Recently, in Gaoshan Village, Heye Town, Guiyang County, a hundred mu kiwifruit tree is covered with mature fruits. In order to ensure the quality of the fruits, the villagers are busy thinning the fruit trees to lay a good foundation for the high quality and high yield of kiwifruit this year.
In the kiwifruit base, rows of shelves, kiwifruit branches and vines twining, a string of green fruit like jujube hidden in the dense leaves, the villagers remove excessive fruits and small fruits from each branch to ensure the good quality of kiwifruit.
"Fruit thinning, in short, is a screening of all fruits in the young fruit stage, to eliminate redundant, unqualified small fruits and malformed fruits, so that although the output is reduced, the overall quality of fruit is improved." He Feiyan, sales manager of Keyi Fruit Planting Cooperative, said. He Xiaoping, a villager, is the person in charge of the orchard. In 1996, he recognized the good mountains and good water in the village, seized the opportunity of ecological agriculture, introduced Kiwi saplings from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and planted kiwi fruit in the wasteland. In 2015, He Xiaoping cooperated with Zhengzhou Fruit Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences to test the Ruanzao kiwifruit. Although the fruit type of this kind of kiwi fruit is only the size of the thumb, its vitamin C content is 8 to 10 times that of the ordinary kiwi fruit. After they were listed in the market last year, they were in short supply.
According to the introduction, the kiwifruit base has a per mu yield of 1000 Jin and an annual output value of more than 1 million yuan, which can solve the employment of more than 300 surrounding villagers. The kiwifruit industry has also become another important characteristic industry to get rid of poverty and become rich in Guiyang County. "Our next plan is to improve the quality and output of the Ruanzao kiwi fruit. Through online and offline platforms, we will enhance its popularity, let more people know the advantages and characteristics of the Ruanzao kiwi fruit, and make it a new business card of the characteristic agricultural products of Guiyang County, so as to bring the surrounding farmers to become rich and employed." He Feiyan said.
