In the sun-drenched fields of Zhangye City in northwest China’s Gansu Province, grape farmers are busier than ever. As the grapes reach their peak ripeness, clusters of green, crystal-clear fruits hang heavily from the vines, ready for harvest.
The harvest season has arrived, and the vineyards are abuzz with activity. Farmers are meticulously picking the grapes, ensuring only the finest make it to market. With skillful hands, they sort and pack the fruit, preparing it for distribution.
“This year’s harvest is exceptionally good,” says Li Ming, a local farmer. “We’ve had ideal weather conditions, and the grapes are sweet and juicy.”
The grapes from Zhangye’s industrial park are not just staying local. They are being shipped to eager customers across China, including provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and regions like the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Qinghai, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The nationwide demand for these high-quality grapes highlights the success of Gansu’s agricultural initiatives. The province has been focusing on modernizing its farming techniques and expanding its market reach.
For farmers like Li Ming, this means greater opportunities and a brighter future. “We are proud to share the fruits of our labor with people all over the country,” he says with a smile.
