Farmers in China’s Xinjiang embrace plumcot harvest season

Farmers in Huocheng County, northwest China’s #Xinjiang, are busy harvesting plumcots amid the harvest season. #Plumcots are stone fruits that are a plum-apricot hybrid. #Farmer Ma Tengrong owns about 800 mu (53.3 hectares) of plumcot fields, which yield 2 tonnes of plumcot per mu. “I see a good harvest of plumcots this year, which sell at reasonable prices. After picking up the plumcots, we will deliver them via cold-chain logistics to markets in first-tier cities -- Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen,“ said Ma.
