Red flesh Apple-- Feng Xiangbin's Fruit of getting Rich

Red Love Red Meat Apple

Everyone must have eaten the apple, but not everyone has seen the red meat apple inside and outside, but this kind of apple is no stranger to Feng Xiangbin in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province.

Feng Xiangbin, general manager of Zaozhuang Red Love Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., with red meat apples, has not only made his own way to get rich, but also brought business opportunities for more fruit farmers to get rich.

According to Feng Xiangbin, the red meat apple he planted, called "Red Love", originally originated in Switzerland and is a new apple variety developed by fruit experts with red skin and red meat using hybrid technology. "Red Love" contains 16% sugar, 2% higher than ordinary Fuji apples, 0.2% higher acidity than ordinary Fuji apples, and tastes more refreshing. In addition, another major feature of Red Love is its high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins have the characteristics of anti-oxidation, anti-mutation and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and are widely used in contemporary human health care. The anthocyanins of red meat apples can reach more than 325 mg, which is 15 times higher than that of ordinary apples.

Before coming into contact with Red Love, Red Meat Apple, Feng Xiangbin ran a well-known local trading company. In an accidental chat with a friend a few years ago, Feng Xiangbin heard his friend say that he had seen an unusual red meat apple in Europe. His intuition of doing business for many years made Feng Xiangbin believe that this was a rare business opportunity.

After market investigation and demonstration, Feng Xiangbin invested in the introduction of red meat apples. After several years of cultivation and technical accumulation, this kind of red meat apple finally achieved high quality and high yield in his experimental garden, and surpassed its origin in taste and appearance to become a veritable rich fruit.

Feng Xiangbin gave us a comparison. Ordinary Fuji apples blossom in three years and bear fruit in the fifth year, and it takes seven to eight years to enter the high yield period, while "Red Love" red meat apples can blossom and bear fruit in the second year after planting, with a yield of about 1000 jin per mu. In the fourth year, the yield per mu can reach 5000-6000 jin. In terms of management and disease control, compared with ordinary Fuji apples, red flesh apples can achieve ideal commercial fruit color without bagging, and have the characteristics of resistance to scab.

Feng Xiangbin successfully introduced "Red Love", letting friends around him see the unusual characteristics and market demand of red flesh apples, and his planting base has also attracted more and more fruit farmers who are trying to grow. Xue Zhaocheng, who tasted the sweetness and planned to expand the planting area, was once one of them. According to Xue Zhaocheng, red meat apples can be sold for 10 yuan if demand exceeds supply. His more than one mu apple orchard earned more than 30,000 yuan in the third year last year, and is now preparing to purchase more saplings from Feng Xiangbin.

In response to the concern of many non-local friends who visited the base that dead seedlings appeared after planting in the first year due to geographical and environmental influences, Feng Xiangbin replied that as long as the dead seedlings were reissued free of charge, and unreservedly shared the planting technology with them.

Today, Feng Xiangbin has not only developed his own unique technical characteristics in the planting technology of red meat apples, but also explored more selling points combined with the local market environment and the characteristics of red meat apples. He hopes that more friends who are interested in growing red meat apples will join, so as to make the whole red meat apple market more colorful and bring business opportunities for more farmers to get rich.
