Hejian Crisp Pear

　　Hejian specialty Crisp Pear: Aiming to improve the quality of Crisp Pears and produce pollution-free food, Hejian City in Hebei Province has established model bases, summarized experience, and produced "Meiyu Brand Crisp Pears," which are exported to Europe, America, Canada, and Southeast Asian countries, winning high praise from domestic and international merchants. Xinglongdian Village has a population of over 650 and more than 800 acres of pear orchards, mainly growing Hebei Crisp Pears. In the pear fields to the north of the village, there are 113 old pear trees over 130 years old that remain lush and fruitful every year, and even the youngest trees are over 20 years old. The Crisp Pears produced in the village are favored in the market due to their large size, smooth skin, high sugar content, low pest incidence, well-formed fruits, and high yield of marketable pears. This year, EU merchants visited Xinglongdian Village twice for inspection and established a GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) fresh pear export base. The pear farmers strictly follow the standards set by the EU merchants for pruning, weeding, irrigation, applying organic fertilizer, and spraying bio-pesticides. They implement scientific methods for sterilization and pest control, and separate the storage of organic fertilizer and pesticides, primarily using fermented chicken manure. Merchants have also assigned specialists to supervise the farmers’ standardized management practices, provide regular training for the farmers, and conduct annual health checkups for management personnel. The implementation of these standardized management measures has significantly improved the quality and market competitiveness of the Crisp Pears.
