The well-known Shanghai Jiading Malu grape was planted in 1981 and has a history of 30 years. In 1992, Malu Town founded the Shanghai Malu Grape Research Institute, which was named China's "Grape Township" by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1999, upgraded to the Shanghai Grape Research Institute in 2000, and won the gold medal in the Shanghai Quality Grape Evaluation Conference in 2001.
After years of continuous exploration and introduction and improvement, there are more than 70 grape varieties in three categories: early, middle and late, including Jufeng, Fuji Minoru, Seedless White Chicken Heart, Rizamat, Pink Yadumi, Auguste, Giant Rose, Qiuhong, Xile, Jingya and so on. Around the end of June every year, early-maturing varieties are listed one after another, and the price in 2017 is about 80 yuan per kilogram.
In order to promote Shanghai Malu grapes, according to the situation in previous years, the Shanghai Malu Grape Festival will be held in early July and will last until the grapes are sold around October, and visitors can participate in a variety of activities including exhibitions, picking, tasting, and seminars. In the 2017 Grape Festival, some varieties of grape stems also have traceable QR code labels, which can be scanned to learn about grape varieties, production information, test reports, etc., and can also enter the online supermarket to buy again. In addition to the online sale of Malu grapes, there will also be a Malu grape trading market during the listing period, which is a good purchase channel.
