Exclusive “184” Variety Empowers QiFuYuan and QiYuan LvFeng to Reach Strategic Cooperation
Recently, a team from Ningxia QiFuYuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. visited Ningxia Qiyuan Lvnong Linfeng Technology Co., Ltd., with the core Focusing on the core advantages and industrial implementation of the new goji berry variety “184” (Ningnong Qi 18), exclusively operated by QiFuYuan. , reached a consensus and formally established a strategic partnership.
As the core advantageous variety exclusively operated by QiFuYuan, “184” (Ningnong Qi 18) is a high-quality new variety bred through 10 years of hybridization and selection by the Ningxia Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences. It once sold for a high price of RMB 7.1 million, setting a national record for the highest single-variety transfer amount in the goji berry industry. With its remarkable comprehensive advantages, it has become the core confidence for cooperation between the two parties and the key lever for breaking through the industry. The following is a detailed analysis of the core advantages of this variety:
Summary of the Core Advantages of the “184” Variety (Ningnong Qi No. 18)
01
Varietal and Agronomic Advantages
Excellent fruit performance
· The fruit is long-ovoid in shape and plump, with an average single-fruit weight of approximately 1.04 grams for summer–autumn harvests. It is well suited for processing into a wide range of products, particularly high-end fresh-locking goji berry products, commanding high market value.
Strong high-yield and stable-yield performance
· Fruit is produced in both summer and autumn, with autumn fruit accounting for about one-third of the annual yield. On average, three-year-old trees yield approximately 1,000 kg of fresh fruit per mu and 250 kg of dried fruit per mu, representing an increase of about 15% compared with the main cultivated variety “Ningqi No. 7.” Early maturity and field management
·The tree exhibits moderate vigor, with branches of medium hardness; one- and two-year-old fruiting spurs readily flower, and the tree responds well to pruning, making field management and pruning operations convenient.
·Single-variety orchard establishment can reduce planting complexity.
02
Resilience and Adaptive Advantages
Good overall resistance: It exhibits strong stress resistance and stable tree vigor. The trees are heat-tolerant, with mature leaves displaying a deep grayish-green color, and fruiting branches remain green even during the autumn flowering period. The fruit cracking rate is approximately 35% lower than that of ‘Ningqi No. 7’.
Wide environmental adaptability: It is adaptable to various cultivation systems (open field and greenhouse) and exhibits outstanding yield stability, making it well-suited for large-scale commercial production.
03
Economic Benefit Advantages
High-end market positioning: The large-fruit trait is well-suited for high-end, freshness-preserving goji berry processing, resulting in strong premium pricing and outstanding market competitiveness. 。
Innovate cooperation models and strengthen the industrial foundation.
During this exchange, the central issue was how to establish a closer, more efficient, and more sustainable cooperation model.
QiFuYuan will leverage its strengths in market terminals, brand building, standard setting, and funding to provide clear product requirements, technical standards, and order guarantees.
Qiyuan Lufeng will leverage its extensive field-management expertise, localized organizational capabilities, and large-scale farming infrastructure to oversee the implementation and meticulous management of new varieties and innovative technologies.
By implementing targeted cultivation, standardized production practices, and guaranteed-price procurement, a collaborative mechanism is established that shares risks and benefits. This not only ensures stable incomes for growers but also enables uniformity in variety selection, farming operations, and harvesting at the source, thereby providing high-quality raw materials with consistent quality and reliable supply for subsequent sophisticated processing.
The establishment of this model is grounded in addressing the longstanding challenge of aligning small-scale production in traditional agriculture with large-scale markets, thereby laying the first line of quality assurance for the development of high-end, freshness-preserving goji berry products.
Collaborate to build a benchmark for the entire industry chain and redefine the new standard for premium freshness preservation.
Based on a high degree of consensus on the cooperation model and full confidence in the “184” new variety, the two parties have established a clear and unwavering vision for collaboration: to jointly build an industry-leading, full-chain, high-quality, freshness-preserving goji berry value chain that spans from seed variety development to the end consumer, achieving all-round upgrades and setting a new benchmark for the industry.
The core of this industrial chain will be:
·Variety-specific management: Centered on the “184” variety, establish dedicated cultivation zones and implement unified seedling production and standardized management.
·Standardized cultivation: Developing and rigorously implementing a comprehensive set of green, eco-friendly cultivation standards covering soil management, water and fertilizer application, plant protection, and harvest.
·Precision processing: Joint R&D and optimization of freshness-preserving processes tailored to the characteristics of the ‘184’ variety, maximizing the preservation of the fresh fruit’s color, aroma, taste, shape, and nutritional value.
·Systematic quality control: A end-to-end, traceable quality management system has been established, spanning from the fields to the factory, to ensure that every goji berry is safe and of premium quality.
This collaboration will go beyond a mere buyer–seller relationship; it will foster deep industry integration spanning variety selection and breeding, cultivation, processing, and marketing, jointly defining and setting a new benchmark for high-quality, freshness-preserving goji berries.
