There are more than 400 kinds of blueberries, which are distributed all over the world. The name of blueberry comes from English blueberry, which means blue berry. It is a perennial green leaf or evergreen shrub with berries. The earliest country of blueberry cultivation is the United States, but the cultivation history is less than a hundred years. Because of its high health care value, it is popular all over the world. It is one of the five healthy fruits recommended by FAO.
There are many wild species resources of blueberry plants in northern China, such as Vaccinium uliginosum (commonly known as Vaccinium uliginosum, Vaccinium uliginosum) and Vaccinium uliginosum (commonly known as red beans), which naturally grow in Changbai Mountain and Daxinganling Mountains in the northeast. Blueberries planted here have unique flavor, sweet and sour taste, good taste, edible, and can also be used as drinks, spices and brewing. Because of scarce resources, difficult picking and rich nutrition, the price of wild blueberries has been high. The wild blueberries in Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing 'anling Mountain were originally picked from frozen soil by local residents, and the quantity is very small, so most processing enterprises can only complete processing and sales through acquisition. Due to the uniqueness of resources in Northeast China and the support of the government, many enterprises and R&D institutions are slowly involved, and blueberries are getting more and more attention. At present, there are two major R&D institutions of blueberry: Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing 'anling, and Alante Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd. is a typical R&D institution in Heilongjiang. The R&D institutions in Changbai Mountain area are represented by Blue Boat Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd.
In southern China, Vaccinium plants are mainly distributed in southwestern provinces, and Vaccinium bracteatum is a tree species with high utilization value.
Blueberry planting in China started late, mainly from north high, half high, short and rabbit eye blueberries. It is geographically dispersed. By the spring of 2009, the planting area was about 20,000 mu, mainly distributed in Shandong, Jilin, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Guizhou and Yunnan. Among them, Shandong Province has the largest industrialized planting area, and Wolin Agriculture (Qingdao) Co., Ltd., located in Jiaonan, Qingdao, now has a scale base of 15, with a planting area of 6580 mu. In addition, Lan Jian Organic Blueberry Planting Base in Zhuanghe, Liaoning produces organic blueberries and can supply fresh organic blueberries from May to June. It is a rising star specializing in blueberry planting.
Blueberries produced in Oceania are also world-class blueberries. Commonly known as: Australian blueberry.
