Golden Passion Fruit Harvest Season Arrives in Yunnan Village as Farmers Reap Sweet Rewards

During the early winter season, the golden passion fruit harvest and picking period is in full swing. At the planting base in Bingfeng Natural Village, Xingfu Village, Xingfu Town, Yunxian County, lush green vines and plump fruits fill the fields, with golden passion fruit hanging heavily from the branches, presenting a scene of bountiful harvest across the farmland.

The base primarily cultivates the "Qinmi No. 9" golden passion fruit, which enjoys strong market demand and stable production and sales with good economic returns thanks to its excellent quality and suitability for storage and transportation. The superior soil, water, and ecological conditions of Xingfu Town create an ideal environment for the growth of specialty fruits and vegetables, and golden passion fruit has become a "prosperity fruit" that drives steady income growth for local residents.

In recent years, Xingfu Town has leveraged its resource endowments to develop specialty planting and breeding industries suited to local conditions, focusing on cultivating high-quality specialty fruits such as passion fruit, sugar apple, avocado, and abiu, continuously strengthening the endogenous momentum of rural industrial development. By revitalizing idle and scattered land, the town has promoted the conversion of abandoned and unused land into productive "prosperity fields" that yield stable income, effectively improving land use efficiency and industrial output value.

The large-scale development of specialty industries has created employment platforms on-site, absorbing local villagers for nearby work and further broadening channels for increasing household income, achieving land appreciation, industrial efficiency, and public income growth. While developing specialty planting industries, Xingfu Town has also explored an agriculture-culture-tourism integration path of "specialty planting plus picking experiences" based on its high-quality agricultural product resources, continuously strengthening local agricultural brands and extending the agricultural industry chain. Through activities such as winter countryside picking and fresh fruit tasting, the town enriches rural cultural tourism offerings and promotes the transformation of traditional agriculture toward diversified and integrated development.
