiated to the whole county, while creating more than 1,000 local jobs. Sun Sen, deputy general manager of Taoyuan Small Fungus Industrial Co., Ltd., said that in recent years, the company has built a modern production line, customized automated machinery and equipment according to demand, and gradually embarked on the fast track.
On this basis, starting from 2023, Taoyuan Small Fungus Industrial Co., Ltd. will also extend its business scope to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and build a high-quality three-dimensional cultivation training base for black fungus. "We provided 75 greenhouses for free and provided free technical guidance to drive local villagers to plant fungus. It can not only drive the local people to increase their income and get rich, but also solve the sales of fungus bags, and also improve the overall quality and reputation of fungus. Sun Sen said.
The quality and upgrading of the black fungus industry is inseparable from the help of science and technology. In October 2022, the Wangqing Black Fungus Science and Technology Institute was officially established, focusing on the research and promotion of the development, cultivation technology and breeding technology of black fungus wild resources in Changbai Mountain. "After the establishment of the Science and Technology Academy, teachers and graduate students have been stationed in the production line for many years, focusing on the breeding of new varieties of black fungus, improving the intelligent and standardized cultivation and production technology of black fungus, and striving to develop a full set of black fungus production technology suitable for the local area of Wangqing. Liu Di, associate professor of Yanbian University and chief expert of the Science and Technology Academy, introduced.
Today, Wangqing County has implemented the "one-stop" fungus bag production model of bag-making, sterilization, inoculation and fungus cultivation in the main areas of black fungus planting, forming an ecological recycling industrial chain integrating R&D, production, sales, processing and waste treatment, and gradually promoting the transformation from "farmer production fungus bag + cultivation and management" to "fungus bag factory production fungus bag + farmer cultivation and management", so as to reduce the rate of miscellaneous bacteria in the fungus bag and ensure product quality.
"Wangqing County will further implement the action of improving the quality and efficiency of the black fungus industry integrating strain research and development, brand promotion and product processing, do a good job in local products, leave more benefits to farmers in the countryside, and continue to promote agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. Chen Naiyang, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Wangqing County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said.
