Shangtian Strawberries

　　Shangtian strawberries are a specialty of Shangtian Town, Fenghua City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. Fenghua’s Shangtian Town is known as the "Hometown of Strawberries in China," boasting tens of thousands of acres of strawberry fields. The strawberries are large, sweet, brightly colored, and highly nutritious, making them very popular with visitors.

　　The southeastern part of Shangtian Town is abundant in rice, strawberries, watermelons, vegetables, and other cash crops, earning it the titles of "China’s No. 1 Strawberry Town" and "Zhejiang’s Strawberry Hometown." The 5,000-acre greenhouse strawberry fields in Lengxi Village are particularly outstanding. In recent years, the town has successively established a strawberry "purchasing and sales center," a "Farmers’ Strawberry Association," and a "Strawberry Research Institute." It has also introduced 16 leading agricultural enterprises mainly engaged in processing strawberry and other raw materials, effectively promoting a modern agricultural model that integrates planting, breeding, processing, production, supply, sales, trade, industry, and agriculture.

　　Under superior geographical conditions and through standardized green cultivation management, the strawberries produced in Shangtian are large, high-quality, delicious, fragrant, and rich in nutrients. They contain essential vitamins A, B, C, and amino acids needed by the human body. According to tests by the National Agricultural Ministry’s Green Food Quality Supervision and Testing Center: the soluble solids content of the fresh "Fengxiang" strawberry variety is 8%, with a sugar content of 10 degrees; premium large-fruited varieties such as "Hongjia" and "Zhangji" have a sugar content of 12 degrees, reaching up to 14.5 degrees. Their taste is pleasantly sweet and sour, and all product quality and pesticide residue indicators meet national green food standards. These are top-tier green fruits, offering excellent benefits for skin beauty, health preservation, cancer prevention, and longevity.
