At 5 a.m. on April 16, the mandarin oranges grown in Jinzhupo Farm, Jiangxi Town, Jiangnan District, Nanning City, were picked, sorted, weighed, packed and loaded. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the mandarin orange was transported to the warehouse of Guangxi Jingmao International Trade Co., Ltd. located on Shajing Avenue, and will be "taken" from Nanning International Railway Port to go out of the country.
The export of mandarin oranges in Jiangnan District is a microcosm of Jiangnan District's efforts to build a cross-border fruit industry chain supply chain value chain. As a veteran "fruit basket" in Nanning, in recent years, Jiangnan District has made great efforts to achieve practical results in building a cross-border fruit industry chain supply chain value chain for ASEAN, helping fruit "small specialties" to move towards "big industries", and promoting the high-quality development of the specialty fruit industry.
Technology empowers the sky to eat has become history
If you want the fruit to be delicious, source control is the key. At Jinzhupo Farm, where the mountains are full of fruit trees covered with mandarin oranges, Liang Weizan, a science and technology correspondent, often checks whether the drip irrigation pipes on the trees are working properly.
"Drip irrigation pipes are our 'magic weapon' to cope with the extreme changes in weather, and after the system is activated, it can not only automatically apply water and fertilizer, but also save water and fight drought. Liang Weizan introduced that compared with traditional sprinkler irrigation, the new water and fertilizer integration system installed on the farm can save about 82% of water and fertilizer, and the overall benefit is more than 45% higher than that of traditional planting. In addition, there is an intelligent monitoring and lighting system in the orchard, which can monitor pests and diseases and changes in weather, temperature and humidity in a timely manner and reflect them to the terminal.
In addition to smart equipment, Liang Weizan has also conducted a comprehensive investigation and investigation on the irrigation, drainage, pest control and other issues of the farm, and has developed a set of scientific coping methods to successfully make the fruit trees healthy through the growth period. Technology has made "relying on the sky to eat" a thing of the past. Today, the mandarin oranges of Jinzhupo Farm are favored by the market for their advantages of high sugar, suitable acidity and firm peel, and have successfully obtained export qualifications.
It is reported that the fruit planting area in Jiangnan District in 2023 will be about 61,000 mu, with an output of more than 100,000 tons, of which the area of citrus orchards will be about 18,000 mu, with an output of about 35,000 tons. It is reported that the export volume of mandarin oranges from Jinzhupo Farm reached 200 tons in the first year.

"This is the NSFOCUS intelligent washed fruit production line that we have put into use in recent years, just like doing CT for mandarins, the machine can detect whether there is damage or wormholes, etc., which greatly improves the sorting efficiency of fruits and reduces labor costs. Li Jie, head of Guangxi Jingmao International Trade Co., Ltd., said that only in strict accordance with green standards for cultivation and planting, strict fruit sorting and testing process, Jiangnan District mandarin orange can seize a place in the overseas market with excellent quality.
