On November 17, a media interview tour of provincial-level modern agricultural demonstration bases organized by the Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture visited the Sanjiang Haofujiang wax apple demonstration base in Meilan District, Haikou, and the Yunlong Jindefeng wax apple demonstration base in Qiongshan District for inspection.
It is reported that Hainan Jindefeng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., as a Taiwan-funded enterprise, has been rooted in Hainan for many years. Its planting base for the new variety "China Red" wax apple, developed in cooperation with Pingtung University of Agriculture in Taiwan, China, is located in Yunlong Town, becoming a model of successful agricultural cooperation between Qiongshan and Taiwan, China. Hainan Jindefeng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. should do a good job in large-scale planting and promotion, grow bigger and stronger, and use the national "Belt and Road" strategy to sell Hainan tropical fruits to Singapore and other parts of the world, contributing to building the Hainan brand and increasing farmers' incomes.
The Sanjiang Haofujiang wax apple demonstration base is located at Chongpo Ridge, Daoxue Villagers' Committee, Sanjiang Town, Meilan District, Haikou. It was invested in and developed by Hainan Yuchanglong Industrial Co., Ltd. in April 2006, with cumulative total investment reaching 120 million yuan and a total base area of 1000 mu. In 2015, the Sanjiang Haofujiang wax apple base used the "company + farmers model" to help surrounding poor farmers plant more than 1500 mu of wax apples. Based on its field agricultural technology training center, it has held 5 training sessions, training more than 360 person-times in total.
Jindefeng Company mainly deals in the "Black Diamond" and "China Red" series of wax apples, tropical fruit varieties from Taiwan, China. "Planting, production and sales in one integrated chain" is the company's business philosophy, and its sales philosophy is "be first and be fresh." The company introduced seedlings from Taiwan, China, referred to Taiwan, China cultivation methods, adapted to Hainan's soil and climate, and created its own cultivation management technology model. It is the first large private enterprise to plant wax apples on a large scale. The wax apple base covers a total area of 920 mu, with an average annual output of nearly 6 million jin and an annual output value of over 100 million yuan.
Jindefeng Company follows the principles of intensive and scientific management and has an office, finance department, marketing department and technology department. It has several senior and intermediate technical personnel, a number of junior personnel, as many as 186 seasonal temporary workers, and 85 students in school-enterprise cooperation practical training. To strengthen the company's industrialization service capacity, it implements "five unifications" services for all employees and farmers: unified training, unified technical standards, unified supply of agricultural materials, unified brand certification, and unified organization of production and sales. The company implements the business model of "leading enterprise + professional cooperative + specialized household + farmer + market," has signed purchase and sales contracts with most farmers, and has helped farmers increase annual income by more than 50,000 yuan per person.
As a base representing Hainan's most distinctive star-brand fruit, the Yunlong Jindefeng wax apple base has trained nearly 800 students and interns from Hainan Agricultural School. More than 650 households have cooperated or plan to cooperate with the company to newly plant or renew the "China Red variety," and about more than 1000 households have been supported with farmers' planting technology, playing a good demonstration and leading role in the planting and promotion of "China Red" wax apples.
At the inspection meeting, Chen Shijing, field manager of the Sanjiang Haofujiang wax apple base, said that since Yuchanglong Industrial Co., Ltd. entered in 2006, it introduced advanced technology and seedlings and began planting wax apples. Over the years, while introducing advanced technology, the company has continuously innovated on the one hand and adopted a scientific management model on the other, achieving good results. In 2012, "Sanjiang Haofujiang wax apple" was also designated as the designated fruit for the Boao Forum for Asia.
"Surrounding villagers have all been actively motivated. The 'company + farmers' production model has not only opened a new path for local agricultural development and farmers' income growth, but also made the Sanjiang wax apple brand famous," Chen Shijing said. When villagers plant wax apples, they not only have a guaranteed minimum wage of more than 30,000 yuan per year, but also actual wages from fruit sales, which makes the whole village very motivated, and the quality of the wax apples is naturally guaranteed. At present, the wax apples produced at the base are mainly sold to cities such as "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou."
By increasing construction of the core wax apple planting area, Haikou's "two towns" will strengthen the demonstration and leading role of the core area, drive 10,000 mu of wax apple planting in Haikou and 100,000 mu in Hainan Province, form a wax apple industry with an annual output value of 10 billion yuan, and promote an increase of more than 1500 yuan in the annual per capita income of farmers across the province. The construction of the project plays an important role in upgrading and transforming Hainan's agricultural industry and promoting farmers' income growth. (Wang Yuan)
