Because it is the first year of harvest, and the first South Island Agricultural Fair will start next month.
Therefore, not only Jiang Qingyue's team but also everyone in the Nanfan Institute attached great importance to this harvest.
Even the local newspapers and television stations were paying close attention and reporting the entire process.
For this reason, Su Ling and the other three members of the group felt extremely stressed.
Afraid something might go wrong.
Jiang Qingyue could only comfort the three of them and tell them to keep calm.
It's the first time anyway, so even if it's not as successful as expected, it would just be embarrassing at best.
Fortunately, the data collected after the harvest exceeded everyone's expectations.
There are thousands of small fruits in a bunch of oil palm fruits.
The fruit yield per mu is more than 1,000 kilograms.
Except for those kept for seeds, the rest were all sent to the oil press.
As soon as the statistical data from the oil press came out, even Dean Hu, who had been mentally prepared, became nervous.
Dean Jin and others who were far away in Beijing but were paying close attention to the situation also called immediately.
This is because everyone was shocked by the oil yield of palm oil which exceeded 55%.
After all, even in Southeast Asia, where oil palm is produced in abundance, the oil yield can barely reach 50%.
This is equivalent to a tree producing more than 80 kilograms of oil in a year.
It is more than 10 times the output of ordinary soybean oil.
Moreover, the oil palm fruit contains pulp and kernel.
The oil extracted from the pulp is already a very healthy cooking oil.
Not to mention the kernels, which are great for making cosmetics and high-end snacks.
Even the residue left over from oil extraction is currently the best feed.
Originally, everyone only had a rough impression and knew that oil palm was called the world's oil king abroad.
However, because it has not been popularized, it has not been taken seriously.
Now, after being improved by Jiang Qingyue's team, this conclusion quickly caused an uproar in the country.
Only then did everyone realize that this thing produced such a high amount of oil.
If it can be planted on a large scale in the South Island, not only will we no longer have to worry about oil shortages in the future, we may even be able to export it abroad.
Upon learning the result, Xiao Hui, Miao Miao and Su Ling all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don’t have to worry anymore.
Jiang Qingyue was very calm. After all, this number was slightly different from the data she had calculated before.
But probably because it is the first crop, the yield will increase as the trees grow older.
After learning of this result, everyone in the Nanfan Academy was cheered up.
I always feel like I have been proud of myself.
Although they are all brother units, they always compete and compare with units in other places secretly.
Especially the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing.
Because of this matter, Dean Hu has been answering phone calls almost all the time while working in the past two days.
There were calls from agricultural science academies in other regions.
There are also media organizations from all over the world.
Whether you know them or not, you will always call to congratulate them.
Jiang Qingyue even received congratulations from Anka from Country M.
While everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest, Jiang Qingyue had already begun to consider the next plan.
It is difficult to convince farmers who actually want to plant the crops based on yield alone.
After all, it takes several years just to maintain the seedlings in the early stages.
If the squeezed oil cannot be sold, the same problem will arise as there is no market for it.
Although it was the 1980s, the country's oil supply was still very tight.
Salad oil had not yet really entered households, and most families would buy fatty meat and cook it themselves and then eat it slowly.
I can’t bear to put too much in stir-fry.
As for food processing plants, the urgency for oil is even greater.
Therefore, anything fried in the world seems to be very precious.
Nowadays, developed countries outside use palm oil for bulk food processing.
Safe quality and low price.
So after Jiang Qingyue got the oil from the oil press, her first thought was to promote it to those food processing factories.
Jiang Qingyue was afraid that her ideas were too strange and difficult for people to accept.
So I specially made a plan and gave it to President Hu for review.
Dean Hu was stunned for a long time after reading it, and Jiang Qingyue was so scared that she quickly asked with a smile, "Dean Hu, am I going a little too far?"
After all, she is just a scientific researcher.
But I always want to do promotion.
Dean Hu came back to his senses and laughed, "No, I just didn't expect you to do this. You thought about it in a way that was beyond my expectation—"
"As a scientific researcher, you not only think about cultivating the plants, but also think about their economic value and uses, as well as how to promote them. This is very rare."
Jiang Qingyue was a little embarrassed by the compliment, "I also thought that I worked hard to cultivate it, and I don't want it to become an empty shell, but to promote it in a practical way."
Dean Hu nodded, his tone full of sincere admiration, "Very good, I will also learn from you, so that the crops cultivated by our researchers with great effort can play a role and form a virtuous circle."
Then, Dean Hu asked her some more questions.
Jiang Qingyue answered them one by one.
According to the investigation she conducted and the advice given by Professor M Guoanka.
The oil extracted from palm fruit pulp can be used to make instant noodles, various fried snacks, and various fried foods such as French fries and fried chicken. In short, it has the same uses as ordinary cooking oil.
The oil extracted from the nuts is of higher quality and can be used to make cosmetics and high-end soaps.
It can even be used to make ice cream, chocolate candy fat substitute, margarine, etc.
