Chapter 173 Ling Yinong's Anxiety

"Yes, Agaricus bisporus is an industry, but the price shouldn't be like this. We also have mushroom growers in Hu Jian, and the price is much higher than this. The price per catty is at least two yuan."

Ling Yinong said anxiously that he felt that if the price could not be raised, not only Yuquanying would suffer losses, but also Agaricus bisporus growers in other parts of the country would be implicated.

"Professor Ling, don't worry, calm down, there must be a solution to the matter, but it's not the time yet."

"Is there any way? If you don't increase the purchase price, you can't let the mushroom farmers lose like this?"

Ling Yinong looked at Zhao Shucheng in front of him, waiting for Zhao Shucheng to give him a reasonable explanation.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party and said, "I know, but the Agaricus bisporus industry is still very imperfect. I told you before that the output of this thing is very large, and the market is very small."

"At that time, I wanted you to open up external sales channels, so that we could sell no matter how many Agaricus bisporus. But the current situation is that the surrounding cities have long been saturated, and many counties are still promoting the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus in the countryside."

"It's not that other people can't grow Agaricus bisporus, but the surrounding markets can't take over more mushrooms now. If they can't find a new way out, then the mushroom growers' mushrooms will be in their hands."

"The industry of Agaricus bisporus is not only the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus, but also sales, transportation and processing. However, it takes time for these industries to take shape. It cannot be said that you violate the laws of nature and let one person spend money to do this. Only the whole The healthy operation of the industry, so that we can move on for a long time. The current situation is that the supply exceeds the demand. At present, it is difficult to eat such a large number of mushrooms around Yinchuan. .”

"In the current situation, there are only two ways to increase the price of mushrooms first. That is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Ling Yinong asked curiously: "How about open source? How about reducing expenditure?"

"The meaning of open source is very simple, that is to continuously develop the market, to sell our Agaricus bisporus, not only in Ningxia, but also to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and even economically developed coastal areas. Let these Agaricus bisporus To be able to enter new markets, but only to provide raw materials for Agaricus bisporus, such open source is far from enough.”

"So this requires the second open source method, which is the reprocessing of Agaricus bisporus. Because only reprocessed mushrooms can be stored for a longer period of time, and the price of mushrooms can be maintained. There are many operations in this area, such as sliced ​​and dried , processing canned food, etc. But all of this has a premise, before there is no new sales channel, the scale of mushroom cultivation here cannot continue to expand. Uh, what I just said, professor, can you understand why?"

Ling Yinong thought for a while and understood what Zhao Shucheng meant. Before there were new sales channels, if the scale of Agaricus bisporus continued to expand, it would be difficult to maintain the current price, let alone increase the price.

"The second is to reduce expenditure. Everyone knows what to do. It is to reduce the number of people who grow mushrooms. As long as the number of mushrooms is controlled, the rarest is the most expensive. This is the same in all industries, and the price will definitely rise by then. .Besides, there are many people who grow mushrooms now, but there are good and bad among them. There are both good and bad.”

"Let's not talk about others, let's just say that in our village, the mushrooms grown by Li Dayou are the best, and Uncle Wu's is a bit worse. I don't think everyone can grow mushrooms well. Some people are talented in farming. , Some people are talented in breeding. Take Uncle Wu, his chickens grow faster than other people's, and the same is true for earthworms."

"So my idea is to let some people who are not suitable for growing mushrooms go to other jobs, even let them work in processing factories, so that when the time comes, all the mushrooms in Yuquanying will be of good quality, and the price will definitely be higher than that of mushrooms." The price of mushrooms in other places is higher. It can also promote more people to buy mushrooms and expand new markets, instead of shrinking the market because of the unevenness of good and bad.”

Ling Yinong thought about it for a while, and he didn't want to take over this method.

"No, do you know what this means? It means that one-third or even half of the people in Yuquanying, and even in the surrounding counties and cities, will give up growing Agaricus bisporus, but they have already borrowed money to build greenhouses. We cannot bear such debts. What’s more, if they tear down the greenhouses for growing mushrooms and turn to business negotiations, then our promotion of Agaricus bisporus farming will be ruined.”

"Professor Ling, the situation will not be so pessimistic. For those who borrowed to grow mushrooms, growing mushrooms is the only way for them to repay the loan, so they will definitely take it seriously. If you don't want more people to quit, you can What we do is to let those technicians guide them well so that they can grow good-looking mushrooms instead of failing in the end.”

"But let me tell the truth, Professor Ling, mushroom farming is helpful for poverty alleviation in the short term, but in the long run, unless it is large-scale farming, it will not help much."

