2 1 century, the export price of quinoa in Bolivia and other countries soared seven times, and 90% was bought by developed countries. At present, the biggest consumers of quinoa are the United States and Canada, and the European market is backward. Japanese, Korean, Taiwan Province and other countries and regions also sell deep-processed products such as quinoa powder, and the international market sales of quinoa have reached tens of billions of dollars. In view of "this crop has unparalleled potential and plays an outstanding role in solving global food security and nutrition problems", on July 2, 20 1 1, the 37th session of the FAO adopted a resolution to declare 20 13 as the "International Year of Quinoa".
Quinoa has been introduced into China for more than 20 years. At first, it was planted in some places in Tibet, and the effect was not good. 20 1 1, Hao Lijun, the former head of Rupo Township, Jingle County, contacted Shanxi Qijia Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. and invited them to visit the township for trial planting. At that time, Qijia Company planted quinoa in Wuxiang, Hunyuan, Yanggao, Yuanping, Fan Shi, Jingle and other places in Shaanxi. The results showed that the yield and quality of quinoa planted in Jingle County were the highest.
After the success of regional trial planting, Jingle County Party Committee and county government decided to promote quinoa planting as an important starting point to adjust the agricultural industrial structure and promote farmers' income and wealth. In 20 12, it was first widely popularized in Shepo Township. Policy mechanisms such as seed subsidies and risk compensation have been implemented, giving growers a "reassurance"; Established 17 quinoa planting cooperatives and 1 processing plants; The development model of "company+association+cooperative+farmer+credit union" is planned. The cooperative signed a contract with Qijia Company, which provided technology, free training, follow-up guidance, guaranteed purchase and reserve price, and reached a small loan agreement with local credit cooperatives to solve the cost of purchasing rotary cultivators and seeders. Through the above measures, it provides a through-train service for the majority of growers before, during and after delivery.
In 20 12, 303 farmers in suopo township 17 village expanded their trial planting 1300 mu of quinoa, and the results were gratifying one year later. According to preliminary statistics, the total output of this 1300 mu of quinoa is 4 1. 1000 kg, with an average yield of 3 16 kg per mu. According to the contract price of 6 yuan signed by the cooperative and Qijia Company, the township's income from quinoa alone is more than 2.46 million yuan. Excluding the cost of 300 yuan per mu, the average net income of growers reached 6830 yuan.
Last year, Mao Cunlin, a villager in Yeshigou Village, Suopo Township, planted quinoa 18 mu with a yield of 478 kg per mu. A * * * planted more than 8,600 kilograms of quinoa, with a gross income of more than 50,000 yuan. Excluding costs, his net income is 46,000 yuan a year. Just by farming, the annual income can be close to 50 thousand, which Mao Cunlin never dreamed of. The highest yield per mu in the township is Zhang Huaitu in Manyan Village. After planting an acre, the yield reached 609.8 Jin. If the mu of forest is planted, the net income will exceed 60,000 yuan.
Jiang Manxiang, a villager in Dongyanwan Village, calculated an account: last year, he planted 2 mu of quinoa, with a yield of 1.076.5 kg and an income of 6,459 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of more than 10 mu of ordinary miscellaneous grains. Take flax and naked oats for example. In the past two years, flax can only be sold for 2.7-2.8 yuan per catty, which is about 1.5 yuan per catty, and the yield per mu is much lower than that of quinoa. The income of one mu of flax wool is around 500 yuan, and naked oats catch up with a good time. An acre of land in 400 yuan, the maximum income of planting 10 acre is 5000 yuan. "In this comparison, planting quinoa is like planting money!" Lao Jiang said with a smile: "The people are afraid of poverty and are timid. 20 1 1 No one dares to plant it. It was planted in autumn, and everyone regretted watching the people who planted it earn tickets. There are more people planting this year. I planned to plant more than ten acres, but my family was still afraid of insurance. They said they would try to plant some in the first year, but now they regret it. However, things are sold, money is in my pocket, and my heart is at ease. I want to do a big job this year! "
