"Small Apple" Becomes "Big Wealth" -- Observation on the Development of Yan'an Apple Industry
2023-01-23
For every nine apples produced nationwide, one of them comes from Yan'an, Shaanxi. Yan'an, located in the Loess Plateau, has achieved strong fruit industry, rich fruit farmers and beautiful fruit countryside in the development of small apple industry. Among the more than 2.2 million people in Yan'an, 800000 farmers have benefited from the apple industry. Apple income accounts for 61% of farmers' operating income. The reporter found in the interview in Yan'an that the apple industry has already said goodbye to the rough planting mode and simple sales mode. Today, scientific and technological planting, grading and sorting, cold-chain storage, digital fusion and so on have linked the long chain of high-quality development of Yan'an apple industry, and "small apple" has developed into an important industry for enriching the people. The winter of the Loess Plateau, which demands yield and quality from science and technology, is supposed to be a slack season, but many fruit farmers are still busy with apple winter management while walking among the hills in Yan'an. Through a mountain orchard in Nangou Village, Gaoqiao Town, Ansai District, Yan'an City, the reporter can clearly see the "technical model" of apple planting in Yan'an. The new type of dwarfed and densely planted orchards are arranged in order, and the integrated irrigation facilities of water and fertilizer run through them. The wide row spacing leaves enough space for mechanized operation. "bean and vegetable rotation" increases the organic matter in the soil, the anti-weed cloth replaces the herbicide, and the insecticide lamp replaces the insecticide, The hail prevention network has blocked the hail disaster... "New varieties, new methods and new management. The new technology has not only doubled the output compared with the 'old style', but also greatly improved the quality of apples," said Zhang Guanghong, a cadre of Baocun Village in Nangou Village. Lu Shuguo, director of Yan'an Fruit Industry Center, said that from "planting more" to "planting well", Yan'an's apple industry has achieved scale expansion and quality and efficiency improvement through a series of scientific and technological means such as variety renewal, efficient use of fertilizer and water, green prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, disaster prevention and mitigation, and has embarked on the road of agricultural modernization in standardized production. In Luochuan County, Yan'an City, there is an ice-temperature vertical controlled atmosphere storage called "fruit cube" by fruit farmers. When apples mature, there is a long queue waiting for storage. In the storage area, the reporter saw through the display that the baskets of apples were encoded with barcodes under the control of the computer program and automatically sent to the designated location of the cold storage through the transport robot. "The apples will be put into the cold storage and sold again when the market is good. The same is fresh and crisp." Ma Honggang, manager of Shaanxi Luochuan Apple Co., Ltd., explained how Yan'an Apple can solve the problem of "high yield but no harvest". Changing the scene, the "Manager Wang Agriculture" company in Luochuan County has been busy preparing goods since the beginning of the festival. The automatic intelligent sorting line, like CT, can quickly take 24 photos of each apple, and accurately sort according to the appearance, sugar, hardness and other indicators. Customers can also achieve personalized customization of apples. The total storage capacity of 1.62 million tons of cold storage, 105 intelligent fruit selection lines... The continuously upgraded apple industry chain has become the basis for Yan'an Apple to change from "selling one season" to "selling four seasons", and from "selling in bulk" to "selling in individual". The digital economy demands sales of mobile phones instead of traditional agricultural tools. Live broadcast, short video, and delivery of orders become new agricultural work. Zhang Yongliang, a fruit farmer in Luoyang Village, Jiuxian Town, Luochuan County, holds a thick stack of express delivery orders to end the day's work in this way. At the beginning of "Touching the Net", Zhang Yongliang was trying to solve his own Apple market
