At the northeast end of the vast suburb of Beijing, there is a dazzling pearl inlaid. It is called Pinggu, a famous peach town in China.
Pinggu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Pingchuan Valley in the middle. Mild and clean air and unique soil conditions provide good planting conditions for the development of big peach production in the whole region. According to legend, Pinggu peach, which is famous for its "tribute to Beijing", was a royal tribute as early as the feudal emperor period. In recent years, Pinggu District Party Committee and District Government have further established the leading position of fruit industry in the mountain economy from the reality of this area. Relying on the advantages of mountain resources, they implemented the strategy of "big peach with one product to drive the war", firmly regarded fruit production as an ecological industry and an industry to enrich the people in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, and built eight fruit production bases with big peach as the leading product and an area of 350,000 mu, forming a fruit production and construction pattern of a hundred-mile green fruit corridor connected by roads, water and trees.
According to the requirements of fruit safety and the international market demand, Pinggu District Party Committee and District Government has taken practical measures to guide fruit farmers to apply more long-term fertilizers such as organic fertilizer, special fertilizer for fruit trees, biological fertilizer, etc., popularize bagging technology for fruit trees, and replace highly toxic pesticides with biological control, so that Pinggu big peach can truly become a green big peach and a high-quality big peach, and take the lead in the fierce fruit market competition. Tested by Beijing Technical Supervision Center, none of the 36 inspection indexes of Pinggu peach exceeded the standard, and the export qualified rate reached 100%. For this reason, the big peaches produced by Pinggu have won the national appraisal gold medal and "China Famous Fruit" for many times, and have been awarded the honorary titles of China Economic Forest Peach Town, China Quality Peach Base County and China Peach Town by the relevant state departments. Especially in the autumn of 200 1, the "Nine Treasures" peach king with a single fruit weight of 738 grams was bought by merchants at the second "Green Capital Pinggu Boutique Big Peach Exhibition" held in Wangfujing, Beijing, which is even more legendary.
At present, the planting area of Pinggu peach has grown from several hundred mu in the early days of liberation to 65.438+0.68 million mu now, with more than 200 varieties, including more than 40 main varieties, forming four series of white peaches, nectarines, yellow peaches and flat peaches, with an annual output of 65.438+0.2 billion Jin of big peaches, accounting for half of the Beijing market. Now in the Beijing market, one out of every two big peaches comes from Pinggu. As a gift peach, Pinggu Peach not only attended the Zhongnanhai State Banquet, but also was placed on the viewing platform on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Thai royal family and Brunei send special personnel to Pinggu to pick fresh peaches every year. Due to the reasonable collocation of early, middle and late-maturing varieties, Pinggu fresh peaches are listed on the market from mid-June to early June every year 10. Since 1994, Pinggu has also developed a large-scale peach facility. At present, 8,000 mu of peach in greenhouse has been developed, and the time for listing fresh peaches has been extended from 5 months to 9 months, realizing the listing of peaches in four seasons. On July 26th, 2002, Pinggu District was awarded the Guinness World Record Certificate of "The County with the Largest Peach Tree Planting Area" by Shanghai Guinness Headquarters with 65,438+068,000 mu of contiguous peach forest.
The rapid development of Pinggu big peach production is largely proud of strengthening the construction of circulation system and expanding the sales market of big peaches. At present, Pinggu District has been granted the right of self-export of Datao by the state, and registered its trademark in the State Trademark Office. 1999, the region invested more than 20 million yuan to build the largest peach trading market in North China, with an annual trading volume of/kloc-0.00 million kilograms. At the same time, Pinggu District has also actively developed fruit storage and preservation, and built 8 large and medium-sized fruit preservation warehouses and more than 3,000 small fruit pits; Through cooperation with Beijing West Railway Station and Capital Airport, Pinggu District has also built a "railway and aviation corridor". Big peaches are directly supplied to more than 20 provinces and cities in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and exported to Western Europe, Singapore, Russia, Mongolia and other countries, with an annual export of fresh peaches130,000 kg. Peach juice produced by Pinggu fresh peaches is exported to dozens of countries and regions in the world, such as Asia, Europe and North America, earning more than 5 million US dollars annually. Every year in the middle and late April, the budding peach blossoms compete to bloom beautifully, which is refreshing. Looking from a distance, more than 100,000 mu of peach forest is as red as fire, like a brilliant morning glow, attracting tens of thousands of city people, artists and peach merchants to come here to enjoy flowers, splash ink and negotiate the sale of big peaches. When people walk into the peach grove, it seems that they have entered the colorful fairy tale world, and there are happy scenes of "peach blossoms set each other off" everywhere.
