June is the season of rich fruit, and Xinjiang has also ushered in a time of concentrated harvest of fruits with local characteristics. the current fruit transport logistics system and e-commerce, including a variety of sales channels are becoming more and more perfect, promoting Xinjiang fruit to "go" farther and farther. The planting techniques of cantaloupe are very similar to those of open-air melon.

At the foot of the famous Flame Mountain in Turpan, Xinjiang, the high temperature can be up to 16 hours a day, which has a good ripening effect on cantaloupe, a locally grown characteristic fruit. According to the forestry department, this year, the sugar content of cantaloupe in Turpan is generally more than 23%. This sweetness is very high, and such high sweetness has attracted fruit buyers all over the country.

In 2019, the standardized production base of 102000 mu of cantaloupe built in Turpan adopted a different planting method than before. this year, a new technology of time-sharing sowing, storage and transportation was adopted, and early-maturing melons were put on the market from mid-May to mid-June. the melon production period will last until the end of October. Coupled with thousands of new local cold storage, the cantaloupe sales season can last until January next year.

Xiaobai apricots are planted in Kuqa County, 700 kilometers away from Turpan. The planting environment here in Kuqa County is very helpful for Xiaobai apricot to gather sugar, because the hot sun on the edge of the Tarim Desert and the temperature difference between day and night of 10 degrees Celsius can help Xiaobai apricot gather sugar. At the same time, the output of Xiaobai apricot this year is very large, more than 45000 tons, and the sugar content is generally between 20% and 25%. With the increase in popularity here, the purchase price of Kuche Xiaobai apricot has also changed, from 20 yuan per kilogram to 25 yuan per kilogram. One mu of land can produce 300-400 kilograms, and it is not difficult to sell it.

According to statistics, in 2018, the output of characteristic forest fruits in Xinjiang was nearly 16.05 million tons. Fruit production is expected to exceed that of last year in 2019. Xinjiang fruit sales methods will also change, through the promotion of the local e-commerce platform, into the country's mainstream network sales platform, sales to all parts of the country.
