Recently, it was the peak season for the pineapple market. However, pineapple and other tropical fruits in the provinces of Qiongyue and Guangdong were slow-moving and fell into an embarrassing situation of “no busy season”. The industry believes that the development of deep processing and the extension of the industrial chain can be expected to solve the problem. 3. The vicious circle of hurting farmers is also the key to improving industrial competitiveness.
Deep Processing Solution 'Fruit and Injury Farmers' Problem The level of mechanization of pineapple remains to be improved
It is understood that the pineapple planting area in China is nearly one million mu, with a total output of more than 1.5 million tons, which is mainly concentrated in Hainan and Guangdong provinces. The area accounts for 20% and 60% of the country respectively. Among them, more than half is mainly used for fresh food, and other 30% is used for processing, but the processing of tropical fruits such as pineapple generally lags behind, and the scale is too small. Low-end development is still a 'stumbling block' for the extension of the entire industrial chain. Therefore, the pineapple processing industry needs further improvement.
The author has learned that many localities are stepping up their cooperation with pineapple processing companies to open up enough horsepower to expand the production capacity of pineapple processing in order to solve the problems of low prices and unsatisfactory sales. As mentioned above, the two provinces of Qiongyue and Guangdong are preventing Injury farmers' active search for a way out.
In fact, the slow sales of pineapple is not oversupply. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the improvement of the quality of pineapple, the demand for pineapple market in China is relatively large. However, pineapple deep processing products are mostly dependent on imports each year, such as pineapple fresh fruit, canned food, pineapple juice and so on. In addition to the failure of pineapple processing to keep up to date, one of the most important reasons is harvesting. Sorting depends entirely on labor, low efficiency, high labor costs, pineapple harvesting, and the mechanization of sorting links needs to be promoted.
According to relevant sources, at present, pineapple picking robots have emerged in the market, mainly relying on the action of manual picking, and the picking of pineapple is achieved through the cooperation of clamping and cutting two movements. This kind of machinery is passed by manpower and manipulators. The combination not only improves the efficiency of picking, but also avoids the direct contact between the hands and the leaves and fruits of the pineapple, which leads to the risk of being stabbed.
For sorters, commonly used equipment is mostly used for sorting products with smaller bodies, such as apples, peaches, cherries, tomatoes, garlic, etc. However, many sorting equipments can be set according to the diameter of the raw materials, or the company can The sorting of products requires custom sorting equipment to meet the processing requirements. The use of sorting equipment not only sorts fast and has high precision, but also reduces manual operations, effectively avoiding collisions, stabs, and guarantees in the sorting process. The quality of pineapple.
Of course, the mechanization level of harvesting and sorting is also conducive to the realization of pineapple production and processing line operations. According to relevant sources, many pineapple processing plants in many places are mainly canned and juice-based, with a single product and a low degree of mechanization. High cost, low efficiency, and low market competitiveness. The author was informed that the pineapple processing plant of a company in Zhanjiang has basically automated, mechanized, and other key links such as cleaning, sorting, and peeling. In addition to saving labor costs after full mechanization, Also reduces the risk of food filing.
The occurrence of low prices and unsafe sales of fruits and vegetables has occurred from time to time. Some places have been actively exploring the way of deep processing and accelerating industrial upgrading and efficiency. At the same time, relevant food machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises are also required to innovate processing technologies to increase the level of mechanization and promote Pineapple small processing made big industry, enhance market competitiveness.
