In the hilllands of the south mountains, a green branch of a green plum tree is fragrance. Through modern industrial chains, the qingmei, which holds a 3,000-year-old chinese food culture, is now a modern chain of industries, from branches to markets and from agricultural land to factories, which has become a golden fruit for the rich。
A green plum, to feed
A green plum is rapidly transformed into a high-quality product for sale in dozens of countries around the world. The fruit-farmer is the solid foundation of this chain. By way of a price-fixing agreement, the farmers ate “concerts”. His 600-acre merlin, who had been given high-quality seedlings and expert technical escorts by the enterprise, began to grow in 2023。
“the purchase of the margin gives us confidence in the returns.” u. S. C. C. Says. In addition to growing large households, some village groups and enterprises cooperate in planting plum trees. “the pick-up season, where the pick-up worker earns $150-200 a day; when the gains are generated, the villagers receive a bonus.” as the chairman of the board of directors of the scavenger gardens, yang sail, described, “it was once a heavily contaminated mine, but it is now full of green plumes, and ecological restoration coincides with industrial development. Not only has the environment improved, but farmers' incomes have increased.”
How can we support farmers? Yang sails tell journalists that businesses provide farmers with high-quality seedlings free of charge and join agricultural specialists in handing over planting, cutting and cutting techniques to ensure the quality of the source; guide ecological cultivation, encourage farmers to use organic fertilizers, farm fattening, reduce chemical use, reduce soil sheeting, and improve the safety and taste of pome fruit; and establish pome fruit harvests in every village, cut the middle of the layer and cash to the farmers directly, and the fruit achieves a “field-to-work plant”. Yang sai said: “a year of harvest, the transport cars in front of the factory grow dragons. We can process more than a thousand tons of green plums every day, and a truck carries 5-10 tons of fruit
How are the farmers? Yang sail gave journalists a clear account: about 40 trees on an acre, about 100 pounds of fruit in a normal year, and 10,000 yuan in revenue. Last year was a year of poor harvests, with the purchase price of qingmei in anhui having risen to 10 yuan per kilogram; this year, the purchase price of qingmei in anhui has been 5 yuan per kilogram, with maximum benefits for farmers。
As indicated by the standing committee and vice-chairman of the changhek district commission of changhek city, the boom district will continue to deepen the development of the yingmei industry, “to increase the subsidy for the cultivation of yingmei and to make every effort to create a `me' food material base and a model area for integration of the mei brigade”. The region has put in place an implementation opinion on accelerated industrial development of green may, and the district finance has set up a special annual grant supplement to support the expansion of qingmei cultivation. As of 2024, the district finance has disbursed more than 17 million yuan. In addition, an investment of $70 million was made to upgrade qingmei boulevard with high standards and to declare the “specific industries + finance + technology” policy project, which seeks $10 million to support qingmei's entire industrial chain development. At present, 50,000 acres of green plum are being planted in 6 municipalities and 14 counties in anhui province. At the national level, according to statistics, zhejiang, anhui, jiangsu, guangdong, fujian, guangxi, yunnan and sichuan have been established in three main industrial zones, covering about 10,000 villages. The relevant fruit-processing enterprises are actively mapping, targeting millions of acres of plum trees, benefiting millions of farmers。
A fruit, out of a chain
A seemingly ordinary green plum, with strong scientific power behind its back. Science, technology and innovation are slowly reshaping every link of industry, rejuvenating traditional fruits, benefiting growers and giving consumers better taste of green plums。
At the beginning of the development of the green plum varieties, the skewtree gardens group and nanjing university of agriculture merged in a forward-looking fashion. The new varieties of “sliding plum 1” and “sliding plum 2” that they have chosen together are not only extremely valuable, but are more suitable for processing. Since 2021, the two varieties have received successive certificates of new plant varieties from the relevant state authorities. The planting of seedlings provides a solid basis for the extension and value-added of the subsequent industrial chain, leading to a leap from a single agricultural product to a diversified vehicle integrating agriculture, industry and leisure tourism。
In recent years, the ai area has shown strong momentum. At the plum process, artificial intelligence is visible. In association with two scientific and technological enterprises, the slull gardens group has developed an ai smart selection device that quickly selects the size, colour and skin of a standard fruit to ensure that the raw material meets the standard. The removal of the nucleus was a time-consuming part of the plum processing. The introduction of state-of-the-art aie core detection equipment, the application of biofingerprint identification techniques, the ability to accurately identify the fruit nucleus and foreign matter of each fruit, the rapid removal of the fruit nucleus, ensuring that the fruit nucleus is non-remnant, has greatly improved production efficiency and the utilization of the meat, and has made it easier for young plume to taste and consumers to eat. In addition, a visual locator packers are used to ensure that each package meets quality standards。
Today, ai technology has infiltrated multiple stages of fruit processing. Moreover, the technology allows for the rapid and accurate separation of water content and sugar content of plumes, which, based on the exact data detected, go into different “customized” processes. The sweet acid ratio is perfect and the taste of good quality green plums is excellent, without any additional modifications, and is based directly on the use of advanced techniques to make “zero-add” healthy snacks and to lock them in their nature. Depending on their characteristics, the rest of the cyanome is processed in the form of mud, jam, etc., and is used in the areas of baking pies, beverage blending, complex spices, and creative “compatibility” with other products, which can enhance the overall taste level, effectively digest different specifications and maximize the value of raw materials。
“in recent years, we have been increasing our research and development inputs, strengthening our cooperation with research institutes and institutes, establishing the institute of green may industries, and establishing the centre for scientific research in 2023, which has made a strong contribution to the scientific development of the fine processing and healthy food products of the young plum industry and to the sustainable development of its entire industrial chain.” ning peng fei, vice-president of the skinking orchard group, presented the project。
The journey of qingmei is a vivid microcosm of the depth of technology that empowers traditional agriculture. The power of technology, from intelligent breeding to ai selection, smart de-nuclearization and sugar-based customization, is giving the green plum industry unprecedented dynamism and value.
