The full harvest season has come to the pineapple plantations in Xuwen county of Zhanjiang, Guangdong province.
Dubbed the sea of pineapples, the plantations total 23,333 hectares, generating about 700,000 tons of the tropical fruit every year — 38 percent of the national total and 60 percent of the production in Guangdong.
In a recent survey trip to the county, Ye Zhenqin, a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial Party Committee, urged continued efforts in the areas of marketing, quality control, industrial chain restructuring and big data for high-quality development of the pineapple sector.
