Fresh corn is sweet and sweet, and the planting area is becoming increasingly widespread. In the southeastern region of my country, fresh corn is even more popular, the consumer market is expanding, and eating fresh corn is gradually regarded as "fashion".
After six successful sessions, the 2019 National Fresh Corn Academic Seminar and the Southern Fresh Corn Conference will be held in Hefei, Anhui from June 17 to 19. Before this, reporters from Southern Rural News visited Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other "free shipping areas" to visit their fresh corn cultivation and consumption.
The first stop, please follow our steps into Anhui. Please stay tuned for more reports on the fresh corn industry in the future
In recent years, residents in the Yangtze River Delta region have always been at the forefront of the pursuit of high-quality, healthy and nutritious life. The emergence of fresh corn has injected a heart-warming agent into the diversification of the local dietary structure. Located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, it is a transitional area between the warm temperate zone and the subtropical zone. The climate in Anhui is relatively suitable for the growth and development of fresh corn. The self-cultivated varieties in the province have from nothing to , and the planting area of has steadily increased. The fresh corn industry in Anhui Province has broad prospects.
is taking step by step, and self-cultivated varieties have emerged
"For Anhui, the biggest change this year is that the amount of sweet corn planting in exceeds glutinous corn ." Deng Jiacai, chairman of the Caiyun Agricultural Products Production and Sales Professional Cooperative in Wuwei County, Anhui, told reporters. At present, the sweet corn planting area in Anhui Province has climbed from 40% last year to 70%, and the glutinous corn planting area has dropped from 60% to 30%.
From the initial glutinous corn cultivation to the mainstream, to the successful rise of sweet corn, the fresh corn industry in Anhui Province is seeking change while maintaining the pace of consumption step by step. From the early Su Yu Nuo series varieties to the current "Wannuo 2000", "Caitian Nuo No. 6" and Tai Tian series, the varieties in Anhui Province are relatively chaotic and relatively single, most of which are quoted from other places, and the market share of self-cultivated varieties in the province is relatively low.
"Anhui Province began to grow corn on a large scale since the early 1990s. Fresh corn gradually formed an industry around 2000. " Wang Shiji, director of the Cultivation Office of the Corn Research Center of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, introduced. As one of the main fresh corn production areas in Anhui Province, Wuhu County, Wuwei County, is one of the best early planting bases in the country. From its forward steps, we can see the trend of fresh corn varieties in the province.
992, "Su Yunuo No. 1" and "Su Yunuo No. 2" were the first to develop in Wuwei County. This series of varieties produced by Jiangsu Grain have long dominated the Anhui market. It was not until 2001 that the Jingke Nuo series was born. As a milestone in the fresh corn industry in my country, Jingke Nutou series is constantly updated, and varieties that are more suitable for the market are constantly emerging. "Anhui Province has fresh corn, weak scientific research strength, less project and capital investment, coupled with scarce germplasm resources, poor variety resistance and poor quality, there are not many good varieties on the market." Yu Haibing, professor at Anhui University of Science and Technology, mentioned. Breeding started late, and all scientific research institutions in Anhui Province, including Anhui University of Science and Technology, Anhui Agricultural University, and Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, have never dared to relax.

In 2005, the " Fengnuo 2146" independently selected and bred by Anhui University of Science and Technology passed the national review and began to be widely promoted. "'Fengnuo 2146' has outstanding output and quality performance, and has thin skin and good glutinousness. " said Yu Haibing. "Fengnuo 2146" was bred by Liu Zheng, a professor at Anhui University of Science and Technology. He was the first breeder in Anhui Province to engage in glutinous corn breeding in the country in the late 1980s. The first glutinous corn hybrid in Anhui Province, " Anban No. 5 ", has filled the gap in the province's self-bred varieties of fresh corn.

