I. Foreign planting situation

1. Overview of North American production

The United States and Canada are the cradles of blueberries, so their research level and industrial production have always been in the forefront of the world. In the past 10 years, Washington and Oregon have developed rapidly, with an average planting area of 30% and a total output of more than 200,000 tons.

2. Overview of European production

Germany has a long history of cultivation, and the cultivation area is concentrated in the northern region, mainly with high-bush blueberry varieties. By 1999, the planting area will reach 1000 hectares. Poland's goal is to export to Germany and Britain, harvest wild fruits and export to all countries in the world.

3. Overview of production in Oceania:

At the end of 1970s, technology was introduced and planting began, with an area of 1990 reaching 1700 hectares. On the basis of introduction, some excellent varieties suitable for domestic climate were bred through hybridization, and their fresh fruits were exported to North America and Europe.

4. General situation of production in South America

After 1990s, Chile and Argentina began to develop blueberries, 98% of which were exported, and the planting area increased by 30% ~ 50% every year, reaching 2,500 hectares in 2003, with a total output of 6,543,800 tons. Among them, almost all blueberry industries in Chile use tissue culture technology to raise seedlings, and no obvious pests and diseases have occurred so far.

5. Overview of production in other regions

In 2003, the national planting area in Japan was 300 hectares, and the output was about 3,000 tons, which was only 7% of the domestic demand. Import 50,000 tons every year. At present, it is cultivated in more than 30 countries around the world, with a total area of about 6.5438+0.2 million hectares, and the products are in short supply.

Two. Cultivation in China

The development of blueberry planting industry in China is slow. At present, the planting area of blueberry in China is about 400 hectares. At present, it is mainly distributed in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Inner Mongolia, Anhui and other provinces1/kloc-0.

Blueberry products and their market demand and prospect

I. Blueberry products

Because of the special health care value of blueberry, the deep processing market of blueberry products is very broad. Referring to the current market situation in Japan, blueberry processing includes the following aspects:

(1) food, mainly fruit juice, jam, fruit wine, etc.

(2) Health products, eye care products, elderly care products, etc.

(3) blueberry anthocyanin

Two. international market

Because blueberry has unique nutritional and health care functions, it is in great demand in the international market, and the price is expensive, and the products are in short supply. Current international market price:

(1) Fresh fruit sales: USA: 10-20 USD/kg. Japan: 30-50 USD/kg.

(2) Fresh fruit export: USA: 8- 15 USD/kg. Chile: 12-25 USD/kg. Poland 5-8 USD/kg.

(3) Frozen fruit: 2600-4000 USD/ton.

(4) Concentrated juice: 30,000-40,000 USD/ton, which is 30-40 times that of concentrated apple juice.

(5) Blueberry pigment: 380-450 USD/kg (above 25%)

Three. home market

At present, Chinese people do not fully understand blueberries, and there are few blueberries and blueberry products on the market. Most of the fresh blueberry fruits sold by high-class hotels in some big cities in China are imported from Europe and America, and the price is as high as RMB/kg in 400 yuan. However, with the development of China's economy and the further improvement of people's living standards, I believe that in the near future, blueberries and their products will definitely enter the homes of ordinary people.
