It's the right time to invest in grass industry development

Introduction: the large-scale ecological construction focusing on returning farmland to forest and grass has brought historic opportunities for the development of China's grass industry Experts predict that the development of grass industry will become a new investment hotspot in the future and expect to obtain rich returns According to the Department of agriculture of Shaanxi Province, the western part of China, especially the Loess Plateau, is suitable for alfalfa and other high-quality forage At present, the area of grassland in the West accounts for 3 / 5 of the total area of grassland in China However, most of the grassland has not been fully utilized, and the degradation is serious, which needs to be controlled According to the ecological construction plan announced by each region, in the next ten years, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and western Xinjiang will return more than 4 million hectares of arable land for grassland construction In addition, a large area of grass planting will be carried out in barren mountains, with over 2.8 million hectares planned to be planted in Qinghai and Shaanxi provinces alone It is understood that the western provinces and regions have given support to the development of forage as an important industry, and formulated preferential policies to encourage enterprises and individuals to engage in ecological management and comprehensive agricultural development such as returning farmland to grass cultivation by contracting, leasing, etc In addition, according to relevant materials, at present, the price of alfalfa hay in the international market is between 200 US dollars and 250 US dollars per ton, and the annual demand of global market is 5 million tons, while Asia is the largest alfalfa import market, with the demand of 4 million tons, and the annual import volume of Japan and South Korea alone is 2 million tons Compared with other large grass production countries, China has both low labor cost and geographical advantages In terms of domestic demand, the total annual forage demand is about 10 million tons, but the production capacity is only 2 million tons With the development of livestock and poultry industry, the gap between supply and demand will increase by an average of 10% in the future It is understood that in the Loess Plateau area, it can yield 60000 kg fresh grass to plant alfalfa per hectare According to the current market price, the output value is nearly 7000 yuan, and its economic benefit is twice that of planting grain crops Yan'an City, located in the Loess Plateau of Northern Shaanxi Province, has planned to build 670000 hectares of artificial grassland, which will form a large industry with an annual income of 8 billion yuan and increase the per capita income of local farmers by 300 yuan The development of grassland can also promote the development of animal husbandry At present, there are two large domestic leading enterprises participating in the grass industry development, namely, Inner Mongolia grassland Xingfa group and Zhejiang Hengdian group Hengdian group set foot in the grass industry development in 1998 At present, it has established 30000 hectares of grass bases in Xinjiang and other places, and plans to achieve an output value of 2 billion yuan in 2005 Grassland Xingfa group is mainly engaged in grassland animal husbandry At present, there is not a large-scale leading enterprise mainly engaged in hay management and feed processing in the whole northwest region, which has great potential to invest in grass industry development According to Liu Shijie, general manager of Xi'an Xingchang animal husbandry industry and Commerce Co., Ltd., which has been involved in grass industry development earlier, Xingchang company has established a grass powder production line with an annual production capacity of 40000 tons and an annual output value of nearly 50 million yuan (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
