Loach farming makes a young man from Rongxian, Sichuan rich

Recently, at the loach farming base in Group 4 of Shisun Village, Changshan Town, a reporter saw Tang Shengli, head of the farming base, feeding the loaches, and swarms of loaches kept surfacing to compete for the food. According to Tang Shengli, what is being raised in the pond is the Taiwan loach he introduced last year.

It is understood that because last year the group invested more than 2 million yuan in agricultural comprehensive project funds, small fields were converted into large fields, convenience roads were built, and field ridges were renovated, greatly improving the infrastructure conditions. "With the support of national projects, infrastructure investment has been reduced, and the fields are relatively large, which is very suitable for loach farming. In April this year, at a transfer price of 600 jin of rice per mu, I transferred 70 mu of fields from the villagers, established the Xinlilai Aquatic Products Family Farm, and built a modern comprehensive farm integrating loach hatching and seedling raising, seedling sales, loach farming, and loach sales."

Tang Shengli said: "He pays the villagers more than 50,000 yuan in transfer fees each year. The ordinary people have income, and he can also earn more than 300,000 yuan." According to reports, the Taiwan loach has the advantages of fast growth, high survival rate, few diseases, and not burrowing into mud, and it has lower fat than local loach, making it more popular with residents.

"At present, the loaches I raise are mainly sold to markets in Zigong, Chengdu, Leshan and other places, and the market is currently in short supply. At the same time, I also want to encourage the surrounding ordinary people to farm loaches, make the output bigger, strive to meet market demand, and drive more people to increase their income and get rich." Tang Shengli is full of confidence in future development.
