Chapter 393 Black Forest Farm
On June 28, sign in and get a piece of land in the capital Berlin.
This is the second piece of land that An Yunxi has obtained since coming to Germany. The first one was a piece of land in Munich that she was rewarded on the first day she arrived in Munich.
On June 29, Sign in to acquire a 20% stake in Rostwin.
An Yunxi checked the information of this company. It was founded in 1970 and is headquartered in Hamburg. It is the fifth largest shipping company among the world's top ten container shipping companies.
Shipping is a big cake that everyone wants to take a bite of.
Take Rostewen for example. Last year, its revenue was $20.8 billion and its profit was $2.53 billion.
Even for An Yunxi, it is a very good industry.
On June 30th, sign in to receive a piece of land in Hamburg.
It turns out to be another Hamburg industry. It seems that the system is optimistic about this city.
If you think about it carefully, there are actually clues to follow and it is easy to understand.
Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany, is located in northern Germany, with an area of about 755 square kilometers and a population of about 1.9455 million.
The city is famous for its port, which is the second largest port in Europe and the ninth largest in the world. It is known as "Germany's gateway to the world."
The economy is dominated by high-tech, logistics, precision manufacturing and information industries. It is also an important financial center and media center.
No matter how you look at it, this city's development potential is still very good.
With the sign-in completed on the last day of June, you can receive another monthly achievement reward.
Maybe because An Yunxi was in Germany, the reward this time was actually a German industry - the German Black Forest Farm.
Farm? This was also the first time that An Yunxi received an asset reward such as a farm.
An Yunxi knew that Germany's organic agriculture was world-famous.
This Black Forest Farm located in Hesse, Germany, is an early practitioner of the German concept of "ecological agriculture". The farm has been famous since the millennium and now receives dozens of delegations from various countries for visits and study every year.
Such a farm has now become her private property.
Not bad, not bad. An Yunxi really likes this kind of industry.
In terms of scale, the Black Forest Farm has a total of 520 hectares of land, which is considered a large farm in Germany.
Of the 520 hectares, approximately 350 hectares are used for growing crops and 150 hectares are grassland and forest.
In addition, the farm raises more than 100 dairy cows, more than 200 chickens, five horses and more than 2,000 pigs.
After communicating with the person in charge of the farm over the phone, An Yunxi basically understood the basic situation of the farm.
Black Forest is not just a farm, as it has opened five organic food supermarkets in several cities near Frankfurt, selling organic pork, milk, eggs, processed grains, etc. produced by itself or distributed on behalf of others.
As the Black Forest supermarket became more and more famous, it also began to try to sell its physical store products online.
The Black Forest Farm is most famous for its "100% pure ecological agriculture".
Why is it said to be 100% ecological? Because the production method of this farm is stricter than the EU bio standards.
You know, in Germany, it is not easy to obtain a "bio" production license.
According to regulations, farmers should learn the detailed requirements of the EU or Germany on bio agricultural production on their own and meet the standards in all aspects.
Then an application is submitted to an agricultural monitoring company commissioned by the German federal government. The monitoring company will inspect and audit the farm and issue a "bio" license if it is qualified.
After that, the monitoring company will send independent inspection experts to the farm for inspection every year, with or without prior notice.
If there are any problems, a rectification plan will be proposed immediately. If the standards are not met after two rectification requests, a fine will be imposed and the "bio" license will be revoked.
Paul, the head of the farm, told An Yunxi that there are several such agricultural testing companies in Germany, and the Black Forest Farm needs to pay them several thousand euros in testing fees every year.
What was a little surprising to An Yunxi was that although the Black Forest had a very large area of crop cultivation, the focus of its operations was pig farming.
According to Paul, the profit from crops is too low, raising cattle is risky, and poultry does not produce much, so it is more cost-effective to raise pigs.
The previous boss also made many attempts before finally deciding on the current business strategy.
In this regard, An Yunxi had no intention of changing anything.
All she wants from the farm is for it to not lose money.
Here, there is the "most advanced" pig house in Germany, built on a small hill.
The pig house has separate eating areas, sleeping areas, drinking areas and excretion areas.
Every year the farm uses 60 hectares of land to grow legumes to provide high-quality protein feed for pigs.
Legumes have the ability to naturally fix nitrogen, so they do not require any artificial fertilizers and are a purely natural pig feed.
In addition, the pig manure is collected by a mechanically driven cleaning system into a 1,500 cubic meter manure pond, which can be used as natural fertilizer for other crops on the farm.
