Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 44: Large area reclamation!
Parker then gave Wang Lu detailed information about sisal.

"Boss, you have already seen one of the most basic advantages of sisal, a tropical crude fiber plant. Ropes made of sisal fiber are very tough. In fact, sisal fiber is not only tough and strong in texture, but also corrosion-resistant and salt-alkali resistant. Therefore, its application scenarios are so many that you can’t imagine, even the cables used by the Marine Corps ships I served on are all sisal fiber products.”

"Sisal fiber is also used in the inner layers of car tires, mechanical conveyor belts, the rope cores of crane ropes, protective nets, rainproof cloths, woven bags, fishing nets, etc. It can be said that the annual demand for this stuff The quantity is quite large, and the global supply is now in short supply!”

After listening to Parker's words, Wang Lu suddenly realized that this sisal was really a good economic crop.

However, Wang Lu still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked without hesitation.

"Parker, since this sisal has so many uses, it must have a large output. You know what I need is a crop that can provide me with economic value. I don't want to work for a year and only earn a small profit. .”

Born in a mountain village, Wang Lu clearly understands the reason why low prices of grain hurt farmers. No matter how versatile sisal is, can it compare to the significance of food to mankind?My parents have been cultivating the land all their lives, and the profit they earn from digging food in the land is only a small amount every year. To put it bluntly, there are too many people growing food, and the output is too large, so the price has naturally dropped.

If it were really according to what Parker said, this sisal should have been fully and widely cultivated long ago, and the price would not be too high. Although he has a large area of ​​cultivable land on hand, the profit that can be earned when the planting area increases It should be good too.

But what Wang Lu needs to consider is the ratio of initial investment costs to later income. He doesn't want to do something with twice the result and half the result.

Parker waved his hands repeatedly, pointed to the rope woven with sisal fiber on the ground and said:

"Boss, this guy has certain requirements for the growing environment. First of all, its suitable growth temperature is around [-] to [-] degrees. This makes it difficult to grow in some areas with distinct seasons and large temperature differences throughout the year. In addition, other Some requirements have resulted in the international sisal market being in short supply."

Hearing this, Wang Lu's heart began to stir.

The temperature in our own pasture remains at more than 20 degrees all year round, which is obviously quite suitable for the growth of these sisals.

Of course, Wang Lu would not recklessly start building sisal just because of Parker's suggestion.

Then he went online to search for information about sisal, and the more he looked at it, the brighter the light in his eyes became!

It has to be said that the local reputation as a sisal kingdom is really not an exaggeration!
In addition to maintaining a constant temperature all year round, loose and fertile soil can provide the best living environment for sisal.

The amount of rainfall in the rainy season every year can ensure that the sisal is fully hydrated throughout the year. The only problem is that the precipitation is almost zero when the dry season comes every year.

However, sisal’s own advantages of being resistant to barrenness and drought can just offset this!
Everything shows that this land is very suitable for the growth of sisal.

As for the market issue of sisal, the information Wang Lu retrieved was the same as what Parker said. The international demand for sisal is huge every year, and the current sisal production around the world is temporarily unable to meet the demand.

In other words, as long as the sisal is successfully grown, there will be no worries about sales. Even Wang Lu's home country, China, imports a huge amount of sisal every year.

Wang Lu is not a fool who is blinded by profit. He will not blindly plant what he thinks are valuable crops on a large scale in his pasture.The principle of adapting to local conditions has long been deeply ingrained in his mind. At present, sisal, which has good economic value and is very suitable for the local soil and climate environment, is undoubtedly the best choice.

So Wang Lu made a decision without much hesitation: to plant sisal on a large scale in the pastures in the southern part of the Woulu Mountains!
Now the problem that had troubled Wang Lu for some time was finally solved.

Then he found Parker:

"Parker, I plan to plant sisal in a large area, but you know that my knowledge in this area is no better than yours. What do we need to prepare?"

After Parker thought for a moment, he immediately spoke:
"Obviously, land reclamation is the most basic work. The soil in the pasture is full of weeds and cannot be planted! But for such a large area of ​​​​reclamation, the Lovol 704 alone is not enough, so I think you should Just purchase bigger and more agricultural machinery!”

After pausing to collect his thoughts, Parker continued to speak slowly.

"There is also the issue of manpower. I don't know what you mean by large-area planting. If you are referring to the entire grassland in the southern Woulu Mountains, then I am afraid that our current manpower is far from enough. Even with the introduction of modernization The same goes for the machinery! This is a big problem!”

"There is also the security issue mentioned earlier. You know that once there is a big move in the ranch, there will be countless pairs of greedy eyes staring at us!"

After Parker finished speaking in an orderly manner, Wang Lu's expression became serious.

He knew very well that the problems Parker mentioned were real.

But with Wang Lu, giving up is impossible!
Leaving such a large piece of fertile land and leaving it vacant for a day would be Wang Lu's disrespect for his wonderful life of making more money and billions in the future!

"Leave the purchase of large farm equipment to you, Parker! Our ranch needs to be up and running as soon as possible so that it can be full of life! What I need is efficiency!"

Parker, who once worked on a farm, is undoubtedly the best candidate. In fact, Wang Lu has no other choice. Is it possible to count on the Halafa brothers and sisters?
In addition to agricultural machinery, Wang Lu also needs to purchase a large amount of sisal seeds.

The grassland in the entire southern Woulu Mountains accounts for about one-tenth of the pasture area, which is about [-] acres. After deducting the living area and the land occupied by the Dom River, the remaining area is also quite large, and the required swords The number of hemp seeds is also an astronomical figure.

But there is no need to worry now. After all, he has not even cultivated the land, nor has he recruited enough manpower. The sisal seeds purchased will not be of use for the time being.

However, you can pay attention to this matter in advance. Wang Lu also thought of Sanders, his personal lawyer.

As a well-known Dalu, he might know some people related to the sisal industry in this sisal kingdom.

Wang Lu called Sanders without any courtesy.
