Tarim Muddy Harvest in Xinjiang Province

In the fall season, nearly 650,000 mu of jujube trees in the Ararat District of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in the upper reaches of the Tarim River in Xinjiang are crammed with heavy fruits. Walking into any of the jujube gardens and looking forward, the jujube covered with trees resembling the size of a small egg is full of branches. It is very gratifying. However, the harvest did not bring too much joy to the juvenile farmers. The jujube that had already entered the sales season had long since passed. This year it has become desolate.

At this time of last year, there was a busy scene in the jujube garden in this area. Buyers and processing companies from both inside and outside Xinjiang had already set up their products, and the deposits went to the accounts of the juvenile farmers. In this year's Zaoyuan, buyers are rarely seen, and most date farmers have not signed an order.

This year, fragrant pears and other fruit products are very popular, except for the sale of red dates. The same red dates, the same season, how could such a big contrast? The journalist made an interview about this.

At present, the area of ​​jujube gardens belonging to the Alar District is not less than 320,000 mu. The date processing enterprises in Alar City are not large in scale, and red dates mainly rely on acquisitions by foreign buyers. Last year, the date of the red dates acquisition was due to rain, and many jujube dates were cracked. Even then, the jujube farmers who signed the order were sold at a price of 18 yuan to 25 yuan per kilogram. This year's jujube is much more knotted and grows better than last year. There are very few rips. But until now, no one has come to buy it.

It is understood that the reasons for the high yield of red dates but difficult to sell in the region are as follows: First, since last year's jujube harvested when it encountered rain, most red dates appear cracks, and many merchants have only lowered their prices due to the signing of orders. Sales, most buyers basically did not make money but also down a lot of losses; Second, last year, the supply of red jujube production areas in the mainland tight, many buyers to Xinjiang to buy red dates, a group of newly completed red dates processing companies are also competing to acquire, hoard products As a result, the price of red dates will be "fried" higher. At present, red jujube processing enterprises in the Aksu region are stocked with at least 10,000 tons of red dates, and the raw materials produced by enterprises are basically saturated.

According to relevant personage analysis: The general purchase price of gray dates should be between 25 yuan and 30 yuan per kilogram, jujube should be between 15 yuan and 20 yuan. However, last year, the average price of gray jujube was 60 yuan per kilogram, and the average price of jujube was 25 yuan per kilogram. This high price has deterred many red dates buyers this year. Resulting in the phenomenon of selling hard red dates, until the time of writing, the local price of red dates is still not determined, but there are all kinds of false claims, black dates 22 yuan, jujube still floating in 10 yuan.
