International Journal of Horticulture, 2024, Vol.14, No.6, 426-437 http://hortherbpublisher.com/index.php/ijh 435 Akebia trifoliata achieves the goal of high-yield and high-quality cultivation. The promotion and application of these techniques will provide a solid foundation for the further development of the Akebia trifoliata industry, helping growers achieve sustained yield increases and income growth. As consumer demand for nutritious and healthy fruits continues to grow, Akebia trifoliata is showing great potential in the market due to its rich nutritional content, unique flavor, and medicinal value. As an emerging specialty fruit, its market demand is on the rise, especially in climate-appropriate regions where it has gradually become a high-benefit economic crop. In the future, through variety improvement and continuous optimization of cultivation techniques, the yield and fruit quality of Akebia trifoliata will be further enhanced to meet diverse market demands. The future development of Akebia trifoliata is not limited to fresh fruit sales; its industrial chain is expected to extend to areas such as fruit processing and agritourism, increasing product added value and expanding market space. With increasingly mature cultivation techniques, the planting and promotion of Akebia trifoliata will provide a new growth point for rural economic development and help optimize the structure of the agricultural industry. The development potential of the Akebia trifoliata industry lies not only in its economic benefits but also in its high ecological value, providing a new direction for the development of specialty ecological agriculture. To promote the sustainable development of the Akebia trifoliata industry, it is recommended to follow the principles of green agriculture and sustainable development, prioritizing the use of organic fertilizers and biological pesticides to reduce chemical inputs and protect soil and water ecosystems. Scientific water resource management, such as drip irrigation and fertigation, can enhance resource use efficiency and reduce production costs. In post-harvest processing and waste management, developing value-added fruit products can minimize waste, while utilizing plant residues for biodegradation or composting can achieve a green recycling loop. These measures will help improve the yield and quality of Akebia trifoliata, promote ecological conservation and efficient resource use, and provide a reference for the sustainable development of modern agriculture.
