Duan Yuan Grapes are a protected geographical indication product.

　　Duan Yuan Grapes are a specialty of Duan Yuan Town, Duji District, Huaibei City, Anhui Province. The town has a long history of grape cultivation, featuring multiple varieties such as Kyoho, Fujiminori, Jingya, and Zana. The planted area has reached over 20,000 mu, with an annual grape yield of 60 million jin.

　　Duan Yuan Town in Duji District is located on the Huang-Huai Plain and enjoys a typical warm temperate semi-humid climate, with abundant sunlight, distinct seasons, flat terrain, and superior natural conditions—making it especially suitable for fruit and forest cultivation. Among them, grape cultivation in Dazhuang has a history of over 300 years, giving rise to the saying “Dazhuang Grapes, Dangshan Pears.” The entire grape base spans over 20,000 mu, making it one of the largest contiguous grape-growing areas in China, based on numerous small-scale growers. With an annual output of over 60 million jin, the base is nationally renowned for the variety, quality, and economic returns of its grapes. The fruit is juicy and sweet, highly favored by merchants. Grape growing has become a pillar industry in Duan Yuan Town. In 2002, the “Dazhuang Brand” grape trademark was registered, and the product has since been awarded titles such as “Anhui Provincial Famous Agricultural Product,” “National Pollution-Free Production Base,” and “National Pollution-Free Agricultural Product.” It has also passed green food testing. Grape products are sold in over 10 provinces and cities across the country, including Shanghai and Guangdong, becoming a golden name card for agricultural and tourism products in Duan Yuan Town, Duji District, and even Huaibei City.
