Planting situation Wild kiwifruit has a thousand-year-old growth history in Xixia, and artificial cultivation has a history of more than 40 years. 20 Xixia Huangshi Village Wanmu Kiwifruit Demonstration Park In 2009, Xixia County has 400,000 mu of wild kiwifruit resources, with a relatively concentrated area of ​​154,000 mu, and an annual production capacity of 10 million kg, ranking at the county level in China. First, it is a cross-distribution area of ​​rare Chinese kiwifruit, delicious kiwifruit and soft jujube kiwifruit in the world with its concentrated distribution, high quality and variety. Xixia is the earliest area for artificial cultivation of kiwifruit in China. China's first large-scale artificial breeding was successful, and China's first kiwifruit artificial cultivation base was established. As early as in the 1970s, the county took the lead in setting up a county-level kiwifruit research institute, the Xixia Kiwifruit Research Institute, and trained a group of scientific and technological personnel represented by Zhu Hongyun, a national-level outstanding kiwifruit expert. Suitable for Xixia planting, such as "Hayward", "Huamei series", "Huaguang series", "and" Yuhuang series u0026quot; and a number of excellent varieties. By the end of 2009, the county has built 100,000 mu of kiwifruit artificial base. In 2009, the fruit-bearing area reached 35,000 mu and the output was 36 million kilograms. The base size and output are second only to Zhouzhi County in Shaanxi, ranking second in the country. Among them, the world-famous "Hayward" has an area of ​​more than 50,000 mu, accounting for 40% of the total area of ​​China's "Hayward". Product processing While vigorously developing the artificial kiwifruit base and developing and utilizing the wild resources, the Xixia County-induced Xixia fruit harvested the rapid development of the kiwifruit kiwifruit storage and deep processing industry. By the end of 2009, the county had built 75 fresh-keeping warehouses with a storage capacity of 8,500 tons. In terms of processing, a number of processing enterprises such as Xixia Huabang Company, Fulaier Southern Aviation Food Company and Nianfu Food Co., Ltd. have been established, with an annual processing capacity of 20,000 tons.
