At the northeast end of the vast Beijing suburb, there is a dazzling pearl inlaid, which is called Pinggu, a famous peach town in China.
Pinggu is surrounded by mountains on three sides and Pingchuan Valley in the middle. The mild and clean air and unique soil conditions provide good planting conditions for the development of big peach production in the whole region. According to legend, Pinggu Peach, which is famous for its "tribute to Beijing", was a royal tribute as early as the feudal emperor period. In recent years, Pinggu District Party Committee and District Government have further established the leading position of fruit industry in the mountain economy from the reality of this area. Relying on the advantages of mountain resources, they implemented the strategy of "Big Peach with One Product to Drive the War", firmly regarded fruit production as an ecological industry and an industry to enrich the people in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, and built eight fruit production bases with big peach as the leading product and an area of 35, mu, forming a pattern of fruit production and construction with a hundred miles of green fruit corridors connected with roads, water and trees.
according to the requirements of fruit safety, the Pinggu District Party Committee and the district government, proceeding from the needs of the international market, have taken practical measures to guide fruit farmers to apply more long-acting fertilizers such as organic fertilizer, special fertilizer for fruit trees and biological fertilizer, popularize the bagging technology of fruit trees, and replace highly toxic pesticides with biological control, so as to make Pinggu big peach truly become a green big peach and a high-quality big peach, and take the lead in the fierce fruit market competition. Tested by Beijing Technical Supervision Center, none of the 36 inspection indexes of the big peaches produced in Pinggu exceeded the standard, and the export qualification rate reached 1%. For this reason, the big peaches produced by Pinggu have been awarded the Gold Award and "Famous Fruit of China" in the national appraisal for many times, and have been awarded the honorary titles of China Economic Forest Peach Town, China Quality Peach Base County and China Peach Town by the relevant state departments. Especially in the autumn of 21, at the "Second Green Capital Pinggu Boutique Peach Exhibition" held in Wangfujing, Beijing, the "Jiubao" peach king with a single fruit weighing 738 grams produced in this area was bought by merchants at a gold price of 1,88 yuan, which is even more legendary.
