On March 31, accompanied by Xiang Chengqiang, Secretary of the Xishui County Party Committee, Yuan Jiayu, Director of Guizhou Provincial Agriculture Committee, and his delegation investigated Xishui Dekon, and visited Dekon family farm. Yuan Jiayu and his delegation spoke highly of Dekon’s development ideas of adopting modern and standardized facilities and equipment for pig breeding and driving 300 local farmers to develop family farms.

The breeding farms of Mu Liqin and Zhao Qinglin, the cooperative family farmers of Dekon Group, were equipped with standardized breeding houses, automated facilities and equipment, and neatly stacked feed. Yuan Jiayu also carefully asked them about capital investment, the income from agency breeding fees, how many pigs can be raised by one person, the differences between the previous occupation and the current pig farming occupation, and the bottlenecks in breeding technology, etc. Yuan Jiayu was very happy to learn that with the strong support of Dekon Group, a person can raise 500 fattening pigs in Zhao Qinglin’ farm, and the first batch of pigs have been slaughtered, with a commission income of RMB 186.95 yuan per pig, and all the invested funds can be recovered in just over a year, and he immediately gave a high degree of affirmation to the Dekon model.

At the symposium, Director Yuan Jiayu pointed out that the mountainous ecological livestock industry in Xishui has begun to take shape, and has formed a replicable industrial development model, which not only improves the technical management of farmers and solves the risk of epidemic prevention, but also benefits family happiness and social stability, and has played a positive role in promoting the structural upgrading of local economy. Yuan Jiayu highly praised Xishui County Party Committee and county government’s bold innovation and adherence to the industrial development model of “government + enterprise + family farm”. He further demanded that the development of mountainous ecological animal husbandry should be based on rural areas, and that we should drive poverty-stricken households to get rid of poverty, develop farmers to increase their income and get rich, build high-standard family farms, and spread Dekon model and Xishui experience in the whole province.
