If the industry prospers, the countryside prospers; if the industry flourishes, the people become wealthy. In recent years, Weichang Manchu and Mongol Autonomous County Binfen Potato Starch Co., Ltd. has leveraged the advantages of Weichang's distinctive potato agricultural resources to innovatively implement the integrated water and fertilizer management model of "Base + Farmers + Company." It has built a large-scale, specialized, and industrialized green potato industry system, driving farmers' income growth through industrial development and aiding rural revitalization, blazing a trail of win-win development featuring enterprise growth, farmer prosperity, and industrial upgrading.
As a local deep-processing potato enterprise, Binfen Starch has always been rooted in the local area and deeply engaged in the rural economy, relying on Weichang's unique advantages in potato planting to open up a whole industry chain channel from the field to the workshop. To control raw material quality from the source and guarantee farmer income, the company innovatively implemented a standardized planting assistance mechanism, adopting the "Three Unifications" model of "unified seed purchasing, unified agricultural technical guidance, and unified product purchase." It established a long-term, stable, and close production-sales cooperative relationship with surrounding farmers, solving problems such as narrow sales channels, unstable prices, and lack of technology for farmers planting potatoes.
In terms of planting base construction, the company has self-built a standardized potato planting base of 8,000 mu. The base implements integrated water and fertilizer scientific planting technology, standardizes planting processes, and strictly controls planting standards to ensure green and high-yield potato raw materials from the source. At the same time, the enterprise radiates to surrounding areas with its own base as the core, covering 40 administrative villages in 6 surrounding townships with raw materials, forming a wide-ranging and large-scale raw material supply system. This provides sufficient, stable, and high-quality raw material guarantees for the enterprise's starch processing production, and also drives the standardized upgrading of the regional potato planting industry.
The enterprise always upholds its social responsibility, making linking and leading farmers and helping them increase income an important mission of development, thereby driving farmers to become prosperous. Currently, the company has cumulatively driven 3,312 surrounding households to develop the potato planting industry, including 500 households of people lifted out of poverty and 1,516 individuals, helping to consolidate poverty alleviation results and revitalize rural industries. The stable guaranteed price purchase mechanism and professional agricultural technical assistance allow farmers to plant without worries, effectively increasing the added value of potato planting. This helps cooperative farmers increase their annual per capita income by nearly 10,000 yuan, truly making the characteristic potato industry a "wealth-generating industry" for the people.
In the future, Binfen Starch will continue to deepen the "Base + Farmers + Company" industrial model, further expand the scale of planting bases, broaden the coverage of assistance, optimize the agricultural technical service system, and continue to drive more farmers to achieve stable income growth relying on the potato industry. It will fully promote the quality and efficiency improvement of Weichang's characteristic potato industry, empowering rural revitalization with industrial strength.
