In Rwanda, the Kagame government has been very busy for several days.
They also want to finalize various cooperations as soon as possible. Fortunately, Kagame is now a man of his word, and many things are finally signed after discussion.
In terms of agriculture, Kagame and his team also discussed carefully and communicated with Huasheng Agricultural Services Company repeatedly.
In the end, the Rwandan government and Huasheng Agricultural Services Company reached an agreement.
Huasheng Agricultural Services Company leases land in Rwanda for a long term of 30 years, and can continue to renew the contract after 30 years.
The rent is not calculated based on a fixed amount of money. The Rwandan government uses physical objects as a reference standard and charges 1,500 kilograms of corn per hectare of land as rent.
One hectare is equal to 15 mu, which is equivalent to the rent of 100 kilograms of corn per mu of land per year.
It is obvious that Kagame and his team have discussed carefully. The exchange rate of Rwanda's currency may change greatly, but the international corn price may not change greatly.
Moreover, corn is the staple food for Rwanda, and they don't have to worry about having food in their hands. They can get 100 kilograms of corn per mu of land without doing anything, which is very cost-effective for Rwanda.
For Huasheng Agricultural Service Company, it is also very cost-effective. One mu of land only pays 100 kilograms of corn rent per year, which is very cost-effective.
You should know that the yield of genetically modified corn of Huasheng Agricultural Company is as high as 1,500 kilograms per mu, and 100 kilograms of corn is nothing.
What's more, this is a tropical area. In Rwanda, corn can be planted twice a year.
One mu of land, two seasons a year, can harvest 3,000 kilograms of corn, and the rent is only 100 kilograms of corn, which is very cost-effective, like picking it up for free.
Both parties felt that they had made a profit, so the contract was signed quite smoothly.
The area of the first batch of land is also very large. Rwanda directly signed a land lease of 100,000 hectares with Huasheng Agricultural Service Company.
100,000 hectares, 1.5 million mu of land, this area is not small. However, Rwanda now has a small population and a lot of vacant land, and these lands are now nationalized and are all wasteland. They don't have the ability to cultivate them themselves, so they might as well rent them out.
100,000 hectares, one hectare rents 1,500 kilograms of corn per year.
Rwanda can get 150 million kilograms of corn per year just from the rent of this land, which is a very large amount.
If each person consumes 300 kilograms of food per year, these 150 million kilograms of corn can feed 500,000 people.
In fact, in Rwanda, each person definitely does not consume 300 kilograms of staple food per year, even if there are 150 kilograms, it is good. If calculated based on 150 kilograms, then these land rents can feed 1 million people.
These grains are too important for Rwanda, and after the rent is signed, the first year's rent will be paid immediately. Although the land has not been cultivated yet, Huasheng Agricultural Group can directly buy grain from the international market and ship it over, or pay money directly to the Rwandan government, focusing on freedom and flexibility.
Not only that, in order to develop its own agriculture, Rwanda has directly implemented a zero-tariff policy for many agricultural-related items.
Pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, agricultural machinery, etc., these things are directly zero-tariff in Rwanda. Rwanda also has its own considerations. Anyway, there is nothing in its own country. Zero tariffs on these things can directly reduce the cost of farming for its own people.
With so much land in their own home, their own people have to learn to farm.
Moreover, Kagame is also preparing to learn from China to establish some state-owned farms in Rwanda, so zero tariffs on agricultural products can better develop its own agriculture.
In addition to contracting 1.5 million acres of land, Huasheng Agricultural Company also signed an agreement with Rwanda.
This is a resource exploitation agreement that allows Huasheng Agricultural Services Company to exploit Rwanda's peat resources.
Peat is a treasure.
Peat is a product of the development process of swamps, also known as "peat", also called "peat", formed in the Quaternary period, and is composed of the remains of swamp plants that cannot be completely decomposed and accumulated under watery anaerobic conditions. It contains a lot of water, undecomposed plant residues, humus, and some minerals. Peat is the coal with the lowest degree of coalification, the most primitive state of coal, and organic matter.
In many countries, they use peat as fuel. This is also the case in Rwanda. Some people dig out peat, dry it, and then use it as firewood, just like cow dung.
In the eyes of Rwandans, this thing is worthless. There is a lot of this in Rwanda, it is true. In Rwanda, the peat reserves are as high as 13.5 billion cubic meters.
At the same time, this thing is also a renewable resource. After you dig it, after a few years through plant residuesAccumulation will form again.
What is worthless in the eyes of Rwanda is a treasure in the eyes of Huasheng Agricultural Company.
This thing is the highest quality organic fertilizer. Peat is rich in nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, manganese and other elements. It is a pure natural organic substance. It is a sterile, non-toxic, pollution-free, pollution-free, and residue-free green substance. This thing is organic fertilizer after a little processing.
In the original time and space, China in the future will list this thing as one of the eleven major non-metallic strategic resources. This shows how precious this thing is.
Peat has irreplaceable characteristics and advantages of other mineral resources. The organic matter content of peat is as high as 90%-95%, which is 2-3 times the organic matter content of commercial organic fertilizer and livestock and poultry manure. Peat contains 30%-60% humic acid, which is 6-20 times the humic acid content of commercial organic fertilizer and livestock and poultry manure. Peat is the best soil fertilization material among existing agricultural inputs.
Peat is aerated, water-permeable, has a large buffer capacity, and has strong water and fertilizer retention capabilities. It is the best raw material for substrate preparation in the world and an indispensable basic raw material for seedling production and substrate cultivation. Peat is free of pathogens, insect eggs, grass seeds, hormones, and antibiotics, and does not spread pests and diseases. Peat is a truly natural, green, healthy, and organic agricultural input without any environmental burden.
In the original time and space, China's use of this thing has reached the extreme.
In 2033, China developed a special fermentation method that mixed a certain proportion of peat, commercial organic fertilizer, and livestock and poultry manure together and fermented them with a special catalyst.
After fermentation, higher quality peat will be produced. This peat has a higher content of various substances and retains the organic properties of peat.
This fermented peat can greatly improve and repair the soil. The soil damaged by chemical fertilizers can be repaired with this peat, and the effect is very good.
At the same time, using this peat to grow organic crops will have a higher quality of crops. In the original time and space, the fermented peat organic fertilizer was more expensive than the usual compound fertilizer urea.
Holding a golden bowl to beg for food, this is what Rwanda is like now. This is the sadness of having no technology. Without technology, even if there is a gold nugget, you don’t know how to dig it, and you can only sell it at a low price!
