In the autumn wind, across the fields of tungdong, a season of pearl peanuts fell asleep in the depths of the moyung hills, bearing harvest moments. On 15 september, there was a busy scene at the pearl peanuts plantation in the autonomous pine boulevard town of copper inn. As a string of pearl peanuts fragranced with clay is uprooted, and a sweetly full peanut comes out of the ground, the farmers are systematically picking and putting baskets, and on the ground the joy of the harvest is spilling over。
Unlike in previous years, this year, when peanuts have not been harvested, they have long been known for their existence. Summer peanuts, autumn harvest "goldum bean", the head of the base, zheng huadian, said, "this year, this "gin bean" is settled." in the past, peanuts were the problem of marketing, and now, with the signing of purchase agreements with companies, farmers need to focus on planting and not worry about marketing problems。
Peaches have a tradition of growing peanuts, but in the past, a one-house rough management model led to home-grown peanuts, which were difficult to secure in terms of quality and prices. Today, pinenuts are actively building a platform for production and marketing through an innovative model of “government-led, business-based farmers, order-backed”. Proprietary enterprises, cooperatives and farmers enter into legally valid contract orders that specify the variety, quantity, quality and price of the species, and that truly achieves “targeting and marketing”。
“the purchase order was signed, the market was sold and the unit price was higher than in previous years.” zheng jinhua calculated an “additional collection”: seeds, fertilizers are provided free of charge by companies, as well as home visits by specialized technicians, which not only saves costs but also increases production. This year, 500 acres of peanuts are expected to produce a total of 800,000 yuan。
Under the overall supervision of provincial, municipal and county agricultural experts, the planting of groundnuts was carried out in the previous period using machines, significantly reducing labour costs. The effects of adverse weather, such as drought, have been effectively addressed through such initiatives as precision fertilization, scientific control of planting density and protection against weeds, resulting in high productivity. Pearl peanut acre production rose from 800 to 1,000 pounds to 1,200 to 1,400 pounds, an increase of about 20 per cent。
In order to further widen the market trail, local efforts have been made to build “on-line plus below-line” marketing systems. On the line, a live team of more than 10 people carries the goods, ordering an average of more than 5,000 daily orders, steady sales and steady increases in unit prices; and under the line, relying on wholesale markets, merchants, etc., to ensure that peanuts move quickly to the consumer table。
As a geographical symbol product of the city of copper inn, peach pearl peanuts are highly favoured by the market, thanks to their unique advantage of being luminous, full of nuts and sweet tastes. In 2025, peach pearl peanut cultivation expanded to over 30,000 acres, covering 28 townships throughout the county, and industrial radiation effects continued to increase。
“the order chain is endless, and the product is best sold throughout the country.” zhang zakun, the director of guizhou peach source specialty ltd., dozens of kilometres away, is busy connecting logistics and sending well-packaged pearl peanuts across the country。
In order to play the role of “earth production” as an engine of population growth, pineapples focus on the conservation and use of the country's high-quality seed resources, and build up their business base, building on a whole-industry chain of pearl species, planting, processing, research and development, and marketing, and nurturing indigenous leading enterprises。
Today, peach pearl peanuts have established a complete industrial chain of “plant-harvest-sale” and become the “gold industry” of local agricultural efficiency and increased farmers' revenues. Currently, the production of pine flowers has led directly to the employment of more than 100,000 people, with a focus on labour spending of over $20 million. (reporter pan jiaben)
