There is a custom in Fujian and Taiwan. During every festival, you always buy some pineapples to worship your ancestors, in order to bring prosperity to your family. The cultivation of pineapples in Chengxi has a long history. As early as the 1930s, Sarawak thornless pineapples began to be planted. Due to poor quality, Taiwanese thorny pineapples were introduced from Guangdong in 1960. First, trial planting was carried out in Xiazhuang, Renjia, Shangping, Dingye and other places. Through continuous improvement of varieties and optimization of planting structure, it was gradually extended to all villages in the town. The peak area of ??pineapple planting in Chengxi Town reached 120,000 acres. Now, Mainly distributed in Shangping, Coukeng, Renjia, Fushan, Guanyuan, Yangkui, Donglou and other villages, the total planting area is 45,000 acres, with an annual output of about 55,000 tons of pineapples, accounting for 7.1% of my country’s total pineapple output. The unique environment of the largest pineapple production base in Fujian Province breeds its unique quality. The town is located in the western mountainous area of ??Longhai City, Fujian Province. It is located at 117.5 degrees east longitude and 24.25 degrees north latitude. It has a subtropical oceanic climate, with an average annual temperature of 21°C, an effective accumulated temperature of 7666.3°C, a frost-free period of more than 350 days, and an annual rainfall of 1371.3 mm. , the soil is deep and fertile, and the mountainous areas are mostly acidic red loam, which is very suitable for pineapple cultivation. Therefore, its excellent quality, attractive aroma and unique taste are favored by customers and enjoy a high reputation in Southeast Asia.

Scientific cultivation and management technology creates high quality. In order to make Chengxi pineapples of better quality and ultimately green, the Chengxi Town Party Committee and Government attach great importance to continuously improving and cultivating varieties. After years of repeated practice, they have summarized a set of high-yield and high-quality off-season pineapple cultivation techniques and proposed the "Four Four" "Change" (change small seedling planting to large seedling planting, change mountain planting to field planting, change natural fruiting to scientific fruit acceleration, change naked fruit overwintering to covering and anti-freezing) cultivation methods, and promote them throughout the town. After the promotion of off-season planting technology, pineapples that originally budded naturally in April-May and matured in July-August were able to bloom off-season in August-September and scientifically adjust the flowering period, so that the fruits would not be ready until March-May of the following year. Mature, this time coincides with the off-season of fruits, and the market is good and the price is high. Pineapple planting is most afraid of frost. In order to protect the pineapple fruits over the winter, we summarized many years of planting experience and scientifically adopted the scientific management method of bagging the fruits and covering them with mulch, commonly known as "wearing clothes, hats and quilts" to protect pineapples through the winter safely. Today, Chengxi pineapples are no longer subject to seasonal restrictions and are available year-round. They can be called "four-season fruits." This off-season cultivation technology was recommended to CCTV after expert demonstration in May 1999. As a new technology for getting rich in rural areas, it was broadcast on the second set of the Central Committee's "Golden Land" column in October of the same year, and was radiated to specialty industries across the country through television. , to create the "Chengxi Pineapple" brand. Due to the excellent quality of Chengxi pineapples, scientific management, strict control of the amount of chemical fertilizers, and refusal to use pesticides. Chengxi Pineapple, which applied for a registered trademark (No. 3166260) on April 30, 2002, passed the approval of the Fujian Provincial Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau in May this year and was allowed to use the pollution-free agricultural product mark Chengxi Pineapple for processed products. There are many kinds, mainly including Chengxi dried pineapple slices, Chengxi canned pineapple, Chengxi pineapple juice, quick-frozen pineapple chunks, Chengxi pineapple jam, etc. Chengxi dried pineapple is golden and translucent in color, delicious in taste, and is round or square in shape. , can be eaten dry or mixed into tea.
