Jiaxing dragon fruit enters the picking season in short supply

On these two days, Jinlongmen dragon fruit in Guangchen Town, Pinghu City, entered the picking season. The harvest of dragon fruit was sold out by merchants at a price of RMB 40 per kilogram.

When the reporter arrived at Jinlongmen Dragon Fruit Base, the base staff was picking ripe fruits. The flesh is reddish-brown in colour, with black sesame seed kernels mixed in. The flesh is refreshing, sweet and juicy, and the seed kernels are as savory as sesame seeds. The reporter chose a larger dragon fruit to weigh, showing a pound of 32. Base Zhang told reporters that this year's dragon fruit is a big one, with an average weight of about 780.

The workers at the base packed and packed the harvested dragon fruit. Zhang told reporters that since the dragon fruit was picked at the end of July, the first batch of 15 mu had an income of 80,000 yuan. Dragon fruit ripening can be picked five batches a year, and continued until the end of November.

In spite of the large number of picking batches, the demand is still in short supply. “Most of the dragon fruit on the market today is a dragon fruit with red skin and white meat, and there is little market for red meat dragon fruit grown in our garden. Because of the sweet flesh, dragon fruit from the base was ordered by customers such as Shanghai and Jiaxing. The output of our base is still far from satisfying sales. Now that the second batch has not been harvested in large quantities, there are already more than a dozen orders for goods.”

At present, the dragon fruit planted in Jinlongmen Ecological Park not only has soaring prices, but also falls short of supply. This kind of red meat dragon fruit with good taste can only have a small amount of fruit whose individual weight is less than 0.5 pound. At present, local people cannot taste this easily. A delicious, delicious dragon fruit.
