Our cooperative - Jingtai County Huboyuan Fruit Production and Marketing Specialized Cooperative, is located in Sanhe Village, Zhongquan Township, Jingtai County. Founded in 2011, the total capital contributed by its members amounts to 6 million RMB. Its main business scope includes: the cultivation of fruits, dried fruits, nuts and vegetables, the processing and sales of fruit products, as well as the import and export of goods and technologies. Adhering to the business philosophy of "exchanging trust and support with service and sincerity to achieve mutual benefit and win - win results; driving the prosperity of local farmers", our cooperative takes it as the core goal of development.
I. Basic Information of Our Cooperative
Our cooperative covers an area of 4,000 square meters, with an initial investment of 2 million RMB. In 2013, we purchased a set of automatic cleaning and sorting integrated machine from Zhejiang Wuxing Food Equipment Co., Ltd. The application of this equipment has greatly improved the labor efficiency of workers. At present, our cooperative has a 30 - square - meter drying and baking workshop and a 1,800 - square - meter warehouse.
Since its establishment, our cooperative has always adhered to the corporate spirit of "unyielding struggle, striving for progress, and pursuing excellence", and taken meeting the needs of domestic and foreign customers and satisfying them as the highest purpose. After years of unremitting efforts, our products have been sold well in more than 50 large and medium - sized cities such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Beijing, Harbin, Chongqing, Xi'an, Wuhan, Kunming, Shenzhen, Dalian, Guilin and Lanzhou. The sound sales network and rich resource advantages have provided strong support for the continuous growth of our cooperative.
With the continuous development of our cooperative, it has also driven the rapid progress of the planting industry (mainly fruit industries such as jujubes) along the Yellow River in local areas like Jingtai County and Jingyuan County. This development has not only effectively increased the income of local farmers and solved the employment problem of left - behind women, but also cracked the long - standing problem of "difficulty in selling jujubes and no guarantee" for farmers in the past, contributing positively to promoting the harmonious development of the local society.
II. Basic Information of Sanhe Village
Sanhe Village is located in the transition zone between the northwest edge of the Loess Plateau, the eastern extension of the Qilian Mountains and the Tengger Desert. The climate feature of large temperature difference between day and night provides unique and superior conditions for the growth of jujube trees. The village is 8 kilometers away from the Yellow River Stone Forest in Longwan Village, and the jujube trees are irrigated with water from the Yellow River. The unique natural conditions give birth to high - quality jujubes.
Sanhe Village has jurisdiction over four natural villages, namely Xifanyao, Songjiatang, Zengjiawan and Zhangjiatai, with a total of seven villager groups. It is 65 kilometers away from Jingtai County seat, with a total population of about 1,800 and a jujube orchard area of about 1,000 mu.
After 2011, our cooperative keenly perceived the broad development prospects of "green food". In addition, the state has continuously increased its policy support for issues related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers (i.e., the "Three Rural Issues"). Our cooperative has decisively seized this historical development opportunity and continuously increased investment. At the same time, with the improvement of people's attention to food safety, our cooperative has also further strengthened its emphasis on food safety. We have actively communicated and cooperated with local competent authorities, committed to establishing a raw material safety processing base that truly "belongs" to us, and explored and formed a cooperation model of "cooperative + farmers + base + scientific research".
At present, our cooperative has signed order cooperation agreements with farmers. In the future, our cooperative plans to strengthen safety management in an all - round way, starting from links such as seedling selection, seedling cultivation, planting, daily field management of fruits, and the usage and dosage of organic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. By unifying technical requirements and standards, we will guide farmers (planters) to carry out daily planting and management work, effectively reducing the residue of harmful substances such as pesticides, ensuring that the fruits meet food safety requirements, and laying a solid foundation for our cooperative to purchase qualified and safe raw materials.
