Investigation On Zizyphus Jujuba Resource’s Current Status And Analysis Of Development Prospects In Jiaxian Of Shaanxi

Zizyphus jujuba is a kind of tree that can bring income and unique in China, which also enjoys a longstory and wide range of cultivation. Jiaxian in Shaanxi Province locates in the middle part of the YellowRiver and to west of Shanxi, Shaanxi canyon in the middle. The location is the best area suitable forZizyphus jujuba, as well as the origin. As a famous place known for Zizyphus jujuba, Jiaxian plays a vitalpart in the development of the industry. In recent years, quite a few experts and forestry technicians havedone researches in the choice of qualified variety, management techniques in production and thedistribution and have issued papers and articles, however, they fail to figure out and organize the resourcesin Jiaxian. There has two kind of Zizyphus species, including Zizyphus jujuba and Zizyphus spinosa. Howto develop the feature resource both efficiently and continually is one of the priorities in Jiaxian.The article aims to study the current situation of Jiaxian, tendency and resources both domestic andabroad in a way of the combination of actual investigation and literature review. Through the organizationof the variety resources, cultural history, regional distribution, cultivation management, processing andutilization of Zizyphus jujuba in Jiaxian, the author discovers deficiencies in the development. Thespecific problems are as follows. Firstly, main cultivated varieties are still the traditional varieties,which means the old qualified kind is now on the way of degeneration with less production and worsequality. Secondly, natural disasters severely influence the production and quality. Thirdly, the lack oftechnology in the cultivation and management leads to the consequence of fewer guarantees on productionand quality. Fourthly, the level of procession and utilization causes the low income without a large scale onthe market and the failure in preserve and storage. Fifthly, there are little gathering or institution so there isno convenient sale access on the internet. When the information is not updated timely, the sale access isblocked, the produce, naturally, will lose the power of competition and occupation. Sixthly, the servicesystem in Jiaxian is not complete. Seventhly, the valuable resources in Jiaxian is not fully made use of. Theauthor analyzes the reason in this and figures out the following, the lack of awareness and techniques incultivation, the shortage of authorities’ focus, the low competence of processing works, no specialtyinstitution, and no unified planning. In allusion to Zizyphus jujuba base construction, processing, marketingand government functions, the paper proposes the following countermeasure of the Zizyphus jujubaresources exploitation:(1)Cultivate and popularize the good varieties to improve the Zizyphus jujubaproduction.(2)Enhance the management of Zizyphus jujuba cultivation in all respects of its production to realize the intensive management and improve its quality.(3)Expand the scale of organic Zizyphus jujubaproduction.(4)Establish ecological Zizyphus jujuba yards by simulating natural ecosystems in construction.(5)Improve the products’ traditional process and focus on the preservation of their nutritional value.(6)Strive to develop processing of new Zizyphus jujuba products and especially the deep processing so asto realize product diversification and improve the economic benefit.(7)Make proper use of the by-productsafter Zizyphus jujuba processing to reduce the waste of resources.(8)Enhance the standardized productprocessing and brand effect for the sake of Zizyphus jujuba quality assurance.(9)Establish a perfect systemto balance the supply and demand.(10)Exploit the sales market both in China and abroad to promote theinternational operation.(11)Set up a management department for Zizyphus jujuba.(12)Set up a productquality testing center in Jiaxian.(13)Set up a warning system related to disastrous weather.(14)Makeefforts to strengthen the Zizyphus jujuba industry.(15)Construct a modern Zizyphus jujuba industrial parkof Jiaxian.(16)Build a Zizyphus jujuba production assurance system and provide necessary support ofcredit funds.(17)Increase the investment in science and technology.(18)Help making local farmers highlyorganized and informationized to realize the information management.(19)Give more publicity to JiaxianZizyphus jujuba brand. According to the research, we can know something about the current situation ofthe Zizyphus jujuba resources in Jiaxian and then make for the protection and utilization of high-qualityZizyphus jujuba varieties. Therefore, it can provide with theoretical foundation for Zizyphus jujubapreservation and offer some help for relevant scientific researches.
