In less than 20 days, the problem of selling 40,000 kilograms of sorghum seeds in Chaoyang Village, Bashan Town, Zhongxian County was solved.
This year, in order to further develop and expand the village's collective economic industry, Chaoyang Village specially planted 150 acres of red tassel glutinous sorghum and harvested 40,000 kilograms of sorghum seeds.
In September, we harvest the sorghum and dry the seeds in the traditional drying method to ensure that the grains are full and the color is bright. General Wu, secretary of the party branch of Chaoyang Village, said that the sorghum planted was harvested, and everyone was full of joy, thinking that it could increase an income for the village collective economy, but I didn't expect the sorghum seeds to mature and harvest late, coupled with the changes in the market, the rapid **, if we sell according to the market, we can't even keep the cost of planting sorghum, let alone the income. ”
In order to develop this collective economic industry in the village, General Wu and several village cadres got up early and worked late to organize the villagers to prepare the land, raise seedlings, transplant the plant, and manage and protect the village. During the harvest and drying period, General Wu did not even return home, and set up a simple bed in the dam for several nights to deal with it.
You can't just do it for nothing this year, right?After some thought, General Wu thought that sorghum seeds could not be stored for a long time, and if they were made into wine, the shelf life would be greatly extended.
He also considered that instead of selling sorghum seeds to private individuals and small workshops to make wine, it would be better for the village collective to directly contact the winery for processing, and then sell it at a reasonable price. This method has also been recognized by other village cadres.
Beginning in November, General Wu and several village cadres inspected a number of local wineries. Through the comparison of technology and other aspects, the village committee finally selected the Zhongxian Xiaodong Liquor Brewing and Business Department in Renhe Village, Shuanggui Town, and the Zhaoyin Distillery in Zhongxian Xinli Town, Guihua Village, Xinli Town.
General Wu told the upstream news reporter, "After the first batch of wine was brewed, everyone felt that the taste was soft and the wine was rich, and the winery also praised the sorghum we grew with full grains and uniform size." ”
Naturally, high-quality sorghum wine has also been recognized by the market. "It's the peak season for winemaking, and our sorghum wine is almost sold out. In addition to the villagers, General Wu also attracted customers from surrounding towns and even the main city of Chongqing and outside the city to order through WeChat Moments.
According to General Wu, at present, most of the sorghum seeds in the village's inventory have been made into liquor, with sales of more than 300,000 yuan.
The sorghum seeds stored in the whole village are also planned to be made into liquor for sale in the next step. General Wu calculated an account: according to last year's sorghum seed market, the income was less than 300,000 yuan, and after all the wine was brewed, the income could reach 400,000 yuan, which was 100,000 yuan more.
General Wu said that the sorghum wine market has broad prospects, and the longer it is stored, the better, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. Next year, they plan to continue to increase the added value of sorghum through winemaking and promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary agricultural industries.
This year's sorghum market has not only affected Chaoyang Village, but General Wu's experience model has also quickly attracted surrounding towns to follow Xi.
Chaoyang Village has used the backlog of sorghum to 'brew' out of the village collective's way to increase income, which has really benefited the masses, and has proved in practice that agricultural products can also produce considerable benefits after simple processing. Xie Lihua, deputy mayor of Bashan Town, introduced that four other villages (communities) in Bashan Town, including Bade Village and Bayi Village, also joined the brewing team, achieving a total increase of more than 50 yuan. In the next step, Bashan Town will guide the village (community) to set up a sales company, register a trademark brand, accumulate liquor technology, and make the liquor industry a stable increase in income for the village collective.
