In the golden autumn harvest season, Qianli Farm in Qingyang City, a major apple-producing area in Gansu Province, reaped a bumper harvest across thousands of mu of Ruixue apple orchards. Thanks to professional protective products including Anti-bird Net and specialized orchard supplies, the farm avoided massive economic losses amid frequent severe hailstorms this year. Meanwhile, newly built high-efficiency orchards with new apple varieties in Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, yielded their first fruits this year, brimming with joy.
"In another township of Jixian County this year, there was an orchard bearing top-quality apples. Unfortunately, a severe hailstorm hit the farm, damaging nearly one-third of the fruits. The apples were originally expected to sell for no less than 4.5 yuan per jin, yet the price dropped to under 3 yuan in the end, resulting in huge losses. The orchard produced around 400,000 jin of apples. Even calculating a loss of just 1 yuan per jin, the total loss reached 400,000 yuan. This fully proves that high-quality Agricultural Net and related protective products play an enormous role in safeguarding orchard profits."
As a national pacesetter in the development of modern fruit farming, Weihai has accumulated rich and successful experience in orchard disaster prevention and mitigation among numerous local orchards. Our product range covers multiple categories, from Fishing Net for aquaculture, Construction Safety Net for engineering protection to practical Household Net for daily use, catering to diverse market demands.
"Our apple trees are in their second year of fruiting and still in the young tree stage. We were deeply concerned that late spring frosts would affect fruit set. Therefore, we set up protective nets early in spring. When sudden temperature drops occur in spring, the temperature under the nets stays about 1°C higher than the outside environment, effectively improving the microclimate. Do not underestimate this small temperature rise — it guarantees stable fruit set and greatly reduces fruit russeting."
These three apple planting bases thousands of miles apart were once unrelated to one another, yet they are now closely connected by a single type of netting. The manufacturer behind this protective "armor" that safeguards orchard harvests is Xinghaiyuan Netting, a local enterprise based in Weihai. Our flagship product, Orchard Multifunctional Protective Net & Accessories, has become the most trusted choice for fruit growers nationwide.
"We successfully completed all production tasks in 2024 and achieved new progress in domestic market promotion. Throughout the year, our multi-functional protective products and supporting accessories for fruit farm disaster prevention and mitigation covered an area of over 200,000 square meters nationwide. Our products are mainly applied in standardized orchards for apples, pears, peaches, blueberries, strawberries and sweet cherries. In recent years, especially this year, we have promoted our products on a large scale in standardized orchards across Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Yunnan and Xinjiang, and the feedback on application performance has been highly positive."
Behind these remarkable achievements lies decades of persistent exploration by Li Wei, founder of Xinghaiyuan, and his R&D and technical team. Founded in 2001, the company initially focused heavily on export business. Though its staff were thoroughly familiar with foreign agricultural net products, they saw room for improvement. After three years of dedicated technological research, they developed the multi-functional protective net capable of defending against birds, strong winds, hailstorms, frosts and sunscald.
"Starting from 2015, as standardized apple cultivation took off across China, we introduced our overseas-proven products and experience to the domestic market. Since then, our multi-functional protective nets have been deployed in more than 1.2 million mu of standardized orchards in Shaanxi, Gansu, Xinjiang, Shandong and Shanxi provinces, receiving consistently favorable feedback."
Li Wei noted that despite the absence of official national standards for agricultural netting in China, the company has never lowered its quality requirements — instead, it has set even stricter criteria. A dedicated display area for orchard protective nets within the factory fully demonstrates this commitment.
"We built this display area not only to showcase product effects for visitors, but more importantly, to collect real operational data. We guarantee a 10-year service life for our products. While lab tests have verified this lifespan, we want to gather firsthand field data. These nets have been placed here for eight years, exposed to sunlight all year round without being taken down. So far, their tensile strength has only slightly declined and remains fully functional. We will keep monitoring them until they are no longer usable, so as to confirm their actual service life. This is where our confidence comes from."
This versatile orchard net can be freely opened and closed according to different growth stages of fruit trees. It keeps pests such as green plant bugs, peach fruit borers and pear fruit borers away during the young fruit period, while ensuring unobstructed ventilation and light transmission when fruits ripen and change color. After years of technological breakthroughs, the Xinghaiyuan team can customize protective nets based on regional conditions, fruit tree varieties and orchard sizes, delivering tailor-made solutions for clients.
We have obtained 4 invention patents and over 60 utility model patents at home and abroad. Our next focus is to develop rain shelter cultivation solutions suitable for domestic cherries and apple varieties. Next year, we will launch a brand-new product made of NAP composite materials specially designed for rain protection.
Devotion breeds professionalism. Xinghaiyuan’s original aspiration is to help fruit farmers achieve long-term orchard protection with minimal investment. It is this sense of responsibility and mission that has driven the company to grow steadily.
"In business operation, we aim to grow stronger rather than bigger, and to pursue refinement rather than diversification. This will be our core development principle going forward. We will do our utmost to fulfill our social responsibility and contribute to the advancement of protected agriculture in China."
