Sour jujube harvest brings vitality to mountain villages in Xinzhuang Town, Feixian

Wild sour jujube trees across mountain valleys of Xinzhuang Town, Feixian County enter ripening harvest season. Bright‑red sour jujube fruits hang all over mountain slopes. The small‑sized characteristic mountain crop has grown into an important industry that helps mountain‑side villagers boost household income.

Local villagers walk into mountain orchards for seasonal picking. Fresh sour jujubes are supplied to fresh‑fruit markets, processing workshops and e‑commerce livestream sales channels. Processed derivatives including sour‑jujube sauce, preserved fruit and health‑oriented beverage raw materials further lift product added value.

Xinzhuang Town keeps expanding the whole industrial chain for sour‑jujube industry: standardized planting guidance, primary and deep‑processing capacity building, brand building and online‑offline market expansion. Rural agritourism projects featuring sour‑jujube picking experience are also developed to enrich income channels for local mountain residents.

Local agricultural departments deliver technical guidance for pest prevention, harvest timing and post‑harvest storage. Authorities will continue to polish the mountain‑specialty agricultural brand and turn wild‑resource advantages into steady wealth‑generating capacity for mountain‑zone villages.
