The planting and expansion of dragon fruit is rapid and strict to prevent unsalable sales.

The dragon fruit is a favorite tropical fruit. With the popularity of the dragon fruit market in recent years, the number of dragon fruit planted in China is gradually increasing, and the planting varieties are also expanding. According to statistics, the newly planted area of dragon fruit in Hainan this year is 5000-6000 mu, and it is estimated that the fruit-producing area will reach 15000-17000 mu by May next year.

Such a large output is bound to impact the original market. How can these new increases in production be sold? In the face of the increasingly hot demand market, how should farmers accurately locate and put in on demand?

In recent years, the market of domestic dragon fruit is very good, and the economic benefit is high. as an economic crop, the output value per mu can reach more than 10,000 yuan, which is 2 to 3 times that of other non-cash crops. And dragon fruit is relatively easy to grow. If it is planted at the beginning of this year, a small amount of new fruit will be produced by the end of this year. In the second year, the output will reach about 70% of the highest output, and the cost recovery rate will be faster. The governments of many producing areas also vigorously support the dragon fruit industry. Nowadays, the dragon fruit industry in many southern regions is springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

With so much seed expansion, next year, the output of dragon fruit will be greater, and the market shipping pressure should not be underestimated. Industry insiders have said that it is urgent to broaden the downstream market. He Fen, a grower, expressed his concern.

Although the cultivation area of dragon fruit in China has expanded rapidly in recent years, there is a big gap in the market due to the faster growth of consumer demand. According to market surveys in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Northeast China, daily sales are about 30 to 60 tons. Chi Heng, an one-mu market analyst, said that according to research, red dragon fruit, which has a greater advantage in taste and acidity and sweetness, is more popular with consumers and higher benefits for growers.

Because planting dragon fruit has the characteristics of simple planting, quick effect and good income, in addition to Guangdong and Hainan, other northern provinces such as Zhejiang, Henan, and Shaanxi are also using new planting techniques. Chi Heng said for this: in the large market environment, the best-selling and unsalable phenomenon of the same kind of fruit occurs from time to time, so it is suggested that farmers should strictly control the quality and produce high-quality fruit.
