Since 20 17, fruit farmers in Guangxi, a major province in the country, have "caught a cold" on Shatangju. Shatangju is small, with red skin, easy peeling and sweet taste. The purchase price of orchards once reached above 6 yuan.
Where are the most sugar oranges in Guangxi?
Lipu City and Yongfu County, Guilin City, where the most sugar oranges are planted in Guangxi, many farmers have entered the ranks of "millionaires" because of "careless" planting of sugar oranges.
Some families plant dozens of acres of Shatangju, which produces tens of thousands of kilograms of fruit per acre and 5 yuan per kilogram, and easily earns hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Shatangju, also known as October orange, has a round and flat fruit, which is orange or red. It is characterized by thin peel, high sugar content, no residue after chewing and delicate taste. It can bear fruit after three years of planting, and it will enter the full fruit stage after five years.
Shatangju has extremely high requirements on soil and temperature. At present, the most suitable producing areas for planting Shatangju are Sihui, Deqing, Fengkai, Yunfu, Yunan, Wuzhou and Guilin in Guangxi.
Xilin sugar orange
Xilin Shatangju is a specialty of Xilin County, Guangxi, and also a local landmark product.
Because the local climate belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, it won't be too hot in summer. Winter is not particularly cold, and there is plenty of sunshine and rainfall in a year.
Therefore, the local soil is loose and moist, and the fertility is high, so the sugar orange planted is very sweet, which is the best among oranges. Xilin County in Guangxi is also known as "the hometown of Shatangju in China".
Every year around 1 1 and1February, fruit vendors from all over the country will come to Xilin County to buy local Shatangju, which are exported to all parts of the country and are deeply loved by the majority of Shatangju lovers.
Why is the market of Shatangju so depressed now? 1, the supply is saturated.
Lipu County, Guangxi, as "the first county of sugar orange in China", has a planting area of 302,000 mu. If we look at the whole country, the planting area is wider, the market supply is obviously gradually saturated, and the price decline is an inevitable trend.
2. Quality problems
At present, the quality of sugar oranges sold in the market is also uneven. It is naturally difficult to sell a good price for poor quality.
3. Go public in advance
At the beginning of the listing, the price of sugar orange was attractive, which attracted some merchants to go public early, even if some fruits did not meet the good commodity standards. Coupled with the rise of e-commerce, many businesses will go public early in order to seize business opportunities, thus affecting market prices.
4. The consumption of substitutes increased.
Competing products such as Wogan, Ehime Orange, Baba Orange and Imperial Orange will also have a great impact on the sugar orange market.
