China has a large strawberry cultivation area and has indeed set a world record in this regard.
1. Reasons for large cultivation area
Consumer demand
China has a huge population with a growing appetite for strawberries. Strawberries are popular due to their sweet taste, rich nutrition (containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants), and their versatility in use, such as being eaten fresh, in desserts, or used in processed products like strawberry jam.
Suitable climate and geographical conditions in multiple regions
China has diverse climates, from warm temperate to subtropical regions. Areas like Shandong, Liaoning in the north, and Yunnan in the south are all suitable for strawberry cultivation. For example, the winter warm greenhouse cultivation in Shandong can make use of local solar energy resources to ensure strawberry growth during the cold season, and Yunnan's mild climate allows for off season strawberry production.
Technological progress in cultivation
Improvement in greenhouse technology enables precise control of temperature, humidity, and light conditions for strawberry growth. For instance, modern intelligent greenhouses can automatically adjust environmental parameters, which not only increases the yield per unit area but also allows for multi season cultivation in some areas, thus expanding the overall cultivation area.
Economic benefits for farmers
Strawberry cultivation can bring relatively high economic returns to farmers. The short growth cycle and high market price, especially for high quality varieties, encourage more farmers to engage in strawberry cultivation, which in turn promotes the expansion of the cultivation area.
