At the Jufeng citrus cooperative of Baihongxi village, Gaobazhou county, two large citrus-carrying trucks parked in front of the door, the farmers whose faces are filled with the joy of harvest are selling their own early ripening citruses carried here by tricycles. In golden autumn, the early ripening citrus of Yidu has been quietly listed. However, how are the crops and the sales?
Xiang Fabin, a citrus farmer, said that the sales are not bad this year. Among these early ripening citruses, the sales volume of exceptional-ripening type had reached ten thousand kilograms at present, with 2.4 yuan per kilogram; common-ripening type was just getting started to sell, because it was not the time for its mass listing. Generally speaking, the citrus sales situation was better than that in last year and the price of it was slightly higher.
According to reports, in Yidu, citrus planting area reaches 31.8 million mu this year, of which 15.3 million mu are early-ripening citruses planting area. And the expected production of early ripening citrus is 267,000 tons. (Reporter: Cao Yang, Correspondent: Jiang Jinchao)
