The workers pick pineapple on the slopes
At the moment, a giant pineapple is hanging on a branch at the pineapple base in the town of zhuang hwa village in bobo county, yulin city, and there is a fragrance of fruit in the air。
And when they entered the base, they only saw the workers busy gathering fruit, weighing it, packing it, and their faces covered with the joy of a harvest。
In 2018, zhao zhou zhu, the head of the agricultural technology co. Ltd. In guangxi boba county, came to bobi and, after a survey, found that the climate and soil were suitable for pineapple cultivation, a planting base was set up to introduce vietnamese red meat pineapple. At the beginning of the planting, the fruit tree was not growing as well as having an optimal outcome, and the team did not give up on the issue of the subtropical fruit. Since then, zhao and team technicians have devoted almost all their energy to the base, studying soil, moisture, temperature, etc., and have devoted themselves to developing new varieties suitable for local cultivation。
After more than a year of experimentation and cultivation, the pineapple pineapple of the red meat-free species no. 1 and no. 2 were successfully improved, not only for cultivation in bobon, but also for a large amount of fruit and long storage time, comparable to that produced in viet nam, and soon sold in the area of the river。
On the slopes of the base, pineapple is grown in a dense mud, and the fruit trees are not very large, but they carry eight or nine pineapple honeys, five or six kilograms small and more than 10 kilograms large, all bent over the branches。
“this is the advantage of improved varieties, with steady production, with production of more than 2,000 kilograms per acre over the period of fruit, with acquisition prices ranging from $12 to $14 per kg over the previous two years, much higher than local pineapple prices.” the base's staff said that, at present, after cultivation in previous years, pineapple honey grown at the base had been produced in quantities and that it was expected to yield more than 100,000 kilograms of fruit this year, with a value of over $1 million。
Field yard, front house, by pond, by road... Pineapple trees are almost everywhere in the south-east lobes of bobo, the dam, the sandbox, the english bridge, fengshan, the sand river and the diamond horns of the south-west。
“there are weather conditions that are so unique that the quality of pineapple cultivation is superior, and this is one of the reasons for bobo's vigorous development of the pineapple industry.” ningfonang, the director of the technical guidance station for fruit production in boba county, said that he had a long history of pineapple cultivation and was rich in variety, which was a small area of pineapple production in the country。
In recent years, boba county has seized on the “cow nose” industry, which fosters the development of the pineapple industry, with a focus on promoting and supporting the development of the pineapple industry. New varieties have been introduced from south-east asia, guangdong and hainan, with a total area of over 17,000 acres, of which approximately 13,000 acres of red meat pineapple are grown in series, up to more than 2,000 acres, down to dozens of acres, and it is expected that over the next five years, more than 50,000 acres will be grown throughout the county。
In addition, boba county is promoting “corporate+base+farmers” to replace previously fragmented family-based farming models, to scale up the cultivation of pineapple honey and to build platforms for the commercialization, packaging, deep processing and branding of fruit products, and to promote the entire industry chain of pineapple。
“in recent years, we have been able to improve production and quality by introducing advanced planting techniques, and by extending the techniques of tree breeding, fertilization of formulations, pest control, reprocessing, etc. To fruit farmers, and by promoting standardized cultivation.” ning dongnan says.
