Chapter 336 Organic Fertilizer; Revenue; Grain and Oil
“What is urgent now is to solve the supply chain of chemical fertilizers. This is Denong’s biggest dilemma at present.” Yuan Wenwu said.
Although Denong has a full warehouse, the reserves are not large compared to the demand.
Maybe the spring plowing is not over yet, and there will be no goods in the warehouse.
Denong Purchasing Manager Yang Fuyun mused: "We have contacted the upstream suppliers and are currently in full production, but we will have to wait until at least the second half of the year to resume supply to Denong."
Supply in the second half of the year means there will be a window of two to three months in between.
In the conference room, everyone was making suggestions.
It is necessary to enter the upstream chemical production, but there is not enough time. Currently, procurement is still the main focus.
The focus is on the upstream fertilizer plants.
Guo Yang patted the table gently.
Everyone had been paying attention to the boss's expression, and for a moment, the conference room became quiet.
The arrangements before and after the snow disaster were all strongly promoted by the boss. Now the situation is great and everyone is full of admiration.
“What about Hexi Animal Husbandry’s organic fertilizer?”
Guo Yang said: “It is too late to produce chemical fertilizers, but is there any problem if Hexi Animal Husbandry’s commercial organic fertilizer production and sales are divested to Denong? ?”
Just thought for a moment.
"Yes." Yuan Wenwu said: "The current price of commercial organic fertilizer is 400 to 1,000 yuan/ton, which can replace part of it."
Someone asked: "What is the quality of Hexi Animal Husbandry's organic fertilizer? ”
“ Mainly refined organic fertilizers ”
“ It only needs to change the production process and model, and there is enough time. ”
The production of commercial organic fertilizers is rich in raw materials and types. There are many, and according to the main components, it can be divided into: fecal organic fertilizer, straw organic fertilizer, humic acid organic fertilizer, waste residue organic fertilizer, sludge organic fertilizer, etc.
The animal husbandry in Hexi mainly consists of livestock and poultry manure and crop straw.
However, according to the production mode, it is a refined organic fertilizer, which is mainly used for green and organic agricultural products to provide organic matter and a small amount of nutrients.
There may be nutrient deficiencies when used in field agricultural production.
So two other modes are needed.
First, organic and inorganic compound fertilizers contain a certain proportion of organic matter and high available nutrients;
Third, bio-organic fertilizers. In addition to containing high organic matter, the products also contain functional bacteria that can improve the release of nutrients in fertilizers or soil;
"That's it." Guo Yang turned sideways to Ning. Xiaojing said: "Ask Mr. Xiaqiu if I can participate in the video conference now?"
In a few words, we have a solution.
After a while, Qiu Jingrang, general manager of Hexi Animal Husbandry, came online.
Guo Yang said directly: "The group plans to divest the production and sales of commercial organic fertilizers and hand them over to Denong."
"No problem!" Qiu Jingrang readily agreed.
Manure disposal and environmental pollution are the biggest headaches for the ranch. Now that they can be handed over, it is a good thing for Hexi.
But after thinking about it carefully, Qiu Jingrang asked: "Are you going to sell it to external parties?"
"Yes."
"Well...there is a question, the group's organic fertilizer It has always been internal, and the current production capacity can only meet internal demand.”
Qiu Jingrang explained in detail.
An adult cow produces 20 kilograms of cow dung every day, which is about 7.3 tons a year. 400,000 cows equals 2.92 million tons. Adding beef, beef, sheep, and accessories, the annual output is 3.5 to 4 million tons.
The current major users are the 1 million soybean bases of Jinta and Zepu, with 2 tons per mu, which is 2 million tons;
Eastern Ranch will supply 300,000 acres of coastal organic soybean bases. 1 million tons per year;
The four orchard bases also use 30,000 to 50,000 tons per year;
The organic fertilizer produced by Asafoetida Gobi and Xinjiang Province’s pastures can be completely digested by Qinghe Agriculture’s 2 million acres of Gobi;
Urad Grassland is basically digested by itself during the grassland restoration process. After two years , and also responsible for the soil improvement of the A. sorbifera energy forest;
The southern jatropha tree will be transplanted this year, and organic fertilizer has been reserved...
After all, there is really no excess.
After listening to this, Guo Yang thought for a while and came up with a balance.
"First, expand production capacity on existing production lines and obtain raw materials according to local conditions. In addition to livestock and poultry manure, weathered coal, peat soil, and agricultural and sideline product waste from Jiahe Grain and Oil, etc. can be used."
