By 2025, the blueberry cultivation area in China will expand further to 1.55 million mu, with total output expected to reach 897,400 tons.
The rapid growth has been driven by new varieties and advanced technologies.
“The widespread adoption of evergreen blueberry varieties, which require little to no chilling, has extended fruiting periods, enhanced fruit quality, and expanded market sales,” said Wu. He added that substrate cultivation techniques have transformed traditional growing methods and allowed for expansion into new regions.
