Throughout the long journey of village development, Lin Yueru has been a resilient leader, balancing family and career with great difficulty, while the support of her family has been her strongest backing. Although the path of agricultural product processing is fraught with challenges, the gradual accumulation of brand building and increasing market acceptance through the trials and tribulations of market promotion, like the dawn before sunrise, foreshadows the crucial first step that the processing industry is about to take.
At dawn, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, gently bathing every inch of the village and illuminating the agricultural product processing workshop that held the villagers' hopes. Lin Yue stood at the workshop entrance, taking a deep breath. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of processed products, an aroma brimming with hope. Looking at the busy villagers inside, she was filled with emotion. The agricultural product processing industry was like a newly sprouted seedling, fragile yet brimming with vitality.
During this period, Lin Yue and the villagers poured their hearts and souls into opening up the market for their processed products. From conceiving the brand story to designing the trademark, from holding offline tasting events to fully launching online marketing, every step was exceptionally arduous. In terms of brand building, they no longer simply talked about the naturalness and handcrafted nature of the products, but delved into the village's history and culture and the origins of the agricultural products. After consulting a large amount of information, Lin Yue discovered that the village had been cultivating this specialty fruit for over a hundred years, and it had once been presented as tribute to the royal family. This discovery thrilled her, and she incorporated this story into the brand's promotion.
During a meeting with the marketing team, Lin Yue excitedly said, "Our brand has a deeper cultural foundation, which is the biggest difference between us and other similar products. We need to tell this story well, letting consumers know that they are not just tasting jam and dried fruit, but also the taste of our village's centuries-old heritage." Amin's eyes lit up, "Sister Lin Yue, this is fantastic! We can print images of ancient tributes on the packaging; it will definitely be very attractive." Everyone nodded in agreement; this new brand element gave them even more confidence in their marketing efforts.
Meanwhile, the tasting event's impact on market acceptance continued to grow. In surrounding towns, more and more people began talking about the village's processed agricultural products. One woman who attended the tasting event wrote on a local food forum: "I have never tasted such pure jam. The rich fruity aroma and just the right amount of sweetness made me feel as if I were in an orchard. Moreover, after learning about the stories behind these products and their production processes, I felt that each jar of jam was incredibly precious." This post received a lot of attention and replies, with many people showing great interest in the village's processed products.
As brand awareness increased, orders began pouring in. The village's processing workshop became even busier, with villagers who used to only help out during the off-season now almost all dedicating themselves full-time to processing. The once quiet village is now filled with a lively production atmosphere. The elderly are also busy, helping to sort raw materials. Although their movements are slow, their eyes reveal their anticipation for this industry. One old woman smiled and said, "I never expected our village's products to be so popular. It's wonderful!"
To meet market demand, Lin Yue and the village leaders decided to expand production. They applied for a bank loan, purchased new processing equipment, and expanded the workshop. The new equipment was more advanced, significantly increasing production efficiency. A-Qiang, who operated the new jam-filling machine, watched with curiosity and excitement as the machine quickly and accurately filled the bottles. "This machine is amazing! Before, we filled them by hand, which was slow and tiring. Now it's so much more convenient," he said to the villagers beside him.
As production expanded, Lin Yue realized the importance of personnel management. She organized training for the villagers, including not only training on operating the new equipment but also on safety and product quality awareness. During the training, Lin Yue solemnly told everyone, "Our products are popular in the market because of their quality. Now that production is on a larger scale, everyone must strictly adhere to the operating procedures to ensure that every step is problem-free." The villagers nodded earnestly, deeply understanding the importance of this industry to the village.
With the start of the processing industry, the village also ushered in new employment opportunities. Some young people who used to work in the city returned to their hometown after hearing that the processing industry in the village was developing well. Among them was a young man named Xiaohui, who had studied marketing in the city. After returning to the village, he approached Lin Yue, "Sister Lin Yue, I have some marketing experience in the city, and I want to contribute to the development of the village's industry." Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder happily, "That's great, Xiaohui, we need someone like you." After joining the marketing team, Xiaohui put forward many new ideas, such as cooperating with local tourist attractions to launch tourist souvenir packages.
The initial stages of the industry weren't without their challenges. While the introduction of new equipment improved production efficiency, it also brought some technical problems. On one occasion, the fruit drying equipment malfunctioned, causing a batch of dried fruit to over-dry and suffer from a poor taste. Lin Yue was extremely anxious and immediately contacted the equipment supplier's technicians. While waiting for the technicians to arrive, she and the village's repairman inspected the equipment. Lin Yue frowned, blaming herself, "It's all my fault; I didn't do the necessary maintenance and inspection beforehand." The repairman comforted her, "Lin Yue, don't worry too much. This is a common problem that can occur when using new equipment. We'll solve it together."
After technicians arrived and inspected the equipment, they discovered a sensor malfunction. Replacing the sensor restored normal operation. This incident served as a wake-up call for Lin Yue, prompting her to develop a detailed equipment maintenance plan and assign dedicated personnel to oversee daily inspections and upkeep. She also established an emergency response team to ensure a rapid response to any problems that arise.
