"Abundant rainfall reduces kiwifruit production in Sichuan"

Red Heart kiwifruit ripens earlier than other kiwifruit varieties. The fruit itself is also larger and the flavor sweeter. The fruit is better able to endure storage and transport. Therefore, the price is also higher, yet domestic consumers welcome the fruit with open arms. One of the reasons that Red Heart kiwifruit is worth the effort is that this variety is cultivated from wild kiwifruit and therefore more resistant to plant diseases and insect pests. Red Heart kiwifruit has become one of the most favored choices of kiwifruit farmers in recent years.

"The extreme weather conditions in April this year, as well as severe rainfall in Sichuan, has caused the trees of several kiwifruit plantations to whither, the kiwifruit to flood, and the overall production volume to decrease." This is according to Liu Min of Sichuan Kangyuan Agricultural Products Co., Ltd.

"The ecological plantations of our company are located in Longmen Village, Lushan County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. At present, we have more than 20 hectares of kiwifruit plantation. We are fortunate to benefit from our unique regional position. Our Red Heart kiwifruit production volume has not at all suffered from the extreme weather conditions. Overall, the market supply has been reduced, which will undoubtedly raise the price of Sichuan kiwifruit this production season."

"Most of our trees have reached their peak production capacity this season. The new Red Heart kiwifruit season will officially commence in September and lasts until November. We plan to export Red Heart kiwifruit from Lushan, Pujiang, and Dujiangyan to Europe. We can supply around 2 thousand tons. We are currently looking for overseas partners to help us bring Red Heart kiwifruit to even more consumers."
