Shatian grapefruit is a famous grapefruit variety in China, mainly planted in the Liangguang region, as well as Hunan, Chongqing, Sichuan and other places, the most famous production areas are Rong County in Guangxi and Mei County in Guangdong.
Compared with the sluggish prices of most fruits this year, the market for Sha Tin grapefruit is very ideal. According to the feedback from the production area, the field purchase price of plum grapefruit in Meixian County reached 1.8-2.5 yuan / jin, and the field price of Shatian grapefruit in Rongxian County, Guangxi Province also exceeded 2 yuan / jin, and the wholesale price reached more than 3 yuan / jin.

In this regard, many buyers expressed relative optimism, and the media also reported that the sales of Shatian grapefruit in Meixian County are progressing very quickly, and the number of reservations has reached 80%. In recent years, due to the higher market of Sha tin grapefruit, There have also been a large number of honey grapefruit high in Meixian District to replace the situation of Shatian grapefruit, why is Sha tin grapefruit so popular?
The national output exceeds 1 million tons
The yield level of plum grapefruit in Meixian County far exceeds that of Shatian grapefruit in RongXian County
A large planter in Meixian County believes that the reason why he is optimistic about Shatian grapefruit is because there are not many places in the country that can grow Shatian grapefruit. Strictly speaking, his statement is not entirely accurate. It should be that there are not many places in the country that can grow good Shatin grapefruit, compared to honey grapefruit and most other citrus varieties, the production management of Shatian grapefruit is more refined, and it is not easy to grow good quality Sha tin grapefruit. As a traditional production area, Meixian has a relatively good foundation in cultivation technology.
The national production of Sha tin grapefruit is mainly concentrated in the Liangguang area. Guangxi is the largest region in Shatian grapefruit production, according to the 2020 Guangxi Statistical Yearbook data, in 2019, Guangxi Shatian grapefruit production reached 886,100 tons. The most concentrated production area of Shatian grapefruit in Guangxi is in the Rongxian area of Yulin, according to guangxi radio and television stations, in 2021, rongxian Shatian grapefruit planting area is 220,000 mu, fresh fruit production of 250,000 tons.
Relatively speaking, Guangdong's Shatian grapefruit production is more concentrated, according to media public reports data, in 2021 Meixian District officially put into operation the planting area of 262,000 mu, the expected output of about 560,000 tons. The well-known Changba Shatian grapefruit planting area in Shaoguan area is 25,000 mu, with an annual output of more than 40,000 tons, a total of more than 600,000 tons.
Judging from the data that has been released in 2021, the planting area, total yield and yield level of Meixian golden grapefruit have far exceeded that of Rongxian Shatian grapefruit, becoming the largest production area of Shatian grapefruit in China.
Rong County, Mei County, where is the better production of Sha Tin grapefruit?
For fresh produce, people are more keen to discuss where is the most authentic and authentic and delicious, and Sha Tin grapefruit is no exception. Shatian grapefruit was originally a specialty of Guangxi, because the area where Shatian grapefruit was first grown was Sha tin Village, Rong County, Guangxi, so it was called Shatian grapefruit. This is also what growers in Rong County, Guangxi Province, are most proud of: Rong County Sha Tin Pomelo is the most authentic Sha Tin Pomelo, the most delicious Sha Tin Pomelo.
Meixian Shatian grapefruit is also introduced in Rong County, Guangxi, after technical improvement and in order to marketing promotion in the market competition, now the outside has been changed to "Meixian golden grapefruit", but in the eyes of professional channel buyers, it is Shatian grapefruit.
Rong County and Mei County, one is the earliest shatin grapefruit source, and the other is the country's largest sha tin grapefruit production area, so where is the shatin grapefruit better? From the perspective of popularity, Rongxian Shatian grapefruit is larger, on the Internet, many Guangxi consumers said that the authentic Rongxian Shatian grapefruit can only be bought and eaten locally, and many of the shatin grapefruit in the market are counterfeit, in short, Rongxian Shatian grapefruit is the best sand
Relatively speaking, consumers in Meizhou are much less vocal about "defending" local specialties. However, a buyer who distributes grapefruit in the Guangxi Haijixing wholesale market all year round introduced that in his stalls, the grapefruit placed inside and out is mainly from Guangdong and Fujian. In this regard, he explained that Rong County's Shatian grapefruit is famous throughout the country, and wholesalers everywhere go to buy goods, and sometimes the supply exceeds demand. But with his experience of making grapefruit for so many years, the quality of Guangdong Shatian grapefruit is not inferior to Rong County at all, but Rong County Shatian grapefruit is more famous.
He introduced that once a micro-business customer came to get the goods, respectively, measured the sugar content of Rong County and Meizhou Shatian grapefruit, the result was more than 16 degrees in Rong County, 17.8 degrees in Meizhou, and the customer wanted Meizhou grapefruit.
But the choice of grapefruit is not the higher the sugar, the better, but to see where it is sold, for example, the tastes of the two Cantonese and the northerners are very different, the two Cantonese like the sweeter, the northerners do not like too sweet.
Regarding the difference between the tastes of the north and the south, a fruit dealer from Shandong who has lived in Guangxi for many years has the most say, he came to Nanning from Shandong at the age of 18 to become a soldier, and after retiring from the army in 2001, he married a Guangxi girl and began to do wholesale business with relatives of his wife's family. He has a deep understanding of the difference between the tastes of the north and the south, because he has planted a heel on it. In 2014, he sent a cart of Sha Tin grapefruit to the north, and the skin of the grapefruit was a little thicker, although the taste was slightly drier, but it was very sweet, and the Sha tin grapefruit that year was the sweetest in his grapefruit business for more than 10 years. "The two Cantonese people are very happy to eat, but the northerners don't recognize this taste, they like grapefruit with a little sourness." As a result, it can be imagined that the truck that was transported to the north had no return, and he also had to eat a long and wise, and since then he has learned how to choose goods according to the crowd.
