With recent rising temperatures, the strawberry farms in Xuzhuang village, Jiangyan district's Jiangduo town, have entered peak harvest season.
Villagers work around the clock picking, sorting, and packaging ripe red strawberries in greenhouses. With a daily output of 1,500 kilograms, the freshly harvested berries are transported via cold chain logistics, reaching supermarkets and wholesale markets in surrounding areas on the same day.

As a flagship agricultural project in Jiangduo town, Xuzhuang village has been cultivating premium strawberry varieties since 2022 under the guidance of experts from the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Advanced techniques such as intelligent temperature control and integrated water and fertilizer management have significantly enhanced quality and yield. In 2025, per-mu production is expected to stabilize at 1,500 kg, further strengthening the village's position in high-quality strawberry farming.
