How to grow rice to get a good income?

According to China Rural Voices, “Three Rural China”, the domestic rice market purchase price policy continued to undergo in-depth reforms in 2018, which led to significant changes in the raw grain market. For growers, how can rice grow better? In light of the market situation, Sun Liwu, the special commentator of China Rural Voice, gives you some suggestions and new ideas.

First, choose a good rice variety

Rice varieties affect the price of selling grain, and it is recommended that farmers choose high-quality rice according to local conditions. First look at the local accumulated temperature zone, climate conditions, etc. is not suitable for the planting of this species. As the saying goes: "One side of the water and soil to raise one person", the same rice variety in different climatic conditions, the yield and quality will be different, it is necessary to breed rice varieties suitable for the local climate. In addition, with the improvement of the consumption level of the domestic people, the demand for high-quality rice in China is constantly improving. Taking this year's northern rice as an example, the price of high-quality rice is more than 2 cents per kilogram than that of ordinary rice, and the "high quality and good price" is obvious.

Second, strengthen field management

After selecting the rice varieties, we must strengthen the field management and guarantee the harvest. First, pay attention to weather and weather changes. For example, the rice producing areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China are susceptible to high temperature and drought every year. Farmers can store water in advance to resist drought, increase fat and strengthen seedlings, and reduce losses. The second is scientific management, and more exchanges with local seeds and agricultural technology departments. For example, the time and frequency of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides should be well mastered, and rice resistance to disease and production capacity should be strengthened.

Third, increase the additional income

In recent years, the rise of order farming and rice farming has significantly helped farmers to increase their income. The order is planted according to the requirements of the order company to plant higher quality rice, the price is higher than the market price of ordinary rice. The rice-fishing co-culture is to establish an ecological field, increase the cultivation of fish, shrimp, crab, etc. on the basis of rice cultivation, and reduce the input of pesticides and fertilizers while increasing the income. Take southern rice shrimp farming as an example. In 2018, the average yield per mu of rice planted is about 400 yuan/mu, while the average net income per mu of rice and crayfish can reach 1500-2000 yuan/mu.

Fourth, scale, intensive planting

Rice farmers have low income and poor anti-risk ability. It is recommended that farmers' friends carry out large-scale and intensive cultivation. In particular, large grain growers and rice planting cooperatives are more likely to generate scale benefits, and at the same time, they can join agricultural insurance to withstand the risk of decline in planting income caused by natural disasters and markets.

Of course, we also see that the domestic Wuchang rice, Japan's Koshihikari rice, and Thai fragrant rice are deeply loved by the people. In the future, the development of domestic rice requires closer cooperation and intercommunication between farmers and enterprises, enterprises and markets. Together, we will create a rice brand effect and drive farmers to increase their income.
