The results show that the carbon footprint value of 1kg of Xianju bayberry product is 0.5116 kg CO2e (equivalent carbon dioxide, which refers to the carbon emissions emitted after gas consumption), while its carbon sink absorption is as high as 1.2158 kg CO2e/kg, and the net carbon footprint reaches-0.7042 kg CO2e. This means that during its growth, Xianju bayberry not only did not increase the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, but also helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition, Xianju focuses on improving energy efficiency in the processing, storage and transportation of bayberry, and reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
This achievement is not only an recognition of local farmers 'green production concept, but also a strong proof of agricultural transformation and upgrading. Against the background of global climate change, low-carbon agriculture has become an inevitable trend in future development. The success case of Xianju Yangmei provides useful experience for other agricultural products and provides consumers with more green and healthy food choices.
