Recently, 1,400 mu of durians planted in the durian base of the Sanya Yucai Ecological Zone in Hainan Province have borne fruits, which will mature and go on the market in June this year. The yield is estimated to reach 1,750 kg/mu, and the output value per mu is more than 100,000 yuan.
According to the person in charge of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of Sanya City, Hainan Province, Sanya introduced durian four years ago. After years of cultivation, the domesticated durian varieties began to bear fruit this year. More than 10,000 mu of durians have been planted in various districts of Sanya, and the fruit has been bearing in succession. More Sanya durians will enter the market in the future.
Hainan has anchored the positioning of "becoming the core production area of special tropical high-quality agricultural products in China", and has introduced durian, custard apple, durian honey, jackfruit, bird's nest fruit, MameI fruit and other excellent varieties. The province's promotion has driven the planting of more than 300,000 mu of excellent tropical fruits and vegetables and the transformation and upgrading of tropical characteristic high-efficiency agriculture.
"In the past, China mainly relied on imported frozen durians from Southeast Asia, which would be discounted in terms of taste and sugar content." The person in charge of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Sanya said that the durians produced in Sanya not only have high sugar content but also have inherent advantages in terms of time. Entering the market in a fresh way satisfies the demand for fresh durians in the domestic market.
