　　The “Hometown of Loquats” Shufeng has nearly 20,000 mu of loquat plantations, making it a key provincial production base and the seventh standardized loquat cultivation demonstration area. This year, the total output value of loquats in the township is expected to exceed 60 million yuan, with high-quality “Zaozhong No. 6” loquats accounting for 70%. Lin, an elderly man from the same village as Xie Wen Zhen, told the reporter that in previous years due to frost, households suffered heavy losses. Since the end of last year, the climate has been mild, and this year the Shufeng loquats hit the market about half a month earlier than usual, with yields also increased. Those with higher yields are estimated to earn fifty to sixty thousand yuan. Currently, not only are merchants from all over coming to purchase loquats, but many local citizens also come daily for picking.

　　In order to help fruit farmers grow premium loquats that are “better and unique,” and truly embark on a new path of scientific fruit cultivation, over the past year, the township has improved planting standards through technology training sessions, guiding fruit farmers to leverage their geographical and climatic advantages, strictly control quality, and develop green industries. With support from the township government, the high-quality “Shufeng” brand loquats have successively won titles such as “Famous Product of Fujian Province” and “China’s Well-Known Quality Brand,” and have obtained certifications for green food and geographical indication. Among these, the “15,000 mu organic loquat base in Shufeng Township,” recognized by the provincial environmental protection bureau, has developed into one of the green food bases for China’s Antarctic scientific expedition team.
