Inner Mongolia edible fungi cultivation yields new money-making tricks, a wealth-building expert shows his skills

Choosing a business project to get rich is not easy, and finding brand-new wealth-building techniques in a seemingly ordinary project is even harder.

In Zhalantun City, Inner Mongolia, there is just such a wealth-building expert. Through his own tinkering, he has turned the old project of edible fungi cultivation into new wealth-building tricks. What exactly makes his edible fungi cultivation cooperative so special that it can achieve a per capita annual income of 70,000 yuan?

Wild mountain products are in demand, a keen eye spots the business opportunity

As people's demand for food culture rises, pure natural wild mountain products are in demand, and their economic benefits are also constantly increasing.

Zhalantun City in Inner Mongolia has a forest coverage rate of 70%, and 20 kinds of mushrooms grow under the forest, with an annual output of nearly 2,000 tons.

Local farmers and out-of-town buyers spotted the business opportunity that mushrooms can make money, and began a one-stop service of picking, purchasing, processing, packaging and selling wild edible fungi. Farmers with foresight even took up edible fungi cultivation. Wang Bingcai is one of those who benefited from growing edible fungi.

Wang Bingcai is an ordinary farmer in the vegetable business cooperative of Zhalantun City. After seeing the broad prospects of the edible fungi market, he took the lead with 6 other cooperative members in growing birch mushrooms in the vegetable fields. Last year, the per capita net income reached 70,000 yuan, making him a wealth-building expert in the eyes of the members!

Walking the road to wealth on "two legs"!

The reason Wang Bingcai can grow ordinary mushrooms with such high returns comes down to his "two legs" approach: one leg is growing them himself, reducing the production cost of the fungus bags; the other is cleverly exploiting the time gap and choosing the right timing to go on the market!

Affected by climate factors, mushrooms in Zhalantun are concentrated on the market in autumn. Coupled with the peak season of greenhouse cultivation, 3-5 tons of mushrooms can be purchased in a day.

High output brings a big problem, however - if a sales channel cannot be found in time, the mushrooms will rot and spoil, causing huge economic losses.

Wang Bingcai's "second leg" then came into play - cleverly exploiting the time gap.

By cooperating with deep-processing enterprises for mushrooms, he raised the added value of the mushrooms, cleverly avoided the peak period when mushrooms are concentrated on the market, and lengthened the sales period of mushroom products. Not only was the sales channel for the mushrooms guaranteed, but they were also shielded from the impact of market price fluctuations.

Added value + deep processing = fuller pockets

In Wang Bingcai's mind, lengthening the mushroom sales period is not the most important goal; raising the added value is what brings higher returns.

In his agricultural products purchasing store, different kinds of deep-processed mushroom products are neatly arranged on the shelves.

The products are jointly produced by him and an edible fungi processing enterprise in Heilongjiang. Wang Bingcai provides the raw materials, the processing plant handles the processing into finished products, and then they are sold back.

Although these products are not large in size and their packaging is not as refined as that of well-known enterprises, they have a large market in Zhalantun City and the surrounding areas.

From seasoning products of concentrated essence soup to canned mushroom paste, the market has opened up, sales have soared accordingly, and the wealth the common people gain is growing higher and higher!

The profits of processed products, far higher than those of selling raw materials, gave Wang Bingcai hope. At present, he is setting out to establish an edible fungi processing plant, and has already inquired about relevant information from the local entrepreneurship guidance center, the youth entrepreneurship park, financial institutions and other places, hoping to get the processing plant up and running with the help of relevant government departments and realize an even bigger dream of wealth.
