Chapter 149 International Market
28.7 million US dollars!
When Guo Yang first heard about it, he was also in a daze.
At this time, 1 US dollar is equivalent to 8.19 yuan, which is 235 million yuan!
This is just the first crop of grass!
Guo Yang recalled the development experience of Alfalfa over the years.
When improving saline-alkali land in 2002, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry invested about 200 million yuan in engineering fees, plus other expenses of about 30 million yuan that year, totaling 230 million yuan.
In 2003, when the price of diesel increased, the investment in preparation and construction of drip irrigation facilities, daily plant protection, and return of green manure to the fields was about 600 yuan per mu.
The second step is the construction of a pasture processing plant and the introduction of 2,000 dairy cows from Hutubi.
Above, approximately 200 million yuan was invested in 2003.
At the same time, because it was only the second year of improvement and ordinary alfalfa was planted, relying on the secondary forage compression technology, the sales revenue and sales costs were barely offset.
In the end, the loss in 2003 was about 200 million yuan.
In 2004, Alfalfa’s revenue reached 130 million.
Among them, the pasture revenue was 70 million yuan,
The second was 2 million kilograms of alfalfa No. 1 seeds. Thanks to the coordination of the Ministry of Agriculture, Jiahe obtained nearly one million acres of saline-alkali land in Wuyuan County in installments. Transfer of construction rights.
Two million kilograms of seeds were sold to saline-alkali land and medium-low-yield farmland reconstruction projects in various places at 30 yuan per kilogram.
Alfalfa No. 1 seed revenue was 60 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that most of the seed money was not returned.
In addition, dairy farms mainly focus on young cattle and calves, and their revenue is basically ignored.
The revenue of 130 million yuan in 2004 seemed okay, but there was also a lot of investment that year.
First of all, the drip irrigation facilities of 200,000 acres have been completely improved. The good irrigation conditions have also laid the foundation for high yields of pasture this year.
Secondly, two dairy companies in the province were acquired, and dairy farms were also continuously introduced and expanded.
Finally, a lot of new agricultural machinery and mechanical equipment were added, and all 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land were plowed in the autumn, and Alfalfa No. 1 was re-seeded.
In the end, Alfalfa's losses in 2004 remained at 200 million.
After three years, Alfalfa’s net investment has exceeded 630 million yuan.
Without the capital injection from the group headquarters, Alfalfa may still be barely surviving on bank loans.
But this situation has completely reversed this year.
The sales revenue from the first crop of 100,000 acres of pasture reached 235 million yuan.
There is no need to plow this year, and 100,000 acres can be harvested for 4 crops. Even if the yield of the next 3 crops drops, calculated at 0.6 tons per mu, it is still 180,000 tons, nearly 600 million yuan!
There are also 100,000 acres of seed fields and 20 million kilograms of seeds!
At 30 yuan per catty, that’s 600 million yuan.
Full-year revenue is estimated to be approximately 1.435 billion yuan!
Guo Yang knew that this algorithm was inaccurate.
According to the usual urine properties in our country, the larger the quantity, the lower the price.
But Alfalfa No. 1 is currently focusing on foreign markets, competing for the market with forage companies in the United States, Canada, Australia, Spain, and Chile.
In terms of quality, Alfalfa No. 1 is not inferior to any other country. In addition, high output is also a major advantage.
The only competitive pressure comes from China. Once the 20 million kilograms of seeds produced this year are put into the market, there will be an explosion in alfalfa production next year.
But at least this year, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is stable. If we throw away the water, it is conservatively estimated that the revenue will exceed 1 billion.
How can I recover all the investment costs in previous years!
Profitable in 3 years!
Guo Yang recalled the large-scale agricultural planting models he had come across in his previous life. They were profitable for three years, something that many project feasibility study reports did not dare to write.
Alfalfa actually did it.
This case is rare!
In Guo Yang’s memory,
it is more common to drive an Audi before investing in agriculture and drive out in an Alto three years later.
...
After coming back to his senses, Guo Yang's exhausted body regained some energy.
He recalled that the Corps bought 20,000 kilograms of alfalfa No. 1 seeds at a price of 100 yuan per kilogram.
I don’t know what’s going on now.
