On the 10th of the first month, the garlic broker Ren Youchun of the two river towns of Danyang City, Hubei Province, welcomed the opening of the door.
the town of two rivers where Ren Youchun is located is a well-known garlic cultivation area of more than 40,000 mu, almost every household grows garlic. But 20 years back in time, there are only sporadic garlic cultivation, and garlic farmers have to be busy growing garlic alive, but also worry about how to sell.
" garlic seedlings have begun to smoke, or no one to buy, the heart that urgent ah. "At that time, or garlic farmers Ren Youchun and other garlic farmers in the town of two rivers, spontaneously came out of the field, become garlic traders, around to ask about the market and the market, will be their own and the village of garlic seedlings collected, and then sold together.
" vendors opened up the market, but garlic farmers are increasingly disgusted with us, saying that we specialize in speculative things. Ren Youchun said, in the drive of many traders, the two river town of garlic more and more species, but in the distribution of garlic seedlings doped with soil, second-best and other chaos, two river town garlic reputation continues to decline.

Today, the town of two rivers, "long slope" garlic has a brand effect, where the garlic seedlings in the country more and more popular.
don't look down on the three words 'broker', it's a business card. As long as they say to the merchants that they are garlic brokers, that is, quality assurance, they can safely and boldly do business with me. Xu Farkai, 67, is the biggest garlic broker in the town. He told reporters that when he first started doing garlic business, every morning at 5 o'clock began to call foreign customers and local garlic farmers, looking for markets, looking for sources. "Now I only need to call one day a year and tell the merchants and garlic farmers that I've opened the scales and I'm waiting for the business to come in every day." When he said this, Xu Hadkai had a proud smile on his face.
have a brand do not worry about the market, with brokers do not worry about selling, the two river town of garlic business is getting bigger and bigger, the country's 27 provinces can find garlic from the town of two rivers. Under the guidance of the agricultural and technical departments, the local garlic farmers also formed two kinds of species model, "Spring corn, garlic, half summer" and "garlic, fishy grass and half summer".
Wu Fanghua calculated an account: spring corn, garlic and semi-summer set of species model per mu per year net income is 8000 yuan to 10,000 yuan;
year's Central Document No. 1, "explore the cultivation of agricultural professional managers, training new farmers to meet the needs of modern agricultural development." Wu Fanghua said, from the ordinary farmers out of the field, to the hands of market resources throughout the country brokers, the more money the group earns, the more hard work.
