"This year we have encountered drought, but to guarantee the quality and yields of our cherries, we are still using drip irrigation. Our Yantai cherries are expected to be available in the market on 21 May, " said Mr. Wang from Lufeng Agricultural Cultivation Ltd in Muping District of Yantai, Shandong.
Cherries from different cultivation areas in China enter the domestic market at different time of the year. The supply of cherries from Bailuyuan of Shanxi province starts round 5, May; those from Zaozhuang and Taian of Shandong province are available from 20, May and Dalian cherries won't be available until around 10, June. Close to the sea, the temperature differences in Yantai and Dalian are big between the day and night, so the cherries here contain more sugar. Also, because the cherry trees here bloom later than the inland area, the fruits are harder and more tasty. In addition, with a long history and great experience in fruit cultivation, the overall quality of cherries from this area is relatively satisfying.
"I've been in this business for 12 years, starting as a purchaser 10 years ago, then as a seller on Taobao 5 years ago and became a micro-boss 3 years ago. By following the changing marketing channels, I've managed to score sales in bigger quantities. People working in the fruit business in this region know me as the "Cherry Guy", and thus my cherries sell quickly most of the time.
I've been focusing on providing top-quality cherries and have been cultivating different varieties. I also consult experts in the industry and learn new ways to manage my plantation, to improve the quality of my fruit," said Mr. Wang.