"Second , the plan to use organic fertilizer as base fertilizer for Urad grassland and Jatropha has been slowed down."
"Thirdly, Denong still has 1.1 million tons of reserves, and the sales strategy will be changed to gain more time to expand production. . ”
In the long run, a combination of organic and chemical fertilizers is best for the soil.
Before 1949, organic nutrients accounted for more than 99% of land application in my country. By the 1980s, it was still 60%.
However, with the rise of the chemical fertilizer industry, the disadvantages of organic fertilizers have emerged. As of this year, only 20%.
The output of grains and vegetables is getting higher and higher, but the price is the decline in the quality of cultivated land, serious soil loss in mountainous areas, and the physical and chemical properties are getting worse: sour, thin, board, sticky, drought...
The most intuitive feeling is the quality of agricultural products.
The quality of rice grains is poor, the water content of the fruit is high, the sugar/acid ratio is inappropriate, and the color, aroma and taste of tea are poor...
It is often said that the quality is not as good as before. That tastes bad, and it is criticized by more and more people.
When you are full, you begin to pursue higher quality, which is also where the market demand lies.
Currently, green agriculture and organic agriculture are beginning to emerge across the country, and the demand for organic fertilizers is growing rapidly.
Taking Gan Province as an example, the annual demand for refined organic fertilizer for organic agriculture has reached 1.2 million tons.
Including other organic fertilizers, the total demand is about 1.5 million tons.
The country’s hard demand is 20 million tons, but the potential demand is even higher.
After all, the current average level of organic fertilizer application is very low. Even for fruits and vegetables, tea trees, flue-cured tobacco, and flowers, the amount used per acre is only 300 to 500 pounds.
Field crops are even lower, only 200 to 300 kilograms.
In fact, organic fertilizers are more nutritious than chemical fertilizers, and the dosage per acre must be at least 2 to 3 tons.
One is because of the price, and the other is because the labor intensity is greater.
Therefore, Denong's external organic fertilizer production must add inorganic fertilizer ingredients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the cost must be lowered.
After discussing bit by bit, the plan was finally decided.
Denong plans to achieve an annual output of 20 million tons of commercial organic fertilizer within three years.
A large part of it is for internal use of the group.
In addition, in addition to external sales, the planting bases that cooperate with Jiahe Cereals and Oils will also increase the proportion of organic fertilizers used.
This video conference did not end until noon.
…
In early March, the damage caused by the snowstorm was irreversible. Fortunately, the weather in the south gradually improved.
The northwest land is gradually coming out of the cold.
This winter is also of profound significance to Jiahe. After New Year’s Day, houses were allocated and bonuses were distributed to employees during the Spring Festival.
In this snowstorm in the south, Jiahe System also showed strong competitiveness.
Not only have agricultural supplies grown by leaps and bounds, Hexi Dairy, Jiahe Supermarket, and Jiahe Cereals and Oils have also achieved dazzling results.
“Dong dong.”
“Come in.”
Ning Xiaojing walked in.
“Boss, the finance department sent last year’s revenue data, but Weiguang and Blue Star did not submit last year’s financial report. Are you saying it was your order?”
"Yes." Guo Yang raised his head and took the report, glanced at it, and asked: "Are you ready for the relocation ceremony?"
"Everything is in order, it will be held as scheduled, and the leaders of the city and province will attend on time. ."
"Okay, thank you."
After hesitating for two seconds, Ning Xiaojing asked: "Boss, aren't you in a hurry to take a look at the financial statements?"
“What, what’s wrong with the data?”
"No." Ning Xiaojing choked, not knowing how to answer. When she first saw last year's financial report, she was dumbfounded.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "I am very clear about the company's operating situation, and it is in line with my expectations."
Ning Xiaojing had a big word "Fatigue" written on her face. He turned around and got busy again.
At this time, Guo Yang picked up this surprising financial report.
Last year, Jiahe Group’s total revenue exceeded the 100 billion mark for the first time, compared with 35 billion the year before, a growth rate of 262%.
It's just that some revenue data is from the left hand to the right hand, and the data is superimposed internally, and there is still a lot of water.
In addition, investments in industrial expansion, ecological management and other aspects are also extremely huge.
At the same time, there are many investments in warehousing logistics, water-saving drip irrigation, Dunhuang Wetlands, etc., but the money has not been spent yet.
In general, the net profit is not high.
Of course, if the profits of Shimmer and Blue Star on futures are added, this will be extremely terrifying.
It just doesn't last.
