On 24 april, a series of blueberry trees were growing and full of branches, a full-blown fruit sprout covered the fields, and the local fruit farmers were busy working on a fine tubing tree and a busy pre-harvest scene。
“this year, blueberry light is on the line, and it's going to be a beautiful year, and it's going to be ready in a month or so, and it's going to be a good price for it!” said ari, a fruit-cruising fruit-tree-maker. The upcoming harvest season for small blueberries has also opened the way for the harvest of the specialty fruit and fruit industry in lushan county, which is a vivid microcosm of the local contribution to rural revitalization。
In recent years, lushan county has the advantage of a mountain ecosystem based on the “seven mountains, one water, two crops” industry, with its five characteristic fruit industries, such as peas, peaches, grapes, chestnuts and blueberries, which are driven by branding, chain development and technological and technological assistance, to promote the expansion, standardization and branding of the forest fruit industry and to make small forest fruit a “gold fruit” that boosts the growth of the population and contributes to the high-quality development of the county agriculture。
Led by dominant varieties, the forest fruit industry in lushan county has been scaled up to build a global and synergistic industry pattern. At the centre of the industry is dong zhou jilling, which has 100,000 acres of land and 350 million pounds of annual production, with dong zhou zhu yi pear successfully certified as a national geographical sign in 2020. Peach industry subdivisions are highly effective, with the distinctive and uneven development of poaching peaches, walnuts and poachers, among which bear-backed “big trench peaches” are certified by the national agricultural geographical marker, with a steady increase in productivity in the country's large and medium-sized cities, with the production value of the three peach industries exceeding billions a year. Grapes, chestnuts, blueberry industries have moved forward and flourished in more than 10,000 acres, with an annual production value of $150 million, and the geographical indications of the country's agricultural products have been evaluated as “spreading mountain grapes”; chestnut cultivation has grown over 62 million acres, creating a special black-oil chestnut plantation; the blueberry industry has grown over more than 10 years, growing 10,000 acres throughout the county and producing 2,000 tons annually, and has become an influential core base for blueberry cultivation in the south-west。
The extension of the industrial chain and the improvement of the facilities are central to the efficiency and protection against market risks of the lushan fruit industry. With regard to the storage and deep processing of fruit, the construction of a cold chain storage and processing project has been vigorously promoted, with the construction of 25 mobile and 14 ordinary cold storage units in pears, the successful operation of a chiller and accompaniment workshops, and a significant increase in the total capacity of forest fruit storage to effectively address the challenges of fresh fruit preservation and stabilize market prices。
At the same time, it has been actively involved in the introduction of a precision processing project whereby 50 tons of pears and 5,000 pounds of japanese pear are treated on a daily basis. This has not only been effective in stretching the chain, but has also completely resolved the pains of the marketing of secondary fruit and fruit, leading to the transformation of fruit products from a single fresh sale to a sophisticated processing process. In addition, smart orchards, electrician logistics bases are being constructed and run simultaneously, and brands such as “ten pears” in lusan, “home cai chang” and “bueshan black oil chestnuts” are phoning the national market and widening the distribution of fruit in both directions。
Brand certification and demonstration creation have given strong impetus to the high-quality development of the lushan fruit industry. The certification of green foods and geo-marked products has been continuously promoted in the field, thanks to the excellent ecological and scientific cultivation techniques. The production of geographical markers in the four countries of zhang lianggang, dong zhou zhou zhuang pear, and peaches of the great age, “foot mountain grapes” has led to the development of the industry. With the advantage of the grape industry, zhang zhang zhang village was awarded a national “one village, one village” model, which led to the integration of 15 townships and more than 3,500 farm families into the fruit-growing and ancillary industries throughout the county, forming a model of close convergence of interests of the “foundation + cooperative + farmer” which allowed the population to increase their employment and sustain their wealth at home。
From scattered cultivation to scale development, from fresh fruit sales to full-chain operations, the lushan forest fruit industry has emerged from a high-quality development path of ecological beauty, industrial boom and rich district agriculture. As a next step, lushan county will continue to cultivate its specialty forest fruit industry, continuously optimize its seed structure, strengthen its technological and technological support, improve the whole industry chain, deepen branding promotion, promote the deep integration and development of the agro-engineering brigade, allow the forest fruit industry to continue to release the rich and powerful villages ' benefits and build a solid industrial foundation for the overall revitalization of the village。
