Can loquat cultivation stand out? Share your thoughts

Compared with growing vegetables and melons, loquat cultivation carries greater risk. Because loquat bears fruit only once a year, whether you make money or not depends entirely on that one harvest. So if you grow only loquat, it is very hard to cover a farming family's household expenses for the whole year.

This loquat orchard is 6 mu in size, and this year is already the second year of cultivation; it comes to market around Qingming each year. Compared with growing other crops, loquat cultivation saves a lot of effort. After all, it is a fruit tree, so you do not have to water it twice a day and fertilize every few days like vegetables. So if your family has a lot of farmland and you worry about not being able to keep up with the work, you might as well plant a few mu of loquat trees.

Back in my hometown, whenever it is time for Qingming worship, the one thing that is never missing is loquat fruit. I remember the big loquats bought during Qingming last year cost about two yuan each, and they had no loquat flavor at all, far less sweet and flavorful than this local loquat. But nowadays many people just go for good looks, so this local loquat does not sell as well as the big loquat.
