In the golden autumn season, 300,000 mu of winter dates in Zhanhua District, Binzhou City entered the picking and harvesting season, and the local area accelerated picking, sorting, packaging, and export sales to meet the demand for overseas orders.
Recently, in the courtyard of Yuhua Fruit and Vegetable Import and Export Co., Ltd., Dagao Town, Zhanhua District, workers were nervously and orderly sorting out the packaged winter dates. The full-grained, bright-colored winter dates are about to be shipped to Canada and are expected to arrive in 50 days.
"After this batch of winter dates is sorted out, the workers will immediately load it into a container, and then it will be sent out." Mu Xin'an, general manager of Yuhua Fruit and Vegetable Import and Export Co., Ltd., said to the staff. According to reports, trucks loaded with fresh winter dates departed from the company's courtyard to Qingdao Port, a port in Shandong, and 20,000 kilograms of winter dates were about to board a cargo ship heading abroad.
At present, Yuhua Fruit and Vegetable Import and Export Co., Ltd. has obtained 2,000 tons of overseas winter jujube orders, which can achieve an export of 60 million yuan. "The quality of this year's winter dates is very good, the demand from foreign customers is increasing, and there are many customers who are adding orders in the past two days. Up to now, our winter dates have been exported to 17 countries, and the international brand awareness of 'Dipping Winter Dates' is getting higher and higher. Speaking of the export of winter dates to the international market, Mu Xinan is full of confidence.
As one of the main production areas of winter jujube, Dagao Town aims to do a good job in the two main lines of winter jujube planting and winter jujube sales, with an average annual output of about 30,000 tons and sales of 200 million yuan. Although the numbers are considerable, for many years, the sales channel has been single, the sales bottleneck cannot be broken, and the income of the masses has gradually been unable to meet the growing material needs. After the town party committee and government organized many inspections, it was decided to take Yuhua Fruit and Vegetable Import and Export Co., Ltd. as a pilot enterprise for the export of winter dates in Dagao Town, to carry out point-to-point and one-to-one support construction, and actively seek the help of Binzhou Customs and other relevant departments and units to create a new path for the export of winter dates.
In order to ensure the smooth export of winter jujube overseas, Binzhou Customs has vigorously assisted the construction of Yuhua fruit and vegetable winter jujube plantation and its packaging plant, organized special staff to interpret the plant quarantine requirements and precautions for the export of fresh jujube required by various countries to the enterprise one by one, and focused on monitoring more than 200 indicators such as quarantine pest monitoring and agrochemical input that are concerned by foreign countries, guided the jujube garden to improve the whole chain traceability system and the transformation and upgrading of packaging plants, and urged enterprises to standardize production and operation from the source. And issue a plant quarantine certificate for the enterprise, so as to get the "ticket" for the export of winter dates. It is thanks to the precise guidance of Binzhou Customs and other departments that the overseas winter date export business in Dagao Town is becoming more and more prosperous.
"We actively help enterprises expand the export business of winter dates, establish a full-chain traceability system for jujube orchards, and assist Yuhua Fruit and Vegetable Import and Export Company to upgrade and transform the packaging workshop, all of which meet the quarantine requirements. Zhang Xueqian, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and mayor of Dagao Town, said.
Only when the quality of winter dates is guaranteed, export orders will continue to flow. In recent years, Zhanhua District has paid attention to the improvement of the quality of winter dates, actively promoted industrial transformation and upgrading, and vigorously implemented the "double increase and double lifting" project under the guidance of party building. Dagao Town closely followed the pace of high-quality development of the whole region, built three winter jujube export bases including Liucun in Ashdui, and implemented unified management in accordance with the model of "branch leading cooperatives + farmers + enterprises", which effectively improved the quality of winter jujube and the competitiveness of the international market.
"Exports, so that Zhanhua winter jujube occupies a place in the international market, but also further improve the popularity of Zhanhua winter jujube, increase the income of the masses. In the next step, we will continue to expand the export scale of winter jujube, so that the popularity of Zhanhua winter jujube in the international market will become higher and higher. Cui Jinling, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dagao Town, said.
Today, from "crossing mountains and mountains" to "drifting across the ocean", Zhanhua winter dates have been successfully exported to 17 countries including United States, Canada, Netherlands, Singapore and Thailand through 193 testing indicators.
