1. Present situation and characteristics of flower planting in our city.
Large-scale flower planting in our city began at 1992 and has developed rapidly since 1998. At present, flower planting in our city has begun to take shape, with about 500 large and small growers, and the flower planting area is 1978 1 mu. It has a number of large flower planting bases, such as Sanjiang Flower Farm of Hainan Binfen Horticulture Co., Ltd., Tanlianpo Flower Production Base of Yunlong, Changliu Meide Base of Phoenix Flower City of Hainan, and the flower products cover many kinds of flowers and green varieties such as green seedlings, ornamental flowers and bonsai gardening. At present, most of the large-scale and high-grade base nurseries invested in our city are founded by foreign companies and foreign bosses, and local companies, bosses and growers account for about 1/3 of the total, with small capital and scale. Flower planting is mainly concentrated in Yanfeng, Sanjiang, Lingshan and Yunlong towns around meilan airport, as well as Luoniushan Farm, Haixiu and Changliu Town near Phoenix Flower City. It mainly produces leaf-cutting varieties such as Fuguizhu, loose-leaved sunflower, Bashi wood and tortoise shell bamboo, and potted orchids such as cash cow, rich tree, peace tree, Dendrobium and Oncidium. Products are sold all over the country, and exported to Japan, South Korea and so on.
Two. The development prospect of flower planting in our city is broad, which is an important way to optimize the agricultural industrial structure, absorb rural labor force and increase farmers' income.
The flower planting in our city has made great progress from scratch, from less to more, and then to a higher scale, but the insiders believe that compared with some big cities in China, the flower planting in our city is small in scale and slow in development. The flower products in our city are mainly cut leaves and potted plants of tropical flowers and trees, which are sold to large and medium-sized cities and exported, with a large market. Hainan's unique climate suitable for the growth and cultivation of tropical flowers, coupled with cheap land rent and labor, is a hot spot for tropical flower producers and operators to invest, especially in the suburbs of China, which are close to airports and ports and have geographical advantages. The development prospect of tropical flower industry in our city is broad. Therefore, at present, the momentum of renting land to invest in flower bases in the suburbs of our city is flourishing, which is influencing and driving local people to join in it.
The investigation found that wherever there is a large-scale flower base, a group of local farmers can be absorbed to work in other places to drive a group of local farmers to engage in flower planting, and the income of local farmers will be significantly improved. Moreover, the scientific planting technology and advanced management concept of flower base are influencing and changing farmers' planting concept and production concept. Tanlianpo Flower Production Base in Yunlong Town has absorbed 0/09 laborers from Tanlian Village/KLOC-to the base for employment, bringing 700,000 yuan in labor income to the village every year. According to the general situation, the annual output value of flowers per mu is about 10000 yuan, which is 10 times the output value of rice planting. Sanjiang town makes full use of the town's location advantages and resource advantages, and vigorously develops the flower industry under the leadership of leading enterprises, thus injecting new growth points into the town's agricultural economy. At present, the flower planting area in sanjiang town is 2,880 mu, including 7 large flower bases with an area of 1.500 mu and 38 flower nurseries with an area of 530 mu. There are 35 farmers in Yanjingtang, Jiangyuan and Sanjiang Village Committees around Sanjiang Flower Farm of Hainan Binfen Horticulture Co., Ltd., who used to be employees of Colorful Flower Farm. After working in the flower farm for many years, they returned to their villages, established their own flower planting bases or nurseries, and instructed other farmers to plant flowers, which promoted the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure and increased farmers' income.
Regarding the income from planting flowers, they don't want to talk much, just saying that it depends on the market situation, and everyone's situation is different. Generally, the net income per mu is about 2000 yuan, which is at least much better than working. Zhang, the marketing manager of Phoenix Flower City, said that he knew many people engaged in flower planting. At first, it was also difficult. After several years of operation, now he has bought a house, a car and a shotgun. Not to mention that the flower business has made a fortune, at present, the flower planting in our city has already met the conditions for great development. As long as the flower industry in our city develops well, a large number of rural laborers are engaged in the flower industry, and a number of local professional flower growers and planting villages have emerged. According to the average 600 yuan per person per month, the economic benefits are considerable. As a provincial capital city, vigorously developing flower industry is of great significance for greening and beautifying coconut city, cultivating citizens' sentiment and improving people's quality of life. This is a wonderful career!
Three factors restricting the development of flower production in our city.
Superior climatic conditions and location advantages are not commensurate with the current development scale of flower planting in our city. The main factors restricting the development of flower production in our city are as follows:
(1) funding problem.
It needs to invest more money to grow flowers. Generally, the initial cost per mu needs 6,543,800 yuan, which requires a certain scale to produce scale effect. The problem of funds has become the main factor restricting flower planting, especially for local people. In Dalin Village, Lingshan Town, Haikou Xuanyuan Agricultural Co., Ltd. leased 55 mu of land in this village in 2002 to establish an orchid production base. According to the boss of the company, the company's main products are fresh-cut orchids, which are exported to domestic and foreign markets such as Liaoning and Hong Kong. The market prospect is very good. The biggest problem at present is the shortage of goods. They want to promote the cultivation of local farmers in the form of companies+farmers. After publicity, some local people also saw the benefits and prospects of orchid cultivation, but the upfront cost was 50,000-70,000 yuan. Many people also want to plant orchids, but "they can't plant them without money"
(B) insufficient understanding, the atmosphere is not strong.
