There is such a fruit that smells very stinky, but it is very attractive, and the price is not cheap, a pound is sold for dozens of yuan or more, this fruit is called "calorie bomb" durian.
As the king of calories in the fruit world, many people love and hate it, and love it because of the rich taste and unique taste of durian, although it smells bad, it tastes very fragrant.
I hate it because durian is high in calories and not easy to digest, and the most important thing is that it is too expensive for ordinary people to eat, and some cheap durians have a very poor taste and quality, and they can't taste the real good taste of durian at all.
However, this year, the Hainan Research Institute in the mainland has brought people good news, that is, in order to achieve the self-supply of durian, China has promoted the planting of more than 1,400 acres of durian, and some domestic durians have even been on the market in June and July this year.
Then why is the mainland only transplanting and cultivating durian now? What will be the impact of the price reduction caused by the emergence of domestic durian in the future?
First of all, from the perspective of durian planting, in fact, it is not that the mainland does not want to plant early, but that durian is too difficult to cultivate.
As early as 1958, the Hainan Research Institute had tried to transplant durian, but unfortunately it did not succeed in a single one for decades.
You must know that durian has very strict requirements for the growth environment, first of all, it must be a tropical climate, because the temperature must be maintained above an average of 22 °C, and the best growth temperature is between 25~30 degrees.
Then there is the requirement for precipitation, the annual precipitation shall not be less than 1000mm, the best precipitation is about 2000mm, and the soil, the pH should be moderate, and not too wet, otherwise the soil will not breathe and suffocate it.
In general, durian cultivation should be maintained under the climatic conditions of suitable temperature, sufficient precipitation, and not too dry and not too waterlogged, and throughout the country, some areas of Hainan Province on the mainland can barely meet these conditions.
In addition, even if the planting is successful, the pruning and picking of durian in the later stage are big problems.
It is important to know that many fruit trees need to prune excess branches and buds during the growth process to avoid the growth of branches competing with the fruit for nutrients, and the same is true for durian trees.
If you don't prune the extra side branches, the growth of the side branches will directly affect the quality and size of the durian, and there may even be no fruit at all.
Pruning the side branches and how to prune them is a technical task that can only be done by experienced growers, and it takes a lot of time and experience to train such technicians.
Finally, it came to the picking process, I believe many people have seen the process of picking durian trees, adult durian trees can grow to a height of more than 20m, which requires professional pickers to be able to pick on the tree.
At the same time, there must be a well-coordinated partner under the tree, otherwise the durian will not be able to pick it well at all, and if it falls on the ground, it will only be smashed, and if it can't be caught, it will cause death.
Now I believe you can understand why the price of durian is so high! At the same time, these factors are also the reasons why the mainland has not promoted the cultivation of durian in China.
However, after years of experiments and cultivation by mainland agronomists and scientific researchers, it was finally found that the Sanya area of Hainan Province is in line with the conditions for durian cultivation.
Judging from the current planting situation, durian planting is still very successful, and many trees have already borne young fruits, and I believe that in the next few years, the mainland domestic market will also be able to eat domestic durian.
Secondly, let's take a look at the impact of the emergence of domestic durian on the durian market, is this worth our joy?
On the whole, it is good for the economic development and people of the mainland, you must know that the mainland durian was completely dependent on imports, and the main importing countries are Thailand and the Philippines, of which Thai durian accounts for about 90% of the market share
These countries know that China cannot produce durian, so they have already increased some of the prices when exporting, and then transporters and suppliers will continue to increase prices in their respective links, which further leads to high prices of durian.
Nowadays, the influx of domestic durian into the domestic market has directly led to a certain decline in durian prices in the region, and in the future, with the increase in durian production in the mainland, the price will be further reduced.
This is naturally not a good thing for those countries that export durian, because they will suffer a certain loss, and the price will be further depressed when exporting.
In the future, these exporters and suppliers are likely to control the sales of durian through various means, such as trying to monopolize the durian market in the region and then drive up prices.
This will bring chaos to the durian market, so the mainland should formulate policies in a timely manner in the future to avoid this chaos and maintain the normal order of the market.
However, it is good news for those who like to eat durian, and the reduction in the price of durian can make it affordable and affordable for more people who like to eat durian.
Moreover, the quality of domestic durian is no worse than that of some imported high-quality varieties of durian, and this will promote the survival of the fittest in the durian market to a certain extent, so that more high-quality durian will pour into the country, so what do you think about this?
