"Compared to other fruits, peaches are cultivated pretty easily. The main factor influencing their growth is the weather. This year's cold weather had such an influence. On the scale of the whole country, the early varieties in particular are under produced. In some regions only half of last years quantities were produced. But the Chinese peach production region of Weishi county did not suffer any influences, because the peaches we cultivate blossom starting from March."
"The cooperative is located in Henan province, Kaifeng city, Weishi county. In 2010 we started to cultivate peaches. By 2015 there were first results. In the present stage, we have over 40 hectares of outdoor cultivation area. The varieties we cultivate are Xinnonghong, Guohong and Chunmei. Unlike most other cooperatives, we have our own organic fertiliser yard, where suitable organic fertilisers and mixed fertilisers are produced for the peaches. The cooperative also has its own refrigeration and packaging departments. Concerning logistics, we currently work together with an external logistics company."
"Since last year was our first harvest, the peaches are mainly distributed locally and in neighbouring regions. Suffering influences from the downturn of the overall market situation, the quantities sold are not ideal. Starting from this production season, we will sell throughout the whole country. We work hard to sell our products to first and second tier cities where a demand exists in the high-end market. Within a few years, we will endeavour to develop organic and ecological products. We will open picking gardens and follow a path that suits our industry."Source - http://www.freshplaza.com/
