Yongding Beauty Banana

The Yongding Beauty Banana is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　The beauty banana is one of the six major specialty industries in Yongding County, with Shangjin Village being the main production area. In August 2006, the beauty bananas from Shangjin Village were registered under the trademark “Gumudu” and obtained certification for the “Green Food” label. In July 2008, the Yongding County Gumudu Beauty Banana Professional Cooperative was established to implement unified packaging and unified sales, which helped drive the development of the beauty banana industry throughout the village. In 2008, the village was recognized by the Longyan Municipal Government as a “One Village, One Product” demonstration village for crop farming and received financial support to organize and implement the construction of a 1,000-mu standardized beauty banana cultivation demonstration base.

　　 Currently, the village’s beauty banana planting area has reached 3,510 mu, with an annual output value of over 8.5 million yuan. The “Gumudu” beauty bananas are popular in markets across Fujian, as well as in Chenghai, Shantou, and Meizhou in Guangdong, and are widely favored by consumers. Beauty banana cultivation has become an important industry for increasing farmers’ income in Shangjin Village.
