Nestled in the northeastern foothills of the Pamir Plateau, the plum trees of Kashi have been nourished by meltwater for over two millennium. Today, prunes… a fruit loved by health-conscious consumers worldwide… thrive in this fertile land.
The unique combination of sunlight, heat, and sharp temperature contrasts between day and night make the prunes grown here superior even to many imported varieties.
In this modern industrial park, Jiashi county has established a state-of-the-art packing system with support from Guangdong Province. Automated sorting, warehousing and cold-chain logistics make sure the fresh prunes reach consumers across China in top condition. Over 20 deep-processing enterprises have set up operations within the park, producing dried prunes, NFC pulp, and other value-added products. Food science experts from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences are here to assist in the development of new products.
This year, Jiashi County has planted 38,000 hectares of prunes. Output is expected to reach 350-thousand tons, adding another 15,000 yuan, or 2,000 US dollars, to the county's per capita income. The total output value of prunes is expected to reach 32-billion yuan, or more than 4 billion US dollars, next year.
