/PRZWT/In the golden autumn season, plump and bright golden autumn tangerines have quietly appeared on the shelves of Qian Dama. This fruit, which is supposed to be on the market in the cold winter, has made its early appearance as autumn deepens, adding a touch of brightness to the seasonal fruits.
Its "early" is no accident. Behind it lies the dual support of technological breakthroughs and collaborative production areas, as well as the unique climatic conditions enjoyed by its core production area - Huaning County.
Huaning County is located in the east of Yuxi City and has a semi-humid plateau monsoon climate of the mid-subtropical zone. Due to the obstruction of cold air from moving southward by the Yunling and Wumeng Mountains and the Hengduan Mountains in the northwest, and the influence of the dry warm air current from the tropical continent of the Indian Ocean, a unique climate is formed, featuring "no severe cold in winter, early spring, rapid warming, no scorching heat in summer, and early coolness in autumn", which is very suitable for citrus cultivation.
Thanks to this, Huaning has become a nationally renowned production area for early-maturing and extra-early-maturing citrus fruits. The superior natural conditions enable the local tangerines to hit the market 40 to 60 days earlier than those in other domestic production areas, seizing the domestic and overseas markets with the two major advantages of "early" and "fresh".
The Golden autumn tangerine, this "off-season sweet fruit", is an important scientific research achievement of China's breeding technology. Unlike traditional tangerines, the Golden Autumn Tangerine is the result of hybridization by the Citrus Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences - it was selected and bred with Aiyuan 30 as the female parent and traditional tangerines as the male parent.
Nowadays, the Golden Autumn tangerines available on Qian Dama's shelves not only retain the advantage of tangerines being easy to peel but also absorb the characteristic of their mother plants being juicy and easy to dissolve. For fruit farmers in Yuxi, this early orange is a genuine "fruit of prosperity". According to the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau of Huaning County, the average income of orange farmers this year is expected to exceed 100,000 yuan. This is not merely a figure; it is the result of a virtuous cycle of "increasing farmers' income, enhancing enterprises' efficiency, and adding value to industries", which has linked the small citrus fruits into a chain of enriching the people.
Qian Dama, through direct sourcing from the source, delivers this sweet taste across thousands of miles to consumers. To safeguard the commitment of "not selling leftover food from the previous day", every link from the branches to the stores adheres to the ultimate pursuit of freshness. An efficient supply chain and full cold chain ensure that the sunny flavor and the sweet morning dew of the origin are perfectly preserved and delivered to stores across the country on time.
Qian Dama directly conveys consumers' demand for freshness to the planting end. Peel open a golden autumn tangerine, and the clear and moist juice melts on your lips and teeth - it is the sweetness condensed by the autumn sun, the anticipation of fruit farmers' hard work, and also the passionate echo on the road to rural revitalization.
