In early 1995, when the socialist market economy was booming, Shandong Province seized the opportunity. After several years of practice, about 30% of counties and cities, leading industries and products had implemented industrialized operations. .

In the eastern and central regions, which started earlier, this form of business has become dominant. From the perspective of industries and products, the integrated operations of livestock, aquatic products, fruits, silkworm cocoons, tobacco, peanuts, building materials, etc. are progressing rapidly and on a large scale. Some have broken through the boundaries of region, ownership, and industry, and have developed into large-scale, deep-level, and high level development.

With agricultural products processing, refrigeration, transportation and marketing enterprises as the leaders, we implement integrated operations of production, processing and sales around an industry or product. Leading enterprises are connected to domestic and foreign markets, and are connected to agricultural product bases. The bases are connected to farmers, forming a loose or tight community of interests.

Shandong Jinmei Food Co., Ltd., the first Zhucheng city company to implement the integrated operation of broiler production, processing and marketing in Shandong Province, was a small foreign trade enterprise with only more than 100 employees a few years ago. Support funds, implementation of purchase protection price and "four-to-door" service of chick distribution, feed supply, disease prevention and control, purchase and transportation, have driven more than 4,000 broiler raising professional households, raising 26 million broiler chickens annually.

By the end of 1993, Shandong’s leading enterprises for processing agricultural products such as meat, grain, oil, vegetables, fruits, and aquatic products had grown to 10,220, achieving an output value of 59.7 billion yuan and a profit of 4.3 billion yuan, driving the development of agricultural products. The base covers an area of ??more than 50 million acres and connects more than 6 million farmers, accounting for about 40% of the province's farmers. We see from the survey that a leading enterprise is not only a production and processing center, but also an information center, scientific research center, and service center.

Through the development of agricultural product markets, especially professional wholesale markets, regional specialized production and integrated production, processing and marketing operations will be promoted.

The vegetable wholesale market built in Shouguang City sells 1 billion kilograms of vegetables annually and has a turnover of 800 million yuan. Its products are sold to more than 190 large and medium-sized cities in 24 provinces and municipalities, and are sold in 180 large cities across the country. Sales outlets have been set up in Zhongcheng City.

In addition to Shandong, vegetables from 18 provinces and cities are resold here, and vegetable sales from other places account for more than one-third of the total sales. At that time, this wholesale market had become the largest vegetable trading center, information exchange center and price formation center in the country. The development of the market has led to the construction of bases, and the city's total vegetable area has expanded from 150,000 acres in 1983 to 460,000 acres now.

Start by utilizing local resources and developing leading products to gradually form a regional leading industry. This type of dragon-shaped industrial entity is particularly common in the central and western regions of Shandong. Hanting District, Weifang City, located in the central region, takes advantage of traditional resources and uses towns and villages as regions to cultivate leading products, expand business scale, and form industrial groups. The district has established 15 leading industries including grain, cotton, vegetables, seawater and freshwater aquaculture, bristle processing, handicrafts, electric blankets, New Year picture kites, leather processing, and grass and willow weaving, with an output value of 1.5 billion yuan.

The reason why rural industrialized management shows great advantages and strong vitality is fundamentally because this form of management is conducive to solving several problems faced by my country’s rural areas in the process of transforming into a socialist market economy. a basic contradiction.

This form of management builds a bridge between farmers and the market through various leading enterprises, connecting agricultural product production with domestic and foreign markets, thereby stabilizing and improving the household contract system. , bringing the rural economy into the track of socialized large-scale production.

Since 1991, Laiyang City has established 14 foreign-funded enterprises for processing agricultural and sideline products, organizing the production and processing of vegetables and fruits according to international standards. At present, 36 varieties of vegetables have entered the international market. In 1994, it exported 40,000 tons of quick-frozen vegetables and 2,000 tons of concentrated juice, earning US$30 million in foreign exchange. Its export volume ranked first at the county level in the country for three consecutive years.

In order to occupy a favorable position in market competition, every dragon-shaped enterprise entity does everything possible to use high-tech and high-tech technologies at the forefront of world science and technology in all aspects of breeding, cultivation and management, processing, and storage. Practical technology. Zhucheng Tobacco Leaf Re-curing Factory is an export-oriented enterprise that provides raw materials for Marlboro cigarettes to the American companies Philip and Morris. They use the latest varieties, scientific formulas, advanced technology and modern processing equipment, and implement strict modern management.

Since the establishment of the factory in 1987, the annual roasting capacity has increased from 200,000 quintals to 1.6 million quintals, and the foreign exchange earnings from exports have increased from US$6 million to US$25 million.

Implementing industrialized management and linking scattered small-scale operations of each household through leading enterprises to form larger-scale industrial clusters and industrial chains not only maintains the stability of household contract operations, but also implements An important way to operate on a moderate scale.

Zhucheng Jinmei Food Co., Ltd. supports farmers to raise broiler chickens. Each household raises several thousand or tens of thousands of broilers. The scale is not very large. But by connecting all households, it will form a breeding of tens of millions of chickens. scale. We received an important revelation from the survey. The large-scale operation of agriculture should not be limited to the large-scale operation of concentrated land. Through the organization and alliance of industries, the formation of industrial groups and the expansion of the scale of operations are also a scale that adapts to the needs of modern socialized large-scale production. The way of doing business.

The above shows that the central government’s policies have benefited hundreds of millions of farmers. From the economic system reform in rural areas of Shandong Province, we can see that the market economic system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
