Kiwifruits sweeten life in NW China county

China Daily  

Shaanxi province produces the largest quantity of kiwifruit in China. Before it was brought to New Zealand about a century ago and became world-renowned as kiwifruit, this humble fruit had been grown as "Chinese gooseberry" for almost 1,500 years. At the end of November, Deng Xiaoqing, a farmer in Meixian County, Baoji city of Shaanxi province, had sold out all of this year's kiwifruit harvest. The circumspective farmer dries the juicy fruits for one day after they are harvested in autumn so that they can be better preserved in the county's shared cold storage. "We will develop the industrial chains and turn the county into a major production hub of the delicious fruit," said Zhang Xinlin, director of the county's kiwifruit industrial park management committee.
