Farming Blueberries in China 在中国种植蓝莓
Although China has a centuries-long history of using Vaccinium relatives of blueberry for the production of jam, juice, and black rice, commercial growing of highbush blueberry (V. corymbosum) became well-established only after 2000. After 20 years of concerted development, blueberry cultivation is soaring throughout China, with production on more than 60,000 hectares exceeding 320,000 tons in 2020. Blueberry consumption has increased significantly as consumers become more aware of the fruit’s nutritional benefits.
尽管中国使用蓝莓的近缘种生产果酱、果汁和黑米的历史已有数百年之久,但高丛蓝莓(V. corymbosum)的商业种植在2000年后才得到充分发展。经过20年的协同发展,中国各地的蓝莓种植发展迅速。2020年,中国的种植面积超过6万公顷,产量达32万吨。随着消费者对蓝莓营养价值的深入了解,蓝莓的消费量也显著增加。
With its immense size, China demonstrates vast geographical diversity, from fertile lowlands to craggy mountains, and from high tablelands to ocean-bordering coastways. China’s blueberry season reaches from January through August, and notably almost all of the yield is consumed domestically.
中国幅员辽阔,地形多样,从肥沃的低地到崎岖的山地,从高原到沿海地带,均显示出巨大的地理多样性。因此,中国的蓝莓季节从1月一直持续到8月。值得注意的是,几乎所有的产量都在国内消费。
