Abstract:

Quinoa has drawn wide attention from researchers and consumers because of its comprehensive nutrition, drought resistance, cold tolerance, barren tolerance, salt tolerance and other characteristics. Gansu Province has made considerable achievements in quinoa planting and processing since 2018. In this paper, the development status and problems of mechanization in quinoa cultivation, harvest, utilization as feed and products’ processing were summarized, and a complete set of suitable cultivation techniques was put forward according to the condition of different planting areas. Suggestions on quinoa industry of Gansu Province were proposed including establishing cultivation techniques for high and stable yield, increasing field purity and quality, strengthening the straw feed utilization, improving the comprehensive quality, expanding the depth and breadth of products’ processing, and building local brands. The study aims to explore new approaches for the development of quinoa industry in Gansu Province, and to provide a basis for its further development.
