Kim autumn in august, the fragrance of fruit is a good time for the grapefruit harvest. In the south of hong kong, where the three red beads of various orchards have grown and matured, and where a harvest is in sight, the farmers are taking advantage of the high market prices to gather the bellies。


On 30 august, journalists drove into the new village of the town of tashi, where they saw the tumbled grapefruit covered with branches and swayed with the wind. In the town of hashiura, the workers travel under the trees, with their hands covered in grapefruit and skilled in collecting grapefruit。

“the three-fruit grapefruits, with red meat, red fruit leather, red red skins in the back of the sack, are very popular in the market, with short cycles, high yields, fresh fruit, and soft and juicy. After several study visits to the field in 2021, he decided to introduce more than 700 three-cream grapefruits for trial seeding, and this year the orchards are entering the harvest period, with a total expected output of more than 30,000 pounds and a value of more than 60,000 yuan. At the same time, the base absorbs around-the-board workers, with an additional income of more than $20,000 per person per year。

“i work here in the orchard this year, with a monthly income of 1,600 or 7 and with a subsidy of more than 20,000 a year.”
In the village of xinping, wadong town, hong kong south district, a harvest of three red grapefruits, grown by a professional cooperative for the cultivation of manchang fruit, was also achieved. Standing on the back of the hill, looking, a grapefruit with a protective bag was hanging on a branch, bending over it。

The head of the cooperative, weigen, described the cooperative's use of a base-farmer development model to grow honeyfruit and, under the guidance of the regional agricultural and rural directorates, to prevent harm through the integration of hydrofertilizers and the integration of physical techniques such as fruit packs. Not only are they ripe and good for sale, but they also have a good taste in their mouths。


“we are now in our fourth year of growing our land, which began in 18 years. It is essentially sold in two broad directions and in some large local supermarkets, as well as in the international fruit wholesale market in foshan.” weigen indicates。


The base is known to have grown over 250 acres this year and is expected to produce more than 500,000 pounds and more than $1. 25 million. The whole range of tasks, whether caregiver before a grapefruit matures, or harvesting, packaging and so on, is a guarantee of income stability for many farmers in the region, effectively contributing to the growth of nearby workers, increasing confidence in the development of niche industries and boosting rural renewal。
