Although the output decreases, the price rises in Cangxi, Sichuan: How to "dry" kiwi?

In about two weeks, nearly 300 acres of organic red heart kiwi in the Red Sun Kiwi Specialization Club, Qiaoxi Township, Cangxi County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, will usher in the harvest period.

Recently, Wu Hongzhao, the person in charge of the special cooperative, drilled into the kiwi forest and carefully expanded the paper bags in the kiwi to check the growth situation; pinch the spray irrigation pipe hanging on the kiwi vine to ensure that there is no blockage.

Cangxi County is the largest red heart kiwi production base in the country. This year, the county's kiwi planting area reached 180,000 acres, covering all 31 towns and villages, with more than 220,000 employees.

High temperature and drought in August caused kiwi to reduce production to a certain extent. Recently, the reporter's investigation found that there are many examples of successful drought resistance like the Red Sun Kiwi Specialty. Cangxi is accelerating the exploration of the kiwi industry's quality and efficiency, transformation and upgrading.

Save the high temperature

Watering overnight is a kiwi "rejuvenating fever and quenching thirst"

Starting from Cangxi County, driving along the mountains for about two hours, we arrived at the Red Sun Kiwi Specialization Club organic red heart kiwi planting base.

The kiwi forest at an altitude of 740 meters was covered by tall reinforced plastic shading. "It's not sweet yet." Wu Hongzhao said that kiwi needs a large amount of water. In late August, he went to the base to open the water pipe at 10 o'clock every night, watered kiwi, and poured it to 8 am.

In order to resist drought, the weeds in the ground were not cleaned up, which can avoid the sunlight to the ground and slow down the temperature rise. In order to keep moisture, there are no branches for summer trimming. He also set up straw and shading nets on the branches on the kiwi frame to reduce the sunlight.

During that time, Wu Hongzhao not only did this himself, but also led the surrounding farmers to keep drought to protect the tree.

"The county's kiwi is different due to the cultivation and control methods and altitude, and the mature picking period is also different. From late August to mid -October." Zhang Lei, deputy director of the Kiwi Industry Development Bureau of Cangxi County, said that since early May, Flood Control in Cangxi County flood control The drought -resistant supervision group, technical guidance group, and professional technicians tour in various towns, parks, villages, and fields; technical training classes are opened to towns, villages, and gardens; Efforts to ensure that every family has technology to understand people and garden water and fertilizer.

Under the series of measures, Cangxi kiwi has reduced losses to the greatest extent. According to statistics from the Cangxi County Agricultural and Rural Bureau, most of the county's kiwi bases have been harvested and sold, and the remaining organic kiwi will mature from the end of September to mid -October.

Although high temperature and drought affect the output of Cangxi's kiwi, due to the sufficient sunlight this summer, the taste quality has maintained a high level, and the market supply is in short supply. Not long ago, the relevant measurement showed that this year Cangxi's red heart kiwi fruit is more sweet, the solid content is generally higher, and the dry substances are above 18%.

Quality rises, what is the price? Zhang Lei said that the current Cangxi kiwi is mainly divided into three categories: one is ordinary fruit, harvested in late August, the acquisition price is about 20 yuan/kg, which is about 8 yuan year -on -year; the second is ecological fruit. It is harvested in late September. The price is about 40 yuan/kg, an increase of about 10 yuan year -on -year; the third is organic fruit. The harvest period is in late September to mid -October. The current purchase average price is about 80 yuan/kg, which is about 20 yuan year -on -year.

In the past few days, Yang Yongqing, a villager in Zhenzi Village, Gaopo Town, is busy looking for picking teams, contacting cold storage, preparing fruit boxes, preparation for fruit boxes , His family has been sold for 15 acres of ordinary fruits, and 9 acres of organic fruits are almost mature.

As an organic red heart kiwi demonstration township, 1,200 farmers in Qiaoxi Township planted kiwi, and 1285 acres were implemented with organic certification. "Because the production area expanded, the output this year was 50 tons from last year." The relevant person in charge of the Qiaoxi Township government said that the output value of kiwi in the township this year increased by about 15%year -on -year, and it is expected to increase the income per capita by more than 300 yuan.

On the afternoon of September 14th, in Qiping Town, Cangxi County, in the 200 -acre organic kiwi planting base of Shengfeng Agricultural Co., Ltd., workers were cleaning up weeds under the forest, and kiwi was bent.

On the side, Li Hai, an employee of the company's sales department, took the shooting. "In order to promote our kiwi, I often take some planting management videos and publish it on Douyin and WeChat public account." He said.

"This year's light pumping irrigation costs more than 70,000 yuan." Song Yuanjun, general manager of the company, said that there were two reservoirs more than 400 meters nearby, and two irrigation stations were built, which greatly guaranteed the base of kiwi water during the high temperature and dry period this year. It is estimated that this year will not be reduced.
