The once popular "fruit bagging" is now being criticized, and fruit farmers can't afford it?
The once-prevalent "fruit bagging" is now being blamed, can fruit tree operators tolerate it?
Corruption in Japan?
Before introducing the advantages and disadvantages of the fruit bagging process, we must first talk about the spoilage that is prone to occur in the production process of fruit bagging in Japan. The weather in Japan is humid, and the bag method was originally used, and there is a high probability that there will be water in the bag, which will cause the fruit to spoil. Since the fruit is packaged in a plastic bag with poor ventilation, it is likely to become moldy and spoiled. This problem is a problem that cannot be ignored when applying fruit bagging for fruit trees, which seriously affects the production and sales of fruit trees.
However, in recent years, due to the development of science and technology, the method of fruit bagging has gradually overcome this problem fundamentally. Plastic bags made of high-permeability materials not only make the fruit drier, but also help it breathe. This method allows the fruit in the bag to receive sufficient sunlight and ventilation, thus reducing the danger of fruit spoilage.
Worse taste, worse nutrition?
In addition, the resistance to fruit bagging is also due to the decline in the taste and nutritional value of the fruit. Since the fruit is packaged in a plastic bag, there is no direct contact with the fruit, which affects the photosynthesis of the fruit. Photosynthesis refers to a biological activity that converts various nutrients (such as carbohydrates, vitamins, etc.) into energy through light energy in nature. After bagging the fruit, the fruit is directly exposed to sunlight, which will lead to the decrease of the photosynthetic rate of the fruit, which will have a certain impact on the taste and nutritional quality of the fruit.
In addition, bagging cultivation will also make the fruit smaller and less sweet. Bagging restricts the growth and development of fruits, so that the fruits do not get enough nutrients, and the size and sugar content of fruits are lower than those of ordinary fruits.
Is it damage to the environment, or is it damage to the ecology?
At present, after the fruit trees are bagged, they have a great impact on the surrounding environment. Globally, tens of billions of plastic bags are consumed every day around the world, and their manufacturing and disposal bring heavy pressure on environmental protection. Due to its refractory nature in nature, it has existed in nature for a long time and has caused great harm to land and water resources.
In addition, bagging requires the application of pesticides. Fruit trees in the orchard should be sprayed with pesticides regularly to protect the fruit from pests and insect pests. However, the overuse of pesticides not only poses a great threat to ecological security and human health. Both fruit tree growers and people who have been exposed to pesticide contamination for a long time can be exposed to pesticide residues, which can have a detrimental effect on their bodies.
Rising prices and market panic?
The bagging cultivation method increases the cultivation cost, such as buying bags, labor, etc., thereby improving the quality of the fruit. For consumers, rising prices will make them reluctant to buy cheap fruit or cut back on spending. Bagging is also a time-consuming and laborious task for growers, and if it is not favored by consumers, it can cause unsalable goods, which in turn will reduce the farmer's profits.
In addition, fruit bag cultivation also has certain market risks. Some customers feel that bagging is not in line with the principle of natural cultivation, so they are reluctant to buy bags. As the market shrinks, growers will face reduced sales and revenues.
In general, the bag method currently used in Japan has many problems such as fruit rotting, declining flavor and nutritional value, environmental pollution and ecological damage, and consumer disgust. This method has a good effect on the pest control of fruit trees, but there are also many unfavorable factors, which should be comprehensively considered and dealt with in the production process.