Our understanding is not in place, the government is not strong enough in propaganda, guidance, support and promotion, and the atmosphere for developing flower production is not strong. For example, most of the flower farmers who are engaged in flower investment and labor services in our city are foreigners, because they know that this industry can make money and find jobs. People can come from all over the country to invest and look for jobs. Some local people with planting conditions and ability would rather engage in other industries than flower planting with superior climate and favorable geographical location. Some young people think that planting flowers and trees is inseparable from "agriculture". They are afraid of being dirty and tired. They don't want to go to flower farms and nurseries to learn skills and start their own businesses, but they are proud to be waiters in restaurants in the city and dad's teahouse. According to insiders, the geographical conditions of planting tropical flowers in Zhanjiang are similar to ours, but not as superior as ours. They are our main competitors, but they have a strong sense of developing flower industry and a strong atmosphere. We are not as good as Zhanjiang in processing.
(three) in the production, processing, sales, scientific research and other aspects did not form a good system.
At present, flower producers' associations, federations and other trade organizations in our city are not established and perfect, and there is a lack of flower research institutions. Production, processing, sales and scientific research have not formed a good system, and the resources of all aspects of the flower industry in our city have not been well integrated, thus reducing operating costs and improving overall competitiveness. All flower companies are decentralized.
4. Some thoughts on accelerating the development of flower production in our city.
Based on the above investigation and analysis, we believe that at present, the government should vigorously cultivate the flower industry as a new agricultural economic growth point, put it on the agenda as an important work of agriculture, attach importance to the production of flowers such as pig breeding and out-of-season melons and vegetables, and take practical measures to promote it.
(1) Strengthen overall planning.
If the industry wants to develop greatly, planning must go ahead. It is suggested that the government should take the lead, with the participation of relevant departments, experts and representatives of leading enterprises, formulate a comprehensive long-term plan for the development of flower industry in our city, and set aside some places as permanent flower planting bases and trading markets, and strictly implement them. Phoenix Flower City covers an area of 1 100 mu, and 68 flower management enterprises inside and outside the province have been introduced. At present, it is the largest flower trading market in our province, located in Binyahu Development Zone, with convenient transportation and superior geographical position. We know through investigation that Hainan Phoenix Flower City Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Hainan Phoenix Group. Due to the development of the city, the land price of Huacheng has appreciated, and the income from operating the flower market is definitely not better than that from real estate development. They are worried that with the continuous appreciation of land prices, Phoenix Flower City can be preserved as a permanent flower market.
(two) to strengthen publicity and guidance, and create a good atmosphere for the development of flower industry.
Combine the development of flower industry with the adjustment and optimization of agricultural industrial structure, absorbing rural labor force, increasing farmers' income and improving the quality of life of urban and rural people, and combine it with the construction of tropical garden cities and the development of eco-tourism, publicize and guide the economic benefits and social significance of developing flower industry, unify understanding, create a good atmosphere, and attract more people, especially local farmers, to join the flower industry in our city.
(3) Give support in terms of policies and funds.
First, the government adopts preferential financial and credit policies to support the development of flower industry; Second, continue to carry out small loans for rural agricultural operations to solve the problem of farmers' starting capital and liquidity difficulties; Third, adopt more preferential policies to encourage diversification of investment and solve the funding problem of flower industry development.
(4) Give full play to the role of leading enterprises and drive farmers to engage in flower planting.
There are many large-scale enterprises and production bases engaged in flower production and management in our city, with well-informed market information, strong capital and technical force, and achieved good scale benefits. It is necessary to give full play to the leading role of a leading enterprise and a place, encourage and support joint ways such as "company+farmers", organize scattered farmers to form a larger market subject, reduce the blindness and risk of individual farmers' production and operation, safeguard their reasonable interests and mobilize their planting enthusiasm. In this way, more people will grow and more farmers will benefit.
(five) establish and improve the relevant industry institutions, form a production and management system, and improve the overall competitiveness of flowers in our city.
The competition in the flower market is fierce and the price fluctuates greatly. Information, characteristics, quality, quantity and cost are the main factors to win the competition. It is necessary to establish and improve flower producers' associations, federations and other industry organizations, strengthen the communication between industry management and peers, form a good system of production, processing, sales and scientific research, integrate all aspects of resources of the flower industry in our city, reduce operating costs and improve overall competitiveness.
(6) Strengthening plant quarantine and epidemic prevention.
With the development of flower industry, the introduction, development and circulation of new flower varieties will be more frequent, and various diseases and insect pests will follow. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen plant quarantine and epidemic prevention to prevent the introduction of diseases and pests such as Brontispa longissima and ensure the healthy development of flower industry in our city.