Ling Yinong had a different opinion, and said unconvinced: "There is nothing in your guess. Even if it is calculated according to one yuan, the villagers still have income. How can you say that it is not very helpful?"

Zhao Shucheng had long thought that he would say this, and showed him the report he had prepared long ago.

"Since the reform and opening up, the country's economic level has been rising, especially the per capita disposable income. Not to mention other places, just in Yinchuan City, the per capita salary has doubled from the previous 30 yuan to the current 800 yuan. Twenty times. Even if it won’t change very quickly in the future, but after twenty years, it’s possible to double it by three or five times, right?”

Ling Yinong thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Shucheng's calculation.

Zhao Shucheng continued: "Okay, then based on the per capita salary of 2000 yuan per month, how much does it take to grow mushrooms to reach this level? Mushrooms can be planted twice a year, and the picking period is two months each time. The output of the shed is about 4800-8000 catties. If poverty is really lifted, the price of mushrooms needs to be six yuan per catty. But Professor Ling, do you think this is possible?"

"This creates a problem. Mushroom poverty alleviation can only alleviate part of the gap. What about the remaining gap? We can only allow farmers to build larger greenhouses, but this creates a problem, that is, more mushrooms are produced, and the price will drop. Will it be lower?"

"So simply growing mushrooms can only help some people in poverty, and it is impossible for everyone to rely on this method to get rid of poverty. Therefore, we have to find a way to attract other people from growing mushrooms. Mushroom processing plants are one way, and there are other ways. There are related supporting factories, printing factories, packaging factories, and even transportation companies, etc.”

"Now mushroom farmers can rely on growing mushrooms to get out of poverty temporarily, but what is more important is how to prevent them from returning to poverty after they get out of poverty."

Shuihua has been listening to Zhao Shucheng since he started talking, and feels that Zhao Shucheng's ideas are really ahead of his time, and his eyes start to shine.

Ling Yinong was also thinking about what Zhao Shucheng said. Although he wanted to say that his mushrooms could cost six yuan, he also knew that this was unrealistic.Because if this price is reached, I am afraid that the people who raise mushrooms are not only the farmers around Xihaigu, but farmers in other places will also raise mushrooms, so the price will definitely be lowered.

"The reason why I built the processing plant is to solve the problem of too many mushrooms and concentrated market. Only after deep processing can the mushrooms be sold at a high price, and it will also prevent too many fresh mushrooms on the market, and the price will not be controlled by others." .”

"I will definitely not be able to save money. This is something the court considers. But it will increase the requirements for the purchase of Agaricus bisporus. Those crooked melons and bad dates must not be bought. This can be regarded as a lesson for the mushroom farmers. Those who are not suitable for them will be Will gradually withdraw from this market. But this matter must be a long-term process. During this period, Professor Ling, you need to study other poverty alleviation methods, such as shiitake mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, morel mushrooms, Agaricus blazei, Helanshan purple mushrooms, etc. The breeding problem of species, so that everyone does not have to focus on the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus."

"Only when the products are enriched and there are all kinds of fungi, the price will go up, and there will be no scenes of concentration. Besides, Professor Ling, you are not studying the fungus of windbreak and sand fixation. In fact, you can also study the parasitism of plants. question."

"Well, I know a medicine in the desert called Cistanche. This is a parasitic plant that lives under the Haloxylon tree in the desert. This thing is known as desert ginseng, so the price is very high. If this thing can be compared with your fungus If the grass becomes a symbiotic relationship, then I think it means more."

"There are also many woody fungi that can grow in windbreak forests. For example, chaga, matsutake, matsutake, matsutake, pine fungus, etc. This will not only help windbreak and sand fixation, but also have economic benefits. More people are investing in afforestation.”

Ling Yinong didn't expect that instead of persuading Zhao Shucheng, he was fooled into researching woody fungus.

"Of course, Professor Ling, I know you don't have the heart to study these things now, so what you can do now is to help the villagers expand their sales, especially the sales outside the province. We are all ordinary people, and other people will not listen to us at all. But you are very familiar with Director Wu, you can raise this issue with him, maybe they can help us solve this problem."

"As for me, when my cold storage is fully stocked, the processing plant can start construction, and I will definitely be able to digest a lot of Agaricus bisporus, but the sales of fresh mushrooms can only be done by you."

Ling Yinong sighed, and said: "Well, it seems that I was too anxious. You are right, I don't know anything about market experience and sales, so I take it for granted."

"However, I really didn't expect the output of Agaricus bisporus to be so large after the promotion. The current output is rich enough for every person in Haiji County. It is indeed a bit oversupply. I will contact Director Wu to solve the sales problem of Agaricus bisporus .”
