Previous high-grade fruit pitaya sales cold this year

Recently, the prices of white heart dragon fruit and red heart dragon fruit on the market have declined. Monitoring data show that the average price of the national dragon fruit producing area and wholesale market fluctuates around 4 yuan / jin recently. According to the different sizes and varieties of red skin and white meat dragon fruit from Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan, the quotation is mainly concentrated in 2 yuan ~ 4 yuan / jin, while the price of red skin red heart dragon fruit is slightly higher, and the quotation is between 3 yuan and 8 yuan / jin.

The red heart dragon fruit is gradually replacing the white heart dragon fruit.

The price of dragon fruit has gone down, especially the low price of white dragon fruit has depressed the overall market of dragon fruit. Since the 1990s, the white dragon fruit on the market has been the mainstream variety, but in recent years, with the development of the industry, the white dragon fruit is gradually being replaced by the red dragon fruit, which is because the red dragon fruit has bright color and higher nutritional content. better taste, more welcome to consumers, higher market recognition.

In previous years, the production of red dragon fruit in China was limited by planting technology, management technology and varieties, and the output was limited. Except for planting in some southern China, most of the red dragon fruit on the market was imported from some countries in Southeast Asia. Because the origin is far away and the transportation cost is high, the price is generally higher than other fruits. In recent years, with the popularity of excellent varieties, the improvement of planting technology, especially the solution of the problem of self-pollination of red dragon fruit, the planting area of red dragon fruit has been expanding, and the price has been reduced to a range acceptable to ordinary consumers.

According to some fruit growers, basically few people want to grow white dragon fruit now, and the management technology is similar to that of red heart fruit, but the price difference is at least 1 yuan / jin. It can be said that no matter it is the choice of market demand or production end, white heart dragon fruit is gradually being replaced by red heart dragon fruit.

So in the face of the situation that the market situation is not as expected and the sales price is declining, how can farmers get better returns in the cultivation of dragon fruit?

First of all, in recent years, China's dragon fruit industry has developed rapidly, and the planting area has been expanding, of which the planting area of Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou has reached more than 100000 mu. Because the cultivation of dragon fruit has the characteristics of simple planting, quick effect and good income, other provinces in the north, such as Zhejiang, Henan, and Shaanxi, are also using new planting techniques. This year, the output of domestic dragon fruit is affected by seed expansion, and the market purchase is limited, so the price falls. Therefore, the majority of farmers should not expand their seeds blindly, but should fully understand the market demand, select excellent varieties, strengthen field management, and plant efficiently.

Secondly, at present, the time on the market of dragon fruit is relatively concentrated, the overall output is relatively high, and the downstream market encounters the listing of seasonal fruits such as citrus, pomegranate, pear, etc., and the market purchasing power is limited, so it is difficult to digest so many goods in a short time. Farmers want to win the sales war, grasp the dynamic changes of fruit market time and market demand, plant scientifically, use management technology to make dragon fruit mature in advance or delayed, avoid peak, and go on the market with off-peak.

Finally, the price of dragon fruit is generally lower, but according to the variety, grade and appearance, the price of good quality dragon fruit is still relatively high, especially some famous varieties, fruit type, good taste, usually sold as high-grade fruit, the price is much higher than that of ordinary dragon fruit. At present, the varieties in the domestic dragon fruit market are chaotic, and many of them are inferior, so it is necessary for farmers to carefully compare and select seedlings, introduce excellent varieties, and at the same time improve the ability of planting management and disaster prevention and disaster prevention, and produce high-quality high-quality fruits.
