Inside a glass greenhouse nestled among the mountains of eastern China, clusters of cherry-sized tomatoes hang from sprawling vines like ornaments, with some glowing bright red while others are green or deep purple.
在我国东部群山之中的一座玻璃温室里,一串串樱桃般大小的西红柿悬挂在繁茂的藤蔓上,宛如装饰品,其中有些呈鲜艳的红色,而有些则呈现出绿色或深紫色。
The plants here grow not in soil, but on elevated racks about 80 cm above the ground. Inside the greenhouse, which covers an area roughly the size of two soccer fields, more than 160 rows of vines stretch into the distance. Automated shades adjust to changing (change) sunlight, while precision irrigation systems deliver water and nutrients directly to the plants. Temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels can all be monitored in real time through a smartphone.
这里的作物并非土培,而是生长在离地约80厘米的栽培架上。在占地约两个足球场大小的温室里,超过160排藤蔓铺陈开来。自动遮阳装置可随光照变化调节,而精准灌溉系统则能将水分与养分直接输送至作物。通过智能手机,还可以实时监测温室内温度、湿度和二氧化碳浓度。
The facility is part of a selenium-rich vegetable industrial (industry) park in Yudu County, Jiangxi Province, a place best known as the starting point of the Long March, the historic military campaign in modern Chinese history. Over the past two years, a research team that includes a plant genomicist from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences has developed (develop) more than 60 tomato varieties through soilless cultivation techniques.
该设施位于江西省于都县富硒蔬菜产业园,于都县作为中国近代史上长征的出发地而闻名。在过去两年里,一个包含中国科学院植物基因组学专家在内的科研团队,依托无土栽培技术,在此培育出60余个西红柿新品种。
Some of the tomatoes have reached a sweetness level above 14 on the Brix scale, a measure of sugar content. Conventional tomatoes are usually around 7. “Tomatoes are
highly sensitive (sense) to water. With smart systems, we can better control growing conditions, reduce pesticide use and improve flavor,” said Huang Hai, a technician at the farm. “Our goal is to grow the sweetest tomatoes.”
部分西红柿的甜度已达到白利糖度14度以上(衡量含糖量的指标)。而普通西红柿的甜度通常在7度左右。农场技术员黄海表示:“西红柿对水分非常敏感。借助智能系统,我们能够精准调控生长环境,减少农药使用,提升果实口感。我们的目标是培育出最甜美的西红柿。”
Today, local officials are trying to turn geography into an advantage. Yudu has selenium-rich agricultural resources, a favorable climate and relatively quick access to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, one of China’s most affluent consumer markets. Tomatoes picked in the morning can reach Shenzhen and Hong Kong the same day. Premium varieties can fetch up to 60 yuan, or about 8.8 U.S. dollars, per kg.
如今,当地政府正努力将地理条件转化为优势。于都坐拥富硒农耕资源与适宜的气候条件,且能够快速抵达国内消费能力极强的粤港澳大湾区。清晨采摘的西红柿当日便可运抵深圳、香港等地。优质品种售价最高可达每公斤60元,约合8.8美元。
In Chesheng Village, Guo Weiyong, a descendant of a Red Army soldier, has joined the tomato business. He grows nearly 7 mu, or about 0.47 hectare, of tomatoes and earns (earn) about 150,000 yuan a year. Demand, he said, is still outpacing supply. The new farms have also drawn visitors. Tourists come to Yudu to learn (learn) about the Long March and, increasingly, to see modern agriculture. In 2025, the county’s agricultural tourism revenue exceeded 500 million yuan.
在车胜村,红军后代郭伟勇投身西红柿产业。他种植了近7亩(约0.47公顷)的西红柿,年均收入可达15万元。他坦言目前市场依旧供不应求。现代化种植基地也吸引了大批游客前来游玩,游客前来感悟长征文化,也纷纷打卡参观现代农业基地。2025年,当地农业旅游收入突破5亿元。
For a county long defined (define) by a historic departure, the emerging industry signals a different kind of journey, from revolutionary memory to glasshouse farming, and from subsistence agriculture to tomatoes sweet enough to compete in some of China’s most demanding urban markets.
对于这座因长征出发地而具有历史底蕴的县城来说,新兴的产业象征着一条全新的征程:从传承红色革命记忆,到发展温室现代农业;从传统自给农业,转型培育优质高端西红柿,成功打入国内高端城市消费市场。