The situation this year will also be more complicated.
There are fewer saline-alkali lands that are easier to develop. The domestic potential of Alfalfa No. 1 is not high, and the use of second-generation species is becoming more and more frequent.
Similarly, the share of Tianyu No. 1 and Tiandou No. 1 is too high, and their homogeneity makes it increasingly difficult to control pests and diseases.
The main reason is that the opponent's imitation species has also come out... There are still many problems.
But no matter what, this result is enough to satisfy Guo Yang.
By the afternoon, this revenue also caused a huge sensation within the group!
In the irrigation group.
“??????”
“Really over 100 billion?”
After Bao Xinyu learned the news, he immediately sent a series of question marks, and then he was bombarded with messages one after another.
“Why did it exceed 100 billion?”
“What happened?”
“Falcon has no sense of participation at all except losing money.”
No one paid attention to him. Not everyone can see the specific financial report, but everyone in the irrigation group knows the general idea.
But where did these 100 billion in revenue come from?
The year before last, Haohe, Tianhe and Hexi all had a revenue of over 10 billion, Fengkai only had more than 2 billion, and the others were just small shrimps.
In addition to Jiahe Cereals and Oils, the growth of other companies should also be terrifying this year.
It's not hard to guess.
However, at the group headquarters relocation ceremony the next day, Xie Shijie, Qu Yang, Pu Fei, and Ji Zhuowen, who rushed back, still couldn't help but be curious.
They came to Guo Yang one after another to inquire about the situation.
Guo Yang didn't hide anything and explained the situation clearly to several people.
The result was not beyond the expectations of several people, but they still felt a sense of excitement, so that a group of people seemed a little strange during the ceremony.
Qin Lijun, who was standing on Guo Yang's side, smiled and said: "Mr. Guo, Jiahe's morale is very high!"
"Haha, not bad."
Amid cheers, Jiahe’s new headquarters in the Gobi was opened.
Although the three-dimensional building is still bare for the time being, a new journey has begun. …
A "Preferential Policy for the Development of Efficient and Water-Saving Agriculture" spread like wildfire in the Jiuquan area, attracting the attention of farmers.
Dunhuang, a certain village.
A group of villagers listened to the village cadre read the document.
“In order to protect the ecological environment and save limited water resources, the city plans to allocate 150 million yuan this year to water-saving drip irrigation subsidies...”
“Oh, now the city It’s a big investment!”
“Oh, this money won’t be distributed to the whole city!”
“What’s the fuss about?” The village chief glared at some of the villagers. "I'm not finished yet!"
After it became quiet, the village chief continued: "This money will be mainly used in the three irrigation areas of Changma, Huahai and Shuangta on the Shule River."
"Hey, we are Huahai. !”
“How much land is there in the Shule River Irrigation District?”
The village chief said: “A total of more than 700,000 acres!”
(PS: The front is 700) Ten thousand acres, has been changed)
"The subsidy can be more than 200 yuan per mu. Now the water fee has been changed to be charged by the meter. The water fee is expensive. Coupled with Jiahe's loans and subsidies, this can be done!"
"Gao Erwa, You can do the math quickly. This drip irrigation can save water costs in a few years."
"In two years," Gao Erwa said thoughtfully: "If it is as advertised, it will save fertilizer and labor. With high yield, it may not take more than two years."
Someone has already shouted.
“Village Chief, I want to sign up.”
"I'll sign up too."
The crowd swarmed forward. For the first time, the village chief felt that the villagers' work was so easy to do.
No way, he gave too much.
Jiahe.
Guo Yangxin’s office has a good view. It is closer to the Qilian Mountains, and the majestic posture is unobstructed.
Opposite him is Niu Hulin, who has been promoted to general manager of Jiahe Ecological Environment Management.
“More than 99% of the more than 700,000 acres are involved in drip irrigation?”
“Yes, the state-owned farm cooperated to complete the work at the end of last year, and the head, water intake points, pipelines, etc. were all planned , people in the village also completed signing and fingerprinting a few days ago.”
Guo Yang somewhat underestimated the charm of money. With the double subsidies from the government and Jiahe, the cost of drip irrigation has dropped again and again.
“What about the drip irrigation factory?”
"Already under construction." Niu Hulin said: "We have also negotiated purchase and construction contracts with Dayu Water Savings, Tianye Water Savings, etc. for the preliminary equipment."
The promotion of water saving and fallow farming went smoothly and somewhat beyond expectations. Guo Yang's imagination.
