Xiqu grape cut production, high quality and low price

Right now is the season for grape market. Affected by the spring frost, this year's lower grape volume is less expensive, and the quality is the best in years.

Reporter: We can see that in the grape fields of Xiqu Village in Shebang Township, Maiji District, there are villagers busy collecting grapes... This spring rain and snow conditions caused the grapes in the villagers' homes. All were affected, and villagers told us that this year's grape production has been greatly reduced compared to previous years.

The villager Xiao Maizhong planted more than three acres of grapes. Last year he could sell more than 9,000 yuan. The average mu will cost more than 3,000 yuan. However, when he brought the harvest this year, he shook his head again and again.

Xiao Maizhong, a villager in Xiqu Village, Maiji District, said: This year, the income from this year is relatively two-thirds less than last year.

Reporter: This piece of land is one of the vineyards of villagers Lu Yangang’s family. He told us that last year only eight parts of the land had received more than 5,000 kilograms, but this year’s crop was less than three kilograms.

Lv Yangang, a villager of Xiqu Village in Maiji District, said: According to this eight-point plan last year, it would sell 5,000 yuan. This year, it would be good to sell 3,000 yuan.

Zhou Chundong, director of Xiqu Village, Maiji District, said: This year's harvest is not as good as it used to be in previous years.... The frost below the Xishan Mountain is also slightly lighter. It is mainly due to the reduction of production in Dongshan and Zhongshan by more than two-thirds, and half of Xishan’s production cuts.

A snowfall this spring caused serious damage to the grapes that were sprouting, resulting in a large area of ​​decline in the grapes. However, the price of the lower grape has risen steadily. Supply is in short supply.

Wang Yong, a grape dealer, said: This year's price is the best year. The best quality can sell two pieces of six cents, and the bad ones sell a piece of seven or eight. The best one last year was to sell a piece of eight, a common piece of two or three. Only a few cents was sold in previous years.

Reporter: Master Wang, who has acquired grapes for more than 20 years, is very touched and tells us that although the grapes have lost production, the quality of the grapes is the best year in years.

Zhou Chundong, director of Xiqu Village, Maiji District, said: The quality has been improved, and the technology for making objects has become more refined. The quality is better than in previous years, that is, the decline in output has affected the income of the villagers. (Zhou Jie, Ling Wenhui)
