Zhuanglang's apple industry is currently experiencing a golden period of development, with impressive figures highlighting its robust industrial vitality. This year, the county's apple output is expected to reach 800,000 tons, with projected sales exceeding 4.5 billion yuan. The total output value of the entire industrial chain has successfully surpassed 6 billion yuan, demonstrating simultaneous growth in both scale and economic benefits.
To address bottlenecks in industrial development, the Zhuanglang County Fruit Station has actively sought project support. So far, it has led the construction of 53 fruit storage facilities with a total storage capacity of 300,000 tons, effectively solving post-harvest storage challenges and laying a solid foundation for long-term industrial growth.
As a representative enterprise in local fruit storage, Maoyuan Fruit Co., Ltd. has established an intelligent apple sorting line with a daily capacity of 20 tons. Additionally, it has built 22 storage units with a total capacity of 15,000 tons, making it a key hub for apple "freshness circulation." "Our annual storage volume is about 15,000 tons, with merchants from Guangdong, Henan, Chongqing, and local farmers filling up the inventory. Fresh apples are now being shipped nationwide," said Zhu Lili, General Manager of Maoyuan Fruit.
Behind these numbers lie the hard work of countless individuals and the true pulse of the industry. A visit to Maoyuan Fruit's storage area reveals a bustling yet orderly workflow, where simple words tell vivid stories along the industrial chain.
Currently, Maoyuan Fruit processes and stores an average of 5,000 tons of apples daily, with annual sales exceeding 40 million yuan. The company has also created employment opportunities for 150 local workers. From the fruits on the trees to warehouse logistics and increased income for residents, Zhuanglang's apple industry is forging a prosperous path integrating "production, storage, and sales," achieving a win-win scenario for industrial growth and community prosperity.