The main reason is that he did not expect Qin Lijun to be so courageous. Not only the drip irrigation subsidy is 150 million, but the 10% of fallow land also has a subsidy of 50 million.
A total of 200 million subsidies.
For Jiuquan’s finances, it is definitely a big deal.
The first reaction in Guo Yang's mind was that Qin Lijun's office must be crowded with people, and the districts and counties that did not receive subsidies must be in trouble.
But this is a good thing for Jiahe.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "According to previous estimates, once all water conservation and fallow cultivation in the Shule River Basin are completed, at least 147 million m of water can be saved. Coupled with this year's ice and snow meltwater, this spring, the ecological The task of governance is very heavy!”
“Most problems can be solved with money,” Niu Hulin said: “What I am worried about now is that once the water resources are abundant, some villages may not be able to bear it. Reclaim the barren beaches in the basin. ”
“How many barren beaches are there? ”
"110,000 hectares is more than twice the cultivated land. These are state-owned reserve resources of cultivated land."
Guo Yang reacted.
This is the fundamental difference between the northwest saline-alkali land and the coastal saline-alkali land, lack of water.
Once developed without caution, it may cause ecological disaster.
“If there was no Dunhuang West Lake Wetland Project, it would actually be quite good to reclaim it as cultivated land.”
Niu Hulin said: "It's a bit of a pity."
Guo Yang said: "There will be opportunities in the future. When the downstream stabilizes, there may be another breakthrough in technology, and it will not be too late to develop it again."< br>
“I hope that day will come.”
Since March, although it is still cold, the ecological management company has been operating at full capacity.
Jiahe’s water-saving factory has not yet been built. This year’s equipment and construction were directly handed over to Dayu, Tianye and other units, and the speed was not slow.
Huanghua, Yinma, and Dunhuang farms have started construction directly. The headquarter, pump room, water source point... it will not be a problem to catch up with this spring plowing.
Spring plowing time in the Shule River Basin is from April to May. There are still one or two months left. If you don’t rush for autumn and winter vegetables, you can still sow them in summer.
So, other areas should also be able to be completed.
The team led by Niu Hulin mainly focused on river management projects. Similarly, river construction and other projects were handed over to professional companies.
Jiahe is only responsible for supervision and sowing and cultivation of coastal plants.
In addition to Hanhai kenaf and various grass species, drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant vine trees were also planted on the periphery to prevent wind and sand from burying the river again.
In the West Lake Wetland further downstream, there is a team of experts composed of Lu Qi, Wang Ji and others, who are studying the best management plan.
With Jiahe’s sufficient cash support, the entire project is progressing smoothly.
On March 6,
Jiahe once again signed a contract with the city to acquire 11,700 hectares of saline-alkali wasteland in the Yanshan River Irrigation District of Jiuquan and 40,500 hectares of saline-alkali wasteland in the middle reaches of the Tuolai River Irrigation District.
A total of approximately 780,000 acres of land.
These are also developable reserve farmland resources.
They are also the last two salt-alkali flats in the western region of Jiuquan. However, compared with the salt-alkali flats that Jiahe captured before, these two irrigation areas are relatively sparse.
The Yanshan River Irrigation Area refers to several dam areas along the rivers under the Qilian Mountains.
The middle reaches of the Tuolai River is not just the Tuolai River, but multiple irrigation areas in the north and south of the Tuolai River, so it is very scattered.
For specific management, it may be divided into dozens or hundreds of small farms or areas.
But Jiahe has no plans to cultivate it into cultivated land for the time being. It can be doubled, sprinkled with alfalfa No. 1, and grow according to circumstances.
After the Shule River Basin is tidied up, water-saving fallow farming can be implemented in Jiuquan, and the more than 700,000 acres can be properly reclaimed.
Signature completed.
Qin Lijun joked: "How about Jiahe also takes the 110,000 hectares of wasteland in the Shule River Irrigation District?"
"It's okay." Guo Yang was not polite at all, "Actually, it's okay to give Jiahe all the deserted beaches such as Danghe River, Yulin River, Chijin-Baiyangshan River."
"Including these 780,000 acres, the total It’s only more than three million acres of land, and Jiahe can afford the land rent of 20 to 30 million a year.”
“Really want to take it?”
“Sure,” Guo Yang said seriously. .
Although he wanted to agree, Qin Lijun didn't want to take the risk. Once something goes wrong in the middle, it is likely to cause massive public outrage.
"It's better to wait and wait. When the water-saving fallow farming is effective, it won't be a problem."
