New apricot variety drives fruit industry prosperity in Mengyin

In mid-June, Jintian apricots grown at Maotian Family Farm in Zhangzigou, Mengyin County, enter the full harvest season. After years of grafting and cultivation, this high-quality fruit variety features excellent taste and appearance. The farm has developed dozens of superior fruit varieties, forming a distinctive fruit industry with local characteristics.

The ripe apricots are sold to major supermarkets and markets across Beijing, Shenzhen and other cities via online and offline channels. The farm also shares improved saplings and planting techniques with surrounding growers for free, expanding the industrial scale. By integrating fruit cultivation with rural tourism based on local unique landforms, it extends the industrial chain and diversifies profit sources.

The booming fruit industry has become a solid pillar for rural revitalization in Mengyin. Linyi will continue to support agricultural technological innovation and variety improvement, promote the integrated development of planting, processing and tourism, and help rural residents achieve sustained income growth through featured agriculture.
