What about the peaches on the tree? Farmers in the suburbs of Shanghai should seize the opportunity to harvest crops, as a typhoon is approaching. | Fruits | Peaches
As Typhoon Dussuri approaches, its wind and rain impact will continue to intensify in the next two days. In order to reduce the potential adverse effects of typhoons and minimize losses for farmers, the agricultural department in the suburbs of Shanghai is actively taking action and organizing and urging farmers to seize the opportunity to harvest crops.
After receiving news of the typhoon yesterday afternoon, we arranged for workers to start harvesting. On the morning of the 27th, at the Alin Organic Farm in Fengjing Town, there was light rain in the sky and not much wind. The staff were busy harvesting vegetables and fruits. In the packaging workshop of the farm, peaches, pears, and various vegetables are piled up into small mountains, and workers are busy sorting, packaging, and shipping.

"At present, it is the ripening period for peaches and pears. If encountering a typhoon, large fruits and bagged fruits are prone to falling off, causing significant losses." Farm manager Wang Junlin told reporters that they have been harvesting peaches and pears since the afternoon of the 26th. At present, more than half of the 20 acres of flat peaches and 30 acres of pear trees on the farm have been harvested, and almost all of them will be harvested this afternoon.
"In the past, we used to pick peaches that were 80 or 90% ripe first." Wang Junlin explained that this batch of fruits was originally planned to be picked gradually within a week according to the sales plan. "Now, the sugar level of these peaches still does not meet the standard. If we could hang them on the branches for a few more days, the quality would be better, but to avoid being blown off by the typhoon, we had to harvest them first."

In order to reduce losses, Wang Junlin also keeps shouting online, hoping to achieve rapid sales through discount promotions, low-priced group buying, and other methods. The shelf life of flat peaches is only 2-3 days, but my over 20 acre peach orchard can produce nearly 20000 kilograms of flat peaches, which puts a lot of pressure on centralized marketing. Faced with the piled up small mountains of fruits, in addition to selling them as soon as possible, Wang Junlin also plans to "digest" the remaining fruits through public welfare donations and other means.
It is reported that after receiving the typhoon warning information, the agricultural department of Fengjing Town immediately notified various agricultural cooperatives and relevant personnel in the jurisdiction of the disaster warning information, organized farmers to quickly harvest mature crops, comprehensively inspect and reinforce fruit trees, greenhouse facilities, etc., timely clean and dredge field ditches and drainage systems, implement agricultural disaster prevention and reduction measures, and minimize the impact of the disaster as much as possible.