Zhang Bumei, secretary of the Party Committee of Wupo Township, said: "Quinoa has strict requirements for the growth environment. Wupo Township is located in the western foothills of the cloud, with a special geographical climate, especially in the Golden Mountain Scenic Area, where the ditch is deep and flat, the water source is sufficient, the light is sufficient, and the climate environment is more suitable for planting quinoa. 20 1 1 At the time of trial planting, even the township cadres had no idea, let alone whether the farmers would accept it. However, if you want to make a breakthrough in the agricultural industry, you have to take risks. At that time, I made up my mind that the village came forward to guarantee the farmers: if the planting was unsuccessful, the township government would pay. After selecting the right plot, we planted 20 mu first, from knowledge lectures to spring ploughing and sowing, from seed purchase to product recycling, and we followed it all the way. Finally succeeded, and everyone saw the benefits. In the second year, the people took the initiative to ask for planting, and many farmers applied. However, quinoa has strict requirements on natural conditions, so we dare not be careless, and we are still trying to plant it on a large scale in gullies and floodplains with plenty of water and sunshine. Facts have proved that such caution is right. In different plots with similar environment, some yield is high and some yield is low. We should continue to plant and explore. Nevertheless, on the whole, the quinoa planted in Sipo Township has reached the scale, produced benefits and is successful. Quinoa is gradually growing into the flagship brand of this township. "
Zhang Bumei also said with deep feelings: "It is not easy to support the growth of an industry. Li Dexin, secretary of the county party committee, and Zhang Wenbin, county magistrate, always pay attention to our quinoa planting, from planting scale to seedling growth. They often come down to inspect in their busy schedules, and every time they go directly to the fields to see; The money is used to buy seeds, and they coordinate to let credit cooperatives lend; There is no thresher in the autumn harvest, and the government paid for 20 sets; The processing site could not be implemented, so they personally ran down to the production and processing plant of 1400 square meters; In order to do a good job in marketing, the county registered the international and domestic top-level domain name of "Hometown of Quinoa in China" online in time. The support of the county has played a decisive role in the growth of this industry. "
Sun Jianqing, a big quinoa grower, told the story of growing quinoa himself. He said: "Last year, I planted 60 acres at a time, and I needed 20,000 yuan for seeds and fertilizers alone. This is not a small sum for me, so I applied for a small loan and the village association came forward to guarantee it. Even so, I am afraid of sowing. Fortunately, the government has never stopped serving behind us, and they often come uninvited to give guidance. Autumn harvest, and sent the threshing machine. Although my yield per mu didn't go up, I earned tens of thousands of dollars. This year, I plan to adjust the plot, scientifically plant it, and earn 10 million. "
In the quinoa processing plant, the reporter met Wu Xiangyun, the manager of Shaanxi Qijia Company. He said: "The quality of quinoa in Erpo Township is very good. Judging from the current domestic planting situation, according to the scale of Jingle, it can be called the hometown of quinoa in China. We are optimistic about the jingle market. First of all, the planting conditions here are excellent. More importantly, the county party Committee and the government attach great importance to and support us. Their determination and confidence have influenced us and moved us very much. From financing to equipment, from purchase and sale to processing, the county and the company are all a place to think, and a place to work hard will have today's achievements. "
Speaking of the prospect, Wu Xiangyun was full of confidence: "Quinoa is one of the world 10 nutritious foods specially recommended by FAO. At present, the international market price is about $0/0 per catty, while the domestic online shop price is 86 yuan per catty, so the market prospect is very broad. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the nutritional and health functions of quinoa will be understood by more and more people, which is definitely a sunrise industry. At present, our sales mainly rely on high-end hotels, celebrity clubs, raw material supply, specialty gift monopoly and online store sales. In terms of production scale, the county helped our company a lot last year, and solved the processing land of 1400 square meters. Now, the local processing capacity reaches 3000 tons. In June last year, representatives of General Mills made a special trip to inspect and initially reached a cooperation intention with us to provide technical and circulation support. "
20 13 jingle plans to implement the construction project of "the hometown of quinoa in China". The planned quinoa industrial park covers an area of 1.400 mu, with a total investment of 1 more than 100 million yuan. It integrates the acquisition, storage and transportation, research and development, processing and sales of quinoa, and its annual production and processing capacity has advanced to a large scale. At present, the county is planning the plot rationally according to the trial planting situation of each township. Focusing on the goal of achieving one mu of quinoa per capita within three years, it is planned to popularize planting more than 65438+10.00 million mu during the year. At the same time, actively expand the market, seek a higher level of quinoa product development projects, and strive to make the quinoa industry bigger and stronger, and truly make Jingle the hometown of quinoa in China.
