Youxi Tea Seed Oil

Youxi Tea Seed Oil is a national intangible cultural heritage.

　　The “Youxi Tea Seed Oil” has been successfully registered as a collective geographical indication trademark by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. This marks another brand achievement in the tea seed oil industry for Youxi County following its designation as the “Hometown of China’s Tea-Oil Trees.”

　　Youxi County, known as the “Hometown of China’s Tea-Oil Trees,” boasts 225,000 mu of tea-oil tree cultivation area. In recent years, Youxi County has seized the opportunity of being included in the national pilot counties for tea-oil tree demonstration base construction, comprehensively implementing an industrial advancement mechanism of “project-based work, team-based projects, and leadership-driven teams.” It was the first in the province to establish a tea-oil tree management station and build a three-tier (county, township, and village) tea-oil tree technology promotion network. Each year, over 7 million yuan is invested to support activities such as cultivating superior varieties, assisting farmers with new plantings, and upgrading low-yield orchards—rapidly advancing the tea-oil tree industry towards large-scale and high-quality development. In 2011, the average annual income of over 50,000 tea-oil tree farming households in the county reached 2,800 yuan.
