Persimmon is sold for 60 yuan per jin after processing.

Nowadays, in many persimmon producing areas in our city, we can see a lot of red persimmons hanging all over the branches, some leaves have fallen a lot, but no farmers come to pick them.

"the price of persimmons is so cheap that there are no people who come to buy persimmons today, and I have heard that persimmons will give rise to gallstones when they eat persimmons, so this year people in the village are too lazy to pick persimmons, so they just let it rot on the branches." Chen Yongfu of Xiaqiao Village, Yongfeng Town, Linhai, told reporters.

But in Shuigang Village, Yongfeng Town, which is 370 meters above sea level, tomatoes have been sold for six or seven yuan per jin in recent days. The price of a box of first-class persimmon made of two jin in a drying room is as high as 120 yuan. When I walked into the village, I saw that the tourists were peeling persimmons with gloves and fruit shavers, and from time to time there was the cheering sound of relatives and friends. According to Cui Jinfa, president of the Shuige Red Persimmon Cooperative, the sales of red persimmons in Shuigang Village are good, in addition to good quality, but also due to the growers' innovation.

The reporter learned that Shuigang Village invested 200000 yuan in building a drying room last year, where fresh persimmons after peeling were baked for five days and five nights to make persimmon tuo. "Persimmon is more chewy than fresh red persimmons, but it is not as sweet as persimmons, so it is very popular with consumers. On the other hand, ripe tomatoes can only be stored for two or three days, but Shituo has a shelf life of 20 days, which provides us with more time for sales and greatly increases the added value of persimmons. " Cui Yunqiang, the grower, said.

"in the past, we basically only picked first-class and second-class persimmons, and those small unattractive persimmons rotted on the branches, and now we are planning to develop persimmon wine so that we can make the best use of it. Now the drying room is relatively small, in the future, the scale is large, our own persimmons may not be enough, but also have to go to other places to buy it. " Cui Yunqiang said.

It is reported that this year, Shuigang tomatoes have a total of 350mu, which can produce 130000 jin, of which first-class products account for 30% of the total output and second-class products account for 50%. "with the increase in output and the improvement in quality, the income of growers will naturally increase." Cui Jinfa told reporters.
