Revitalizing the Huazhou Orange Industry with an Internet-Based Model

The Juyue Jiapin team, deeply entrenched in Huazhou County, Maoming City, identified and tackled three major challenges plaguing the local orange industry: insufficient cultivation practices, obsolete processing techniques, and lackluster sales strategies. Through collaborative research and development with the Huazhou Agricultural Science Institute, the team spearheaded innovations in seedlings and processing equipment, collaborated with Jinan University's Food Laboratory to craft novel orange derivatives, fostered ties with enterprise cooperatives for sales expansion, propelling a renaissance in Huazhou's orange sector, and augmenting farmers' incomes. During expert evaluations, judges advised on sustaining the project post-graduation and leveraging governmental policies for future promotion. The endeavor clinched both the Best Project Award and the Most Popular Award.
