According to the "Happiness Fuding" WeChat release on November 17, 2017 As the warm sun shines into the mountains in early winter, the teak forest that spreads over the slopes of the mountains is filled with the refreshing fragrance of grapefruit, and the 15,000 mu of grapefruit in Fuding City has fully entered the picking period.
Qianqi Town is the core production area of Fuding Four Seasons Grapefruit, and just after the winter, the fruit farmers are busy. On November 12, at the Dalan Fruit Farm in Qianqi Town, the fruit growers picked them with their bare hands or held long poles and carefully plucked the yellow grapefruit from the trees, and the happy smile was irrepressible joy.
The owner of the fruit farm, Zhuang Qi, and his brothers are unloading bags of grapefruit from the mountain rail transport vehicle with three assistants. Earlier, the Fuding Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs helped the fruit farm build a winding mountain track of hundreds of meters through the construction project of the leading industrial demonstration base in Fujian Province. Fruit farm workers only need to pick the four seasons grapefruit bagging on the transport truck, as soon as the motor is started, hundreds of pounds of four seasons grapefruit will automatically "come" from the mountain to the farm along the mountain road, which greatly saves labor costs and solves the problem of "difficulty in recruiting workers" in the fruit farm.
"In previous years, hundreds of yuan could not recruit workers a day, but now that we have a track, we no longer have to worry about recruiting workers!" Fruit farm owner Zhuang Qihe said. Not only that, according to Zhuang Qihe, the newly built track saves time and effort, a round trip only takes ten minutes, and the load of 400-500 kilograms is equivalent to the past five or six workers who rely on their shoulders, which greatly improves the transportation efficiency, and the fruit will no longer rot in the mountains because it cannot be transported.
"Although the yield of grapefruit in all seasons has decreased compared with the harvest year due to the dry weather this year, the abundant sunshine has allowed the grapefruit to precipitate enough sugar, and the quality of the single fruit has been significantly improved this year." Zhuang Qihe said. He was busy with the four seasons of grapefruit and sending it all over the country while entertaining customers who came to the fruit farm from all over the world...
It is understood that the grapefruit production of the four seasons of Dalan Fruit Farm this year is expected to reach 6,000 jin per mu, with a total output of more than 200,000 jin.
