Xinjiang expands greenhouse blueberry production for winter market

The development, led by Xinjiang Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Investment Group, includes 300 greenhouses and supporting cold chain infrastructure. With an investment of 660 million yuan (US$95.5 million), the project also includes water and energy systems, road access, and three cold chain and sorting centres.
Construction began in August 2025, with 126 greenhouses already planted. Annual production is projected at over 1,500 tons, with an estimated value of 120 million yuan (US$17.4 million).
Why this matters: This matters when it gives operators a clearer way to manage water, nutrients, and root-zone risk. That kind of control usually improves both resource efficiency and crop consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should growers evaluate before changing a lighting strategy?
They should look at crop type, canopy structure, current light distribution, energy cost, expected yield gain, and whether the new strategy improves whole-canopy efficiency.
Why is light distribution often as important as light quantity?
Because adding more photons to already saturated leaves does less work than improving how light reaches the parts of the canopy that are still underperforming.
