随着近年来全球气候的异常波动,例如在2024年,北美地区遭遇倒春寒侵袭,美国中西部蔬菜产区降雪量更是较往年增加了30%;而南半球的澳大利亚在2024年则持续高温干旱,昆士兰州2024年2月气温突破45年同期峰值。极端天气导致两地新鲜叶菜供应量锐减。当气候无常已成常态,冷冻蔬菜成为了全球家庭365天的营养保障。
据美国农业贸易署(FATUS)最新数据,2024年前四个月中国冷冻菠菜对美出口量达2.1万吨,同比增长22.3%,占美国冷冻菠菜进口总量的61%。澳大利亚进口食品管理局(AIFA)同期报告显示,来自中国的冷冻菠菜进口量突破1.2万吨,同比增长15.8%,创历史新高。国际营养学会(ISN)认证显示,采用-35℃急冻技术的菠菜维生素C保有率达新鲜采收时的92%,叶酸含量优于传统冷藏蔬菜37%。逐年气候的异常,正推动着全球对冷冻蔬菜的需求。
根据2024年11月到2025年2月初对中国四大主产区气温和降水的分析,北方产区若后续的2月中旬到3月中旬的时间段内不发生突然的雨夹雪的灾害和倒春寒灾害,需关注昼夜温差和早春干旱对叶片品质的影响,则气候有利于菠菜越冬,3月采收可能提前且产量稳定;南方产区倒春寒风险较高,低温可能延缓菠菜成熟或引发病害,可能影响采收期集中度和叶片质量。如果气温能够维持在0°C到10°C之间,土壤湿度能达到65%-80%之间,那可望今年的中国菠菜产量不会出现大的减产。
这样,经过我们低温速冻的工艺,将菠菜基地的春日鲜嫩完整封存,无论是您在纽约公寓的晨间Smoothie,还是在悉尼海岸的晚餐焗菠菜,只需3分钟解冻即可还原现摘的口感。
With the abnormal fluctuations in the global climate in recent years, for example, in 2024, North America was hit by a late Spring cold snap, and the snowfall in the vegetable-producing areas of the Midwest of the United States increased by 30% compared with previous years; while Australia in the southern hemisphere continued to experience high temperatures and drought in 2024, and the temperature in Queensland in February 2024 exceeded the peak in the same period in 45 years. Extreme bad weather has led to a sharp drop in the supply of fresh leafy vegetables in both places. When climate change has become the norm, IQF vegetables have become a 365-day nutritional guarantee for families around the world.
According to the latest data from the U.S. Agricultural Trade Service (FATUS), China's export of frozen spinach to the United States reached 21,000 tons in the first four months of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 22.3%, accounting for 61% of the total frozen spinach imports to the United States. The Australian Import Food Administration (AIFA) reported during the same period that import of frozen spinach from China mainland exceeded 12,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 15.8%, setting a record high. Certification by the International Society for Nutrition (ISN) shows that the vitamin C retention rate of spinach under -35℃ quick freezing technology reaches 92% of that of fresh harvest, and the folic acid content is 37% higher than that of traditional refrigerated vegetables. The abnormal climate year by year is driving global demand for frozen vegetables.
According to the analysis of temperature and precipitation in Chinese four major production areas from November 2024 to early February 2025, if there is no sudden rain and snow disaster and late spring cold disaster in the northern production areas from mid-February to mid-March, it is necessary to pay attention to the impact of the temperature difference between day and night and early spring drought on leaf quality. The climate is conducive to spinach overwintering, and the harvest in March may be advanced with stable yields; the risk of late spring cold in the southern production areas is higher, and low temperatures may delay the maturity of spinach or cause diseases, which may affect the concentration of the harvest period and leaf quality. If the temperature can be maintained between 0°C and 10°C and the soil moisture can reach between 65% and 80%, it is expected that China's spinach production will not decrease significantly this year.
In this way, the Spring freshness of the spinach base is completely preserved through our quick freezing process. Whether it is your morning smoothie in your New York apartment or baked spinach for dinner on the Sydney coast, it only takes 3 minutes to thaw and restore the original taste of picked fresh spinach.
