Wuxi Honey Peach Fire Goes Overseas

Yangshan Town, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province is a nationally renowned hometown of honey peaches. According to CCTV Finance, in order to overcome the impact of the plum rain and scorching heat, the local government has increased its efforts to assist farmers this year by organizing peach farmers’ associations to collaborate with various e-commerce platforms to assist peach farmers in sales and exports.

The general manager of a cooperative in Yangshan, Wuxi, said, “This year’s sales are very optimistic, with significant growth in online sales through live streaming. At its peak, it can reach 5000 to 10000 boxes per day, an increase of nearly 10 times compared to last year’s sales.

It is understood that the quality of Yangshan honey peaches is very excellent, meeting the quarantine standards for exported fruits. The price of peach this year has slightly increased compared to last year. A peach weighing over one kilogram can be sold for over 200 yuan domestically this year, 308 yuan if exported to Singapore, and 508 yuan if exported further to Dubai.

The person in charge of export sales said, “Peaches are very popular abroad. The order volume in Singapore is around 800-1000 boxes, and the order volume in Dubai is also around 1000 boxes. They can be exported 2-3 times a week.

In 2022, the planting area of Yangshan honey peach reached 38000 acres. With moderate mechanization of planting, the entire peach industry chain has an output value of nearly 2 billion yuan, and the per capita disposable income of farmers exceeds 62000 yuan.

After seeing this news, some netizens said, “I want to eat it!” “This peach can be directly inserted into a straw to suck!” Another netizen said, “Wuxi peach is quite large, but I think Fenghua peach is better in terms of taste.
