Although fruit processing in hot areas has a certain scale, and the candied fruit and preserved fruit processing industry, which mainly sells domestically, has both production and sales, it is mostly at the workshop level. Canned fruits include pineapples, lychees, citrus slices, etc. There is a certain market for export, but the product level is not high and the raw materials are expensive and the cost is high, which limits production development. Juices include orange juice, pineapple juice, passion fruit juice, guava juice, etc. There are many beverage production lines, but most juices have extremely low content. Although raw juice and concentrated juice are the direction of fresh juice production, my country's production volume is limited. The reasons are: ① Focus on the introduction of advanced equipment and neglecting the construction and supporting facilities of production bases for processing raw materials. The lack of processing scale for raw fruit fruits has resulted in some advanced processing plants having insufficient food and short production seasons; ② Some of the introduced advanced equipment lacks supporting comprehensive utilization equipment and technology, and generally only produces a single product with poor efficiency; ③ Raw material variety selection and production The configuration is unreasonable, the utilization rate of processing equipment is low, and the idle time is long; ④ Impacted by the cheap and fake "Three Essence" beverages on the market, there is a lack of patent protection.
Juice ranks first in the world's fruit processing. 75% of oranges in the United States and more than 95% of oranges in the main producing area of ??Florida are used to process concentrated orange juice; 60% to 70% of Brazilian oranges (mainly summer oranges) % is used to produce concentrated juice. The development of the fruit juice processing industry in my country should follow the path of integration of trade, industry and agriculture. With processing plants as leading enterprises, a "company + farmer" joint enterprise should be organized to arrange fruit types and varieties according to processing needs, especially to reasonably arrange production periods to ensure the supply of processing raw materials. The main varieties of orange juice raw materials can be Huazhou orange, snow orange, summer orange, and grapefruit. Pineapple, passion fruit, guava, carambola, custard apple, mango, etc. are all very distinctive juice raw material varieties. More importantly, Pay attention to the development of emblica, olives, wild small fruits, and some original juices or concentrated juices of health-care and nutritious fruits. And gradually develop and form a series of concentrated juice, original juice, juice drinks and mixed juice drinks with different flavors and functions to improve equipment utilization, reduce costs and increase benefits. Canned fruits focus on the development of canned lychees and longan, and improve and consolidate the production of canned pineapples. The production of dried and preserved fruits should increase the degree of mechanization, improve the processing technology, and carry out comprehensive utilization; constantly develop new varieties, improve packaging and decoration, and enhance product quality.
The fruit processing industry is an extension of the agricultural industry. It is not only relatively independent, but also a comprehensive and high-efficiency industry. The processing industry cannot be considered in isolation as an emergency measure to solve excess and inferior raw materials. Instead, it should focus on developing the processing industry and improving economic benefits, and coordinate everything from processing variety selection, cultivation, raw material supply to processing technology optimization and finished product packaging and sales. planning.
