At 20:59 on April 25, 2024, Beijing time, the Shenzhou - 18 manned spacecraft was successfully launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province.
Zhaotong Chaoyue Agriculture Co., Ltd., as one of the eighth - batch "National Key Leading Enterprises in Agricultural Industrialization", had the great honor to participate in this major space mission. The company's "Zhaoyanghong" apples, a characteristic product of the plateau, for the first time represented Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, as fresh - food fruits supplied to the space station and contributed to China's manned space program!
Over the past six years, "Zhaoyanghong" apples have been renowned for their "bright color, proper sweet - and - sour taste, rich flavor, and fine and crispy texture". The company's original "56 production processes" and "5A - level quality standards" are well - known in the industry and recognized by a large number of consumers, carving out a path for characteristic agriculture on the Yunnan Plateau. It is truly well - deserved that "Zhaoyanghong" apples can accompany the astronauts on the Shenzhou - 18 manned space mission.
Looking up at the starry sky, space explorers never stop exploring; keeping our feet on the ground, the take - off of "Zhaoyanghong" still has a long way to go.
"Not every apple is called Zhaoyanghong."
In the future, Zhaotong Chaoyue Agriculture Co., Ltd. will continue to adhere to the philosophy of "craftsmanship, innovation, cooperation, and win - win results", and produce higher - quality products to contribute to the country's space program.