Guo Yang smiled and said, "It's all OK."
Complete in the administrative building After signing the contract, Guo Yang rushed back to the company and basically never stopped these days.
It’s the Spring Festival again.
Speaking of which, I don’t even know when it was the last time I took a break.
While he was distracted, the call came again. After one glance, Guo Yang became excited and became more energetic.
"Hey, Lin Bu, what are your instructions?"
"Hey, you're not looking for me?" Lin Bu laughed and scolded: "Then I'll die!"
< br>"No, leader." Guo Yang did not expect that the Ministry of Forestry would not follow the rules, and said quickly: "Jiahe wants to develop potash mines in Laos, and wants to build a bridge with the Ministry of Agriculture."
"With you? Just a few words and leave the rest to the Ministry of Agriculture. Jiahe should prepare money and people. It is best to send people to Laos in advance to understand the situation. "
"Okay."
"Speed up the process as much as possible and put it into production as soon as possible."
The Ministry of Agriculture was so forthcoming, which was a bit beyond Guo Yang's expectations, but after thinking about it, it's not surprising.
In the past few days, negotiations on imported potash fertilizer have been warming up.
Since 2006, negotiations on potash fertilizer imports have reached deadlocks one after another.
But it was okay in the past few years. After intense rounds of negotiations, the price increased by US$25 in 2006 and only US$5 in 2007.
However, this year, the rumors in the market are not optimistic, and Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer has frequently fluctuated in the stock market.
Another anomaly is that both Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer and Sinofert Fertilizer have stopped quoting prices, clearly indicating production cuts and other increases.
Because it is rumored that the price has increased by three to four hundred US dollars, which means that the CIF price will reach 700 US dollars/ton, and the domestic potash fertilizer price is likely to hit 5,000 yuan/ton.
The current domestic price is 3,250 yuan, and the increase of 1,750 yuan is enough to be described as crazy.
Denong's chemical fertilizers are controlled by others, and the potash fertilizers in the entire country are also controlled by others.
Guo Yang said: "Jiahe will try his best."
"Well, there is another thing. There is a shortage of edible oil in the country recently. Wilmar International has made frequent moves in the country and recently reached an agreement with Heilongjiang Province. Why is there no news about Jiahe’s investment agreement of 6.5 billion yuan?”
Guo Yang smiled: “It’s a little late for Fengyi to increase investment at this time.”
“What do you mean? ”
"I have been paying attention to Wilmar International's actions. The 6.5 billion yuan should be their investment in the next few years, and Jiahe has two bases that will be put into production soon. This year, Jiahe's actions will not be small either."
"Okay, as long as you have an idea."
In fact, in addition to Wilmar International, the National Agricultural Group's actions during this period are also not small.
It should be said that this competition was started by National Food.
Because before Wilmar invested 6.5 billion yuan in Northeast China, Guofang was the first to announce that it would invest 10 billion yuan in Northeast China in the next few years.
In the past year of 2007, Guofang Group announced revenue of more than 140 billion yuan, but the profit was a loss.
The reason for the loss is also expansion too fast.
But now facing these two companies, Jiahe Cereals and Oils already has the advantage.
Before Gaode entered Jiahe, Jiahe Cereals and Oils had purchased soybean crushing plants along the coast, with a daily processing capacity of more than 20,000 tons and an annual production capacity of 7.5 million tons.
The annual wheat flour processing capacity of Tianhe is 400,000 tons.
However, since the second half of last year, Jiahe Cereals and Oils has entered a period of rapid expansion, with the pace of mergers and acquisitions accelerating.
At present, Jiahe Cereals and Oils has 12 factories, mainly in Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, Tianjin, Gansu, Xinjiang and other places, with a processing capacity of more than 10 million tons of oils and fats.
This production capacity is equivalent to Wilmar International.
Slightly better than the national grain.
Nowadays, Guofang and Wilmar International have successively settled, which has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.
"China Business News" published an article titled "National Grain and Wilmar International compete for the largest grain warehouse in China" and introduced in detail the fight between the two.
The media who do not know the truth believe that Wilmar International wants to monopolize genetically modified soybean resources in Northeast Africa, while National Food wants to seize the food from the tiger's mouth.
However, when the melon-eaters were watching the fun and concentration, two new reports quietly came out.
"Grain and Oil Market News": The world's largest grain and oil R&D center has settled in Qingdao.
"China Food Safety News": Jiahe Cereals and Oils Jinmen Factory was fully put into operation, and the opening ceremony was held grandly.