Call Yu Xiaochuan’s number.
"Manager Yu, how is the Corps' alfalfa processed? Has Alfalfa helped them sell it?"
The Corps? Yu Xiaochuan, who had just sent away the foreign businessman, was stunned for a moment, and the shrewd look of Zou Qing appeared in his mind.
“They have sold out.”
“Sold out, no exports?”
"No."
Yu Xiaochuan reviewed what he had learned and explained,
"The grass production in pastures in various parts of the country is not high this year, and forage is very popular."
“The Corps is also a large livestock owner, and they offered a price of 1.2 yuan per kilogram, and the employees of the Corps are willing to handle it nearby.”
“The main reason is that the quantity is not large, and Zou Qing and the others want to invest in exporting. Mechanical equipment.”
Guo Yang understood the cause of the matter, but still couldn't understand the brain circuits of Zou Qing and others.
This is also the reason why the domestic alfalfa export industry has not been able to develop.
In fact, before the 2008 infant milk powder incident, my country had always been an exporter of alfalfa, but the market had been shrinking.
The main reason is the mechanized production technology of alfalfa.
The suitable cutting period of alfalfa is short, and the protein content will drop rapidly after cutting. If a machine is used to complete drying within two hours, the protein preservation rate can be as high as more than 95%.
If dried naturally, the protein content can only be preserved below 60%.
In addition, long-distance transportation of alfalfa and post-harvest processing, including secondary compression of bales, processing of grass blocks, preparation of grass powder, and extraction of leaf protein, are all inseparable from mechanized technology.
In a sense, the process of alfalfa industrialization is the process of mechanization of alfalfa production.
Guo Yang couldn’t help but complain,
“After all, the blame will still fall on Fengkai Agricultural Machinery.”
"The research and development process of forage machinery has been delayed again and again!"
Yu Xiaobing said: "In fact, some machinery has been delivered recently, but there are too many machines involved, including silage, stacking, transportation, large-scale production, and post-production processing."
“And if we want to promote it domestically, we can only develop and produce high-quality and low-cost forage machinery, and form our own forage machinery product system and maintenance service system.”
Guo Yang smiled He smiled and said, “I know a lot!”
“Last year, I organized department employees to inspect the alfalfa market in island countries and learned from Canada and the United States.”
Guo Yang was curious, "Oh?"
"Because of the lack of land resources and heavy rainfall, the island country relies almost entirely on imported alfalfa."
"But they have formed their own stable supply base. And import channels, Canada and the United States, every year the island countries regularly go to the site to inspect the growth of alfalfa and sign product import contracts.”
“The island countries have extremely strict requirements on the quality, shape and packaging of alfalfa products. my country’s previous alfalfa export companies were eliminated at this level.”
“I was at the alfalfa warehouse in Ehime Prefecture, an island country, and saw the products they imported from Canada.
Large cut-off bales are packaged in plastic films, and alfalfa pellets are packaged in bulk bags made of canvas. We ignored this. "
After listening, Guo Yang felt the gap. In terms of details, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is indeed quite rough.
"Is it possible for us to expand the export market to island countries? "
Through the phone, Guo Yang could hear Yu Xiaochuan laughing.
"In fact, during the inspection, many importers showed strong interest in importing alfalfa products from China. , I just have doubts about the quality and performance capabilities of Huaxia Alfalfa products. ”
"I specially invited Shintaro Iwata of the Ehime Prefecture Dairy Farmers Association, and he agreed to come to Jiuquan for inspection."
Guo Yang praised: "Well done!"
Yu Xiaochuan smiled .
“I plan to organize employees to go to Spain in mid-July to inspect the planting, processing and feeding techniques of dehydrated alfalfa.”
“Spain is the world’s second largest exporter of alfalfa. The export volume exceeds one million tons, and its area is not much larger than Long Province.”
"If you have the chance, seize the alfalfa market in the Middle East."
Guo Yang nodded, "You can make your own arrangements, and make plans to go to the Middle East by the way, Mr. Yu!"
Yu Xiaochuan stopped.
Mr. Yu?
Just listen to Guo Yang’s voice,
"Congratulations, you got promoted."
My whole body is sore and I have a fever. I can't write anymore. That's all for today.
