People.cn in Hejing, Nov. 6 (Reporter Xu Ping) “Unbelievable! This hot pepper dryer is so magical. Not only the hot pepper dried has beautiful color, but also the drying time is so short. In this case, I can increase income of more than RMB 8000 by using this equipment if I grow 20 mu (1 mu=0.0667 hectare) of peppers,” Gou Shengli, a hot pepper grower in Haermodun Town said to the reporter with joy. Farmers in Haermodun Town and Elezaitewulu Township heard from village cadres that the site demonstration meeting on mechanical drying of hot pepper would be held in Elezaitewulu Township, Hejing County. Thus, all farmers got up early to arrive at the site to see the operation of the hot pepper dryer. Technicians from Liaoning HIDEAR SHENG Machinery Co., Ltd.—the drying equipment manufacturer gave a comprehensive and detailed explanation on the structure, working principle of the hot pepper drying equipment, application of hot pepper drying technology and benefit generated on site. Hot pepper, jujube, tomato and other samples were dried on site, demonstrating the advantages on popularization and application of hot pepper drying technology.
According to the information, the largest hot pepper industry base Hejing County integrating production, sales and processing has been formed in Bayingol Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture. For a long time, the hot pepper harvested only can be dried at the gobi desert, having disadvantages of long transportation distance, limited drying site, long drying time, laborious attending and high defective percentage, etc., which is not good for the sustainable development of red hot pepper industry. Moreover, the hot pepper drying technology can fully solve the disadvantages of natural drying.
Qiao Long, the Director of Hejing Agricultural Machinery Bureau, said, “the hot pepper dried mechanically not only has uniform color, but also the equipment has 100% of yield. Moreover, there is basically no blackening and other defects for mechanical drying. Naturally, the yield is increased. Natural drying of hot pepper generally takes 15- 20 days, but the mechanical drying only takes 40- 48 hours, greatly reducing the hot pepper drying time, so the hot pepper can appear on the market earlier and can be sold at a good price.”
Through manual calculation, the cost of hot pepper harvested manually and dried naturally is RMB 970 per mu, whereas the cost of hot pepper harvested and dried mechanically is RMB 551 per mu, increasing income of RMB 419 per mu. The popularization and application of hot pepper drying technology not only increases the farmers’ income, solve the employment problem, but also alleviate farmers’ labor intensity. Implementation of mechanical harvesting of all hot peppers is one of technical supports for sustainable development of red hot pepper industry in Hejing County in the future.
