[You look good with a smile] Standardized farming of 10,000 mu of medicinal materials and medicine farmers in Minxian County, Gansu Province enjoys the order "subscription"
[Explanation] Recently, at 6:30 in the morning, it was already a lively scene in the Chinese Angelica City in Min County, Gansu, the "Millennium Medicine Hometown". More than a hundred small trucks loaded with astragalus and Angelica were already parked. People in the market People come and go, asking prices, and shouting one after another. Jing Mingfeng, a 42-year-old medicinal farmer, drove a full load of 1 ton of medicinal materials and set off from home at five o'clock, just to occupy a "golden area" in the center of the market and open a good "zhang".
The "Chinese Angelica City" in Min County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province covers an area of 400 acres. It is a multi-functional and comprehensive economic development zone for Chinese medicinal materials that integrates medicinal materials trading, warehousing, freight, and decoction pieces exhibition. The largest trading center for the production of Chinese medicinal materials, every morning, farmers and pharmacists from all directions come here to "Taobao".

I arrived at the market at about 5:30 in the morning. In March and April, I have to get up at 2 o’clock and arrive at the market at 3 o’clock. Otherwise, you will have nowhere to stand when you arrive later. There are probably more than 300 vehicles in the Astragalus market.
[Explanation] In recent years, in order to standardize the planting management of Chinese medicinal materials and ensure the authentic quality of Chinese medicinal materials from the source, the production and planting scale of Minxian plus Dalian area, this year standardized planting area accounts for 80% of the total planting area of Chinese medicinal materials. 18 towns and villages will build 23 green standardized planting demonstration bases of concentrated contiguous Chinese medicinal materials over 500 mu.
Villager Qiu Kewen told reporters that he owns 6 acres of land and joined the village cooperative in the form of a share of land three years ago. Not only will he receive free organic fertilizers and biological pesticides, but also all the medicinal materials collected will be sold at a price higher than the market price. The price is sold to cooperatives, and even if the upward trend falls, the market price will be used as a guarantee.

(Previously) At 6 or 7 in the morning, at 5 or 6 in the morning, I got up and drove to the market in the morning. The price was not good. Since joining the cooperative, I don’t have to sell it in the market in the morning, just get up and bring it to the cooperative. Just sell it, and the price is better than the market.
[Explanation] It is understood that since the establishment of the cooperative in 2016, the number of members has increased from 175 to 456. Nowadays, cooperatives are implementing the "order-based agriculture" model in the contiguous planting demonstration bases, using the role of a "bridge" to closely link the planting and processing of the original place of origin with the sales in the national terminal market, and adopt the concept of "production in the household, operation in the community" Various methods such as capital stock purchase, order farming, employment absorption, product stock purchase, and purchasing agency sales have driven poor households out of poverty and become rich.
