Hard work can bring prosperity, and poverty alleviation provides help

How can rural areas prosper? Have fewer children and plant more trees

With so many paths to prosperity, why is poverty alleviation in rural areas still such a big challenge today?

As farmers in the new era of the 21st century, how can we achieve prosperity and move toward a moderately prosperous life? Below, the editor offers his own views.

1. Change the sales model

What sales model should be adopted? Of course, it is "Internet + agriculture," doing direct online sales of agricultural products and developing agricultural e-commerce.

Why can't the vegetables you grow be sold, and why is the price so low even when they can be sold? It is because your sales model is wrong. The current model is that growers sell vegetables to vegetable dealers, who then directly wholesale them to vegetable vendors or send them to supermarkets before they can reach consumers, requiring at least three rounds of middlemen. The profits are all taken by the middlemen.

Rather than being exploited by others, it is better to run the business yourself. Moreover, the state is vigorously developing and supporting direct sales of agricultural products. How can the Internet be used to sell agricultural products?

Use platforms

Platforms are very important for development. The editor will not go into detail about which specific platforms to look for. There are now a large number of agricultural product trading websites, and farmers can register on them themselves and sell their products on agricultural product trading platforms.

Everyone uses Toutiao, WeChat, and QQ, so why not sell your products through these channels? If farmers cannot operate them themselves, there is always someone who can.

2. Standardized planting

Changing only the sales model and channels is far from enough. In the planting process, standardized planting must be adopted and your own brand must be built.

For vegetables, what is a standard? Pollution-free vegetables?

This standard is too low. If you are going to grow vegetables, grow green vegetables. Nowadays everyone pays attention to health preservation, and truly green vegetables are very popular with consumers. The price is also very high.

Standardized agricultural production cannot rely only on what you say. During the planting process, video images and other means can be used to record the production process, providing a basis for building your own brand.

Conclusion: Farmers getting rich is actually very simple: grow high-standard crops and change traditional sales channels.
