(1) Build an information platform to expand collaboration and exchanges. In view of the lack of contact and communication between rural brokers and the inability to obtain timely and accurate market information, the association has organized many groups to participate in exchanges and collaborations, and organized some members to go to various places to participate in national, provincial and regional agricultural expos, tea expos, Agricultural product fairs and promotion meetings to learn about market conditions. At the same time, we use the advantages of platforms such as "Guyu Network", "Zhejiang Agricultural Information Network", "Ningbo Agricultural Products Marketing Network", and "Cixi Agricultural Information Network" to publish relevant information of each member unit online, and form a team of correspondents and establish a mobile phone The information platform and QQ group release the production and sales status of association members, convey relevant policy information, market information and training information, and promote new varieties, new fertilizers, etc. Make full use of the Municipal Agricultural Products Exhibition and Exhibition Center, Yiguo Bar, Municipal Agricultural Products Production and Sales E-commerce and other platforms to achieve online and offline interaction. Since last year, we have planned the first Cixi Online New Year Festival, the 2014 Cixi Online Bayberry Festival, and cooperated with Taobao and JD.com. Cooperation with e-commerce companies such as Juhuasuan has achieved good results.
(2) Innovate marketing models and expand sales of agricultural products.

For example, the chairman unit Zhejiang Haitong Food Co., Ltd. is an export-oriented agricultural product processing enterprise mainly engaged in fruit and vegetable processing, with an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 tons. It is a national leading agricultural enterprise. The company has established 14 franchise farms (professional cooperatives) in Cixi, Yuyao and other places to develop order farming. It purchases and processes more than 400 million agricultural products a year, accounting for 45% of total external sales, ensuring stable agricultural production and increasing farmers' income. .

Up to now, members of the association have created more than 30 agricultural product brands such as "Yida" and "Annong"; member units such as Huinong Fruit and Vegetables, Yida Poultry and other professional cooperatives have signed purchase and sales contracts with supermarkets, and their annual sales have exceeded 300 million. Yuan.
(3) Create characteristic professional cooperatives and give full play to joint advantages. In view of the loose connection among the cooperatives within the association and the "go it alone" situation caused by farmers who join the cooperative to operate on their own, the association, together with its governing unit Haitong Group and more than 40 farmers in the city, tried to establish the Municipal Sihai Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative to provide members with large-scale mechanized farming , harvesting, technology, maintenance, training and consulting services to solve the problems of members and large agricultural households such as high operating costs of large-scale mechanization and insecure technology, and to help provide professional plant protection services. The agricultural machinery service area is nearly 10,000 acres, and the cost is cheaper than the market price. 20%. At the same time, in order to promote mutual help and mutually beneficial cooperation between farmers' professional cooperatives and farmers who join the cooperatives, the association has helped establish 16 farmers' professional cooperatives such as circulation-oriented, production and processing, social service, leading-driven, and local characteristics. For example, Baolv Vegetable Professional Cooperative, a governing unit of the association, initiated the establishment of a circulation-oriented cooperative - Lusheng Land Share Planting Professional Cooperative. 175 farmers in Sanjiangkou Village, Zhouxiang Town, became shares at a discount from their contracted land management rights, with a concentrated land size of 315 acres, and implemented the " With the operating model of "unified quality, unified standards, unified trademarks, and unified sales", it is expected that the annual vegetable sales revenue will exceed 4 million yuan, and the fixed return and secondary dividend income of members will far exceed ordinary land transfer, leasing and other income. .

(4) Strengthen mutual financial assistance and ease financial pressure.
In view of the characteristics of the current agricultural brokerage industry, such as heavy investment and slow results, as well as the financing difficulties of some large planting and breeding households, processing enterprises and farmers' professional cooperatives, relatively lagging investment in equipment and facilities, hindered production and operation, and difficulty in forming economies of scale, the association took the initiative to guarantee Contact companies and banks to promote joint guarantees for agricultural product brokers and trial special loan services, striving to solve corporate financing difficulties. For example, the member unit Sanbei Poultry Cooperative and a rural cooperative bank form a credit consortium. The farmers who join the cooperative are members of the consortium. The Sanbei Poultry Cooperative serves as the overall guarantee agency. The members of the credit union (that is, the farmers who join the cooperative) realize mutual guarantees. . At the same time, larger member units are encouraged to establish guarantee companies and actively provide guarantee services for agricultural product brokers, agricultural-related enterprises and professional cooperatives. For example, Yida Poultry Professional Cooperative, the vice-president unit of the association, took the lead in taking 40% of the shares to establish the Municipal Kangning Guarantee Company to provide loan guarantee services to farmers and agricultural-related enterprises, with a single guarantee amount of 300,000-3 million yuan. Currently, the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, associations, and the Municipal Federation of Agricultural Products Supply and Marketing Professional Cooperatives are preparing to establish the "Cixi City Supply and Marketing Fund Mutual Aid Association" with a total registered capital of 5 million yuan.

The association has organized and held three junior classes for agricultural product brokers. , the first phase of the intermediate class.

Some members took the initiative to pair up with experts and carry out technical cooperation such as bayberry preservation.
