"Ranking" is a human habit.
This not only reflects its own strength and "jianghu status", but also promotes future generations to strive to be strong and learn from the strong. Therefore, "ranking" is not a bad thing.
China is the world's potato producer, with a total planting area of more than 86 million mu, ranking first in the world, with a total output of more than 100 million tons, ranking first in the world. It can be called a "country sitting on a potato".
From the shores of the vast East China Sea to the foot of the majestic Kunlun Mountains, from the northern grasslands to the ends of the earth, potato cultivation can be said to be produced in inhabited places in China.
Although potatoes are planted throughout the country, some places "love potatoes as fate", but also "regard potatoes as fate", potato production and planting, as a lifelong cause of generations to cultivate and play, the potato out of the emotion, but also planted a reputation.
Today, the author ranks potato growing areas according to the "self-academic" method and lists the top ten in the country.
10th place: Ulanqab. The Shanxi people who entered Mongolia and took the western entrance not only brought the trade route to Inner Mongolia, but also brought agricultural production to the grassland area. The cultivation of potatoes in Ulanqab is one of the fruits of the west entrance.
Today, wulanchabu grows more than 4 million mu of potatoes, known as the "potato capital of China" and the first potato planting area in prefecture-level cities in the country. Needless to say, these are the flowers and fruits supported by the policy, once the government yin changes his post, the policy changes course, how many potato flowers bloom? No one knows.
Ninth place: Yulin. At the edge of the Mu Wusu Desert, the yellow sand is long, and the green is swaying in this sandbag. In the past two years, yulin's commercial potatoes have sprung up, attracting a large number of seed potato people to "settle down" in the desert.
Potatoes grown in the sand of Yulin
The frost-free period in Yulin area can reach more than 165 days. Potatoes can be harvested from the beginning of August to the end of October, as long as they can survive the high temperature in July, the potatoes produced are beautiful in shape, the skin is bright, and the dry matter accumulation of potatoes harvested late is rich in nutrients. Therefore, Yulin's potatoes conform to all people's imaginations of high-end commercial potatoes.
Eighth place: Hebei Damshang. Three treasures on the dam: noodles, potatoes, and large coats. These three treasures are not only the daily life of the people, but also the expectations of the people on the dam for a rich life.
Weichang, Zhangbei, Guyuan and other places were the experimental fields for Pepsi and Simplerough Company to promote modern potato planting in China in the 1990s, and trained a large number of "modern farmers", who broke the tradition, boldly introduced and absorbed foreign modern agricultural technology, and became the most capable potato growers in the country. At the same time, these people planted wildly and predatorily on the dam, which also led to the current situation of the spread of soil-borne diseases in the dam area today.
Seventh place: Tengzhou. "Tengzhou potato world potato", rather than saying that Tengzhou potatoes are good, it is better to say that Tengzhou propaganda is doing well. In recent years, Tengzhou potatoes have become famous, and they have walked the land of Shenzhou with the label of high-end commercial potatoes.
Harvested Tengzhou potatoes
In fact, the most admirable thing in Tengzhou is the "craftsman-farmer spirit" of potato farmers, who cultivate meticulously and strive for excellence. It is said that in order to make the potato skin bright, Tengzhou potato farmers must apply about 300 catties of cooked broad bean seedlings per mu of land before sowing, which can be seen in their hard work and ingenuity.
Sixth place: Huizhou. Huizhou, Guangdong is a representative of the winter potato in the south, and the biggest feature is the cultivation mode of "rice-rice-potato" water and drought rotation, which effectively uses the winter idle field. At the same time, Li Chun carried the flag of the country's earliest fresh potato on the market, which added potato flavor to cantonese cuisine in the southern country.
Fifth place: Bi Jie. Wulanchabu, Dingxi and Bijie are the three regions with the largest planting area in prefecture-level cities in the country, which are called the "three musketeers" in the potato world.
For example, in the Liangshan and Semi-Liangshan areas above 1900 meters above sea level, it is a seasonal cropping mode of spring sowing and autumn harvesting; in the central and eastern regions with low altitude, it is a planting mode that combines sowing in late winter and early spring, and intercropping and stubble harvesting in summer.
Bijie people love to eat potatoes and belong to the people who are "potato-loving". Of course, they also contributed the world's best potato delicacies, such as egg-bun potatoes, first fried potatoes, then fried on an egg skin, and then wrapped the potatoes into the egg skin, with chopsticks to pick open the egg skin, a touch of intoxicating deliciousness makes people confused...
Fourth place: Qiqihar. Can be ranked fourth, better than Keshan. As early as 1934, the Potato Research Institute was established in Keshan County. At present, Keshan has a national potato improvement center and the largest gene bank in Asia, and the "Kexin No. 1" cultivated is popular all over the country, and at its peak, the planting area of Kexin No. 1 can account for a quarter of the total potato planting area in the country.
The black land is sent to the southern country of the potato train
Of course, in the 1980s, qiqihar had a special train of potatoes sent to Guangdong and Fujian, which made the potatoes in the black soil really fire.
Admittedly, these are the old yellow calendars. Heroes do not rely on the courage of the year, the black land still needs to work hard!
3rd place: Dingxi. When Zuo Daren marched to the west, he said: "Dingxi bitterly under the heavens." "Folk say, Dingxi potato eggs. Because of the drought, most of the Dingxi people grow drought-tolerant and high-yielding potatoes. Also because three meals a day can not be separated from potatoes, Dingxi people are jokingly called potato eggs.
Dingxi is also known as the "potato capital". In order to compete for the name of the potato capital, in recent years, Dingxi has secretly competed with Wulanchabu in many aspects such as planting area and output, processing and so on.
In addition to the planting area, Dingxi and Wulanchabu compete, just like Ziyi marrying Wang Feng, which is self-reducing. Dingxi has independent breeding of Xindaping, golden potato and other varieties that are famous throughout the country; there are starch processing enterprises with the largest production capacity in the country; there are dozens of potato delicacies that are truly staple food... There is also a deep accumulation of potato culture, which is enough to be worthy of the name of "potato capital", as for the name awarded by a certain association, don't do it.
Second place: Zhaotong. If you want to choose an area in China where the climatic conditions are closest to the Potato Homeland Andes Mountain, Zhaotong deserves it.
Some potato experts say that the climate of Zhaotong is very similar to that of the Andes Mountains in South America, and it is one of the most suitable areas in the world for the expansion of potato seed potatoes. At present, Zhaotong's potato production is still the original ecological production mode, in the eyes of the paddock people who serve potatoes in the water and fertilizer, how backward is the production of Zhaotong? As everyone knows, in the pursuit of nutritious and healthy ingredients today, the original ecology of Zhaotong potatoes is the biggest selling point.
1st Prize: Enshi. The Enshi people often say, "There is no equine, everyone is hungry." "Equinaceae" is a potato variety widely grown in Enshi and has been cultivated for more than 300 years.
Enshi is the "selenium capital of the world", and the potatoes produced are truly selenium-rich foods, which are nutritious, healthy, green and organic, and meet all the indicators of high-quality ingredients.
Enshi selenium-rich potatoes
The pneumonia epidemic in gengzi spring tells us two simple truths: one is that "evil comes from the mouth"; the other is "living is happiness". Now, I believe that eating green organic potatoes is the source of health. Therefore, there should be no objection to the nutritious, green "selenium-rich potato" at the top.