" Until now, "'Fengnuo2146' is still the trial comparison variety of fresh corn area in Anhui Province. "Yu Haibing said that as a member of the corn science and technology innovation team of Anhui Academy of Sciences, Yu Haibing inherited Liu Zheng's corn business and was determined to work hard in the research and development of local varieties in Anhui Province.This team of advantageous innovation in the field of corn breeding in Anhui Province has continued to breed a series of new corn varieties such as Wanyu No. 8, Wanyu No. 13, Fengnuo 2146, Fengnuo 2004, and Fengnuo No. 1 , laying a good foundation for the research and development of fresh corn seed industry in Anhui Province.
At present, these three scientific research forces in the province each perform their duties in the fresh corn chain and jointly contribute to the fresh corn industry in Anhui Province. Anhui University of Science and Technology mainly carries out hybrid breeding mainly glutinous corn; Anhui Agricultural University carries out research on variety selection and breeding, comprehensive utilization of corn resources, etc.; Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences conducts research on fresh corn planting and processing technology and industrialization comprehensive development.
Now, in the fresh corn planting in Anhui, sweet corn is mainly grown in Xiantian No. 5, Jinzhongyu, Xiawang, Antian 210, Yuetian No. 16, Yuetian No. 27, Green Superman, Guangtian No. 5, etc.; glutinous corn is mainly grown in Su Yunuo No. 5, Su Yunuo No. 11, Jingke Nuo No. 2000, Wannuo 2000, Fengnuo 2146, Antian 5, etc.; sweet and glutinous corn varieties are mainly Caitian 6, etc. The area of
has steadily increased. The base planting
varieties is the core. Backed by the constantly optimized fresh corn varieties, the planting area of fresh corn in Anhui Province has maintained a steady and increasing development trend. The development bases mainly include Wuhu, Bengbu, Suzhou, Bozhou, Fuyang, Anqing, Chizhou, Huangshan, etc. According to Li Nengshuan, the head of Xinyuan Village, Baitu Town, Wuwei County, 70% of the 4,700 acres of arable land in the village are now replaced by spring corn, and summer corn is then planted later. In addition, Wang Shiji also mentioned, "Now, the number of wheat sarcoids in south of the Huai River has increased. Coupled with the adjustment of the planting structure, the wheat planting area has been greatly reduced. In the winter of , the number of idle fields used to grow fresh corn has naturally increased ."
In the environment of the integration of the first, second and third industries, the cumulative promotion area of the province has exceeded 2 million mu; in the Jiangnan areas such as Chaohu, Anqing, Wuhu, Chizhou, and Huangshan in Anhui Province, the cumulative promotion area has exceeded 1.6 million mu. "The fresh corn in Anhui Province has been circulated in all parts of the country and in Southeast Asia." Deng Jiacai said.
"The planting area of fresh corn in Anhui is increasing year by year, but it is still mainly based on decentralized planting at one household." Yu Haibing said, "Now, various large-scale planting models are slowly emerging." In Wuwei County, the main production area of fresh corn in Anhui, relatively large-scale production and operation can be achieved. In the production area, there are many cooperatives such as Anhui Wuwei County Caiyun Agricultural Product Production and Sales Professional Cooperative, which are mainly operated by the cooperative in the form of "seeding" + "acquisition" , providing one-stop service from seed selection, planting management to sales. "The base is matched according to the variety of market demand, and farmers' planting standards are guaranteed," said Deng Jiacai.
In addition, models such as city surrounding markets + farmers, tourist attractions + farmers... are also slowly emerging. From new varieties to new models to exploration, Anhui Province’s fresh corn industry can bring new surprises at every stage.
is on the market and has many difficulties in the development of the industry
With the continuous development of the fresh corn industry in Anhui Province, the planting area has expanded year by year, and many contradictions in the industry have gradually emerged. "Now, the seasonal launch of is a big problem. The planting time is unreasonable, the launch season is uneven, and the market embarrassing situation of 'peak seasons are rotten and the off-season is interrupted' often happens." Deng Jiacai pointed out.
It is understood that the harvest and market time of fresh corn in Anhui Province is concentrated from early June to mid-August. During this period, it is mainly supplied by Hainan, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places. During the peak market period, there is often a "roller coaster" phenomenon. Nie Weibao, head of the maintenance and vegetable wholesale department of Zhougudui Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in Hefei, told reporters that the purchase price of fresh corn can reach 2.7-2.9 yuan/jin around May this year, and when local fresh corn is on the market in June, the price will drop. "Although the sales of do not need to be worried about, the price in the peak season is too low, and we are trading at a loss every day. ," said Nie Weibao.

Fresh fruit ears are cheap when they are on the market in large quantities, and the depth of extension of the industrial chain and the degree of industrial integration are insufficient, resulting in "high yields but no bumper harvests, no bumper harvests but no added value" has become a problem for local growers. " The entire industrial chain in Anhui Province has not yet formed a scale, and the degree of standardization is generally low. " said Wang Shiji. These are the bottlenecks in the rapid development of the fresh corn industry in Anhui Province.
reporters found that the yield and quality of fresh corn in Anhui Province have been greatly improved, but the preservation and processing of sweet and glutinous corn is relatively lagging behind , which is mainly attributed to the lack of leading industrial enterprises specializing in fresh corn processing. Most of the processed products in the province are purchased and processed by enterprises engaged in vegetable and meat processing, and there is no professional and technical guarantee. "The processed products sold on the market now mainly come from Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin and other places." Deng Jiacai said.

At the same time, enterprises adjust the purchase volume at any time according to their own development and market conditions, or conduct price-pressure purchases, so that farmers' planting benefits will not be guaranteed; on the contrary, farmers will also decide on sales methods based on market conditions, resulting in the purchase and processing of fresh corn without raw materials, and the resource utilization and processing capabilities are low.
In addition, the supporting technologies for high-yield and efficient green cultivation are not yet mature and difficult to promote in production, lack of unified standards for disease and pest control, and lack of supervision on the use of pesticides, which leads to the low commodity quality and safety of the product. Some farmers still adopt extensive methods to grow fresh corn, which has also affected the yield, quality and benefits of fresh corn.
