Where are blueberries produced in China and how are they cultivated?

In recent years, with the strong support of Zhuanghe Municipal Committee and zhuanghe city Municipal Government, the blueberry industry in zhuanghe city has developed rapidly, becoming the main blueberry producing area in Dalian and winning the reputation of "hometown of blueberries in China". It is reported that since 2002, the city has developed blueberry 1.8 million mu, forming four production bases in zhuanghe city, namely Guiyunhua, Lu Wu, Dazheng and Daying. However, when we look at blueberry, a colorful highlight of characteristic agriculture, and after interviewing Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., which was the first to develop blueberry production in zhuanghe city, we think that the current development of blueberry industry needs some cold thinking. In this way, it is of great benefit to the healthy development of blueberry industry and the prosperity of fruit farmers in zhuanghe city. At present, the development status of Zhuanghe blueberry industry is a new and efficient agriculture recognized by the majority of fruit farmers. In order to boost this highly efficient and characteristic industry, zhuanghe city has successively issued preferential policies, which greatly mobilized farmers' enthusiasm for planting and greatly increased the planting area and varieties. However, through investigation, we know that there are some hidden worries in the development of blueberries in zhuanghe city. Hidden worry 1: "Big" lacks "Fine" As the general manager of Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., which developed blueberry industry earlier, Han Yan revealed to us that the development of Zhuanghe blueberry industry only focused on rapidly expanding industrial area and output, while ignoring product quality. At present, zhuanghe city has formed four blueberry production bases, but the varieties planted are very different. It is reported that there are more than 100 varieties of blueberries, and the requirements for natural conditions are also very different. The same variety of blueberry is produced in different plots, and the taste is very different. The reason is influenced by soil PH value, temperature difference between morning and evening, frost-free period and other factors. For many years, experts including Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. paid attention to the soil adaptability and yield of blueberry varieties when helping to introduce them, but paid far less attention to the fruit quality of blueberry varieties, resulting in the phenomenon of single variety and mixed planting of processed fruits and fresh fruits. To varying degrees, blueberries are sometimes ignored by consumers in the market, calling them "astringent" or "sour". Hidden worry 2: Lack of a "broad market" The blueberry industry in zhuanghe city is far from being "sophisticated" in marketing while making a "big article". We talked with fruit farmers about the development of blueberry industry. Some people don't know what to do next and the future market direction. Even a leading enterprise like Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. is "looking at the flowers in the fog" about the future direction of blueberries, and it is difficult to predict what the future blueberry market will be like. But many media always say that blueberry industry has a bright future. As for the "landscape" and "width", they are not clear, so that some fruit farmers who develop blueberries are at a loss. In addition, due to the short development time of blueberry industry in China, there is no set of standardized product quality certification standards at present, which makes the blueberries produced in Zhuanghe area not certified as "green food", and also affects the development and market sales of the industry.

Thinking on the Development of Blueberry Industry It is understandable that zhuanghe city has taken many measures to vigorously develop the blueberry industry and promote urban and rural development by adjusting the agricultural structure and promoting the transformation of resource advantages. It will create a new industrial base for the construction of new countryside. In order to better promote the healthy development of the blueberry industry and effectively ensure that the blueberry industry will bring benefits to the majority of fruit farmers, we think we should consider the hidden worries and make the development of the blueberry industry less worrying. Idea 1: We should build a variety show garden. Based on the fact that the development scale of blueberry is "large" and the variety "fine" is neglected, we think that leading enterprises in blueberry development should build a blueberry variety exhibition park and establish a blueberry development research base in Zhuanghe area with the help of the scientific research strength of Liaoning Fruit Research Institute and Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Based on the base, a number of blueberry varieties were introduced in all directions, and after scientific experiments, they were introduced to the blueberry production base in the city to provide varieties adapted to local conditions. We saw in the interview that Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. has successfully planted anti-season blueberries. The technicians said that they found that the varieties of blueberries suitable for greenhouse planting were strict, and the varieties usually planted in the open air should also be strictly divided into plots. However, many varieties developed in Zhuanghe area and even Dandong area are not scientific enough, and most fruit farmers don't know how to choose suitable varieties or varieties that are not allowed to develop. If the blueberry development variety exhibition park can be built, it will provide a scientific reference and service for everyone, so that everyone can scientifically choose high-quality varieties suitable for the development of their own bases and really increase production and efficiency. Idea 2: Vigorously expand marketing As a blueberry industry, marketing is an important issue. Although it is agreed that there is a gap between supply and demand in the blueberry market, in fact, the market will not be smooth sailing, and various measures must be taken to solve the problem of blueberry market sales. When we talked with Han Yan, general manager of Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. about the sales of blueberries, she was also worried about her products and didn't know where the way out was. As for the marketing of blueberries, it should be said that zhuanghe city is actively thinking about it, for example, holding cultural festivals to promote it through the benign interaction between blueberry industry and tourism, culture and commerce. However, we believe that in order to fundamentally solve the market sales of blueberries, we really have no worries. We should establish a modern deep processing system of blueberries, deeply develop deep processing products of blueberries, implement quick freezing and preservation, conduct research and development of high-end products such as blueberry juice, jam and blueberry pigment, and make every effort to form a series of blueberry products. Thinking 3: Get the "green" certification as soon as possible. As a new type of high-efficiency agriculture, blueberry industry has been recognized by the majority of fruit farmers, but few people really master this technology. Faced with this situation, zhuanghe city invited experts to compile technical regulations for blueberry production from the perspective of promoting standardized production. However, as the representative of the third generation of health fruit, blueberry has no certification standard in China. Although the blueberries produced by Dalian Sendi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. occupy a place in the market, they have not been certified as "green food" for a long time. This phenomenon undoubtedly hindered the rapid development of blueberry industry in zhuanghe city. At present, on the one hand, we should strive to improve the technical content of blueberry production technology, so that Zhuanghe blueberries can truly meet the certification standards of pollution-free and green food, and at the same time, we should strive to make the blueberries in Zhuanghe area labeled as "green food" as soon as possible. At present, zhuanghe city has been included in the key development area of Liaoning coastal economic belt, which will certainly bring new business opportunities for zhuanghe city to build "the hometown of blueberries in China". As long as we stick to Scientific Outlook on Development, avoid doing things blindly, the blueberry industry in zhuanghe city will surely become a characteristic brand with great international influence and an efficient industry that will strengthen the city and enrich the people.
