Post-80s man from overseas returnee to new farmer
2024-10-27
He Qilong, 35 years old, who studied abroad, gave up job opportunities in big cities and returned to his hometown, Anren County, to work in agriculture ten years ago. Over the past ten years, he has established the Anren Shengping Information Service Platform to provide mutually beneficial agricultural information service. This platform helps local farmers reduce the cost of agricultural machinery, expand sales channels for agricultural products, and increase their income.
In recent years, he has won the fourth “Chenzhou Youth May Fourth Medal” and the first “Hunan Rural Revitalization Youth Pioneer”.
In Gaopi Village, Yonglejiang Town, Anren County, Xie Anqing, a large grain grower, used the platform to make an appointment with agricultural machinery operators for the upcoming autumn farming operations. This year, he has transferred another 100 mu (about 6.67 hectares) of land to plant rice.
“With this platform, we can enjoy mechanized operation services in a timely manner without the need to purchase equipment,” said Xie Anqing.
This platform was launched in November 2021, designed based on the principles of the Didi’s software. It aims to establish a communication platform for grain growers and agricultural machinery operators. Grain growers can place orders online according to their own needs, and agricultural machinery operators can receive orders nearby to achieve resource sharing. As of now, the platform has attracted over 2,000 registered users, with its services covering the whole county.
“As long as you enter the order for the first time, subsequent orders can be intelligently generated, because rice planting has fixed time nodes and certain temporal regularity, which means that various agricultural machinery operation processes have temporal regularity,” said He Qilong.
In 2013, He Qilong graduated from the Kyungpook National University in South Korea. After returning to China, he worked for a foreign company for a period of time.
However, driven by his love for agriculture, he decided to return to his hometown to start a business in August 2014.
“When I was in college, I was thinking about how to turn small fields in the south into large fields, and make grains planted on a large scale in the south,” said He Qilong.
In addition to innovating in the field of agricultural machinery, he has also introduced a new rice planting model.
“Growers become our partners with their land. The enterprise bears all the costs, including land rent, pesticides and fertilizers, seeds, agricultural machinery operation, and laborers. The growers are only responsible for management and dispatch, and they get 80% of net income. Besides, there is also a basic salary of 4,700 yuan per month for the growers,” said He Qilong.
The model has greatly mobilized farmers’ enthusiasm for farming, and achieved unified procurement of agricultural materials, unified sales of rice, and unified technical management. This not only saves a lot of transportation and operation costs, but also unifies the variety of rice for enterprises, promoting the construction of the rice brand, and providing considerable income for farmers.
Recently, He Qilong is committed to developing an integrated information service platform for raw grain procurement. The platform aims to enable farmers to learn about grain prices and sell grains by weighing automatically, and ensure the traceability of quality inspection data, unit prices, amounts, and payment records.
Meanwhile, by sharing farmer information and field locations collected by agricultural machinery, the platform can achieve traceability of grain planting and production, and display planting locations, growers, and quality inspection data.
“We hope to build a shared agricultural machinery operation platform for agricultural machinery operators, provide growers with an open, transparent, and high-quality planting platform, and build a platform that integrates sales problems and solutions by connecting with the enterprises’ procurement platforms. We will continue efforts to optimize these three platforms,” said He Qilong.
