Shayang Citrus

Shayang Citrus

　　Shaxian is located in the central-northern part of Fujian Province, boasting a mild climate and abundant rainfall, making it suitable for the growth of various fruit trees. With a long history of fruit cultivation and high-quality produce, "Shayang" mandarins are renowned for their excellent taste and quality. They were awarded the Quality Prize at the Second Fujian Provincial High-Quality Fruit Evaluation Conference in 1996. The seedless Snow Orange won the Gold Award at the First Fujian Provincial Fruit Quality Evaluation and Exhibition and the Silver Award at the Second China Agricultural Expo.

　　The fruits are flat-round or oblong, with bright orange-yellow, glossy skin that is easy to peel. They feature small, dense oil glands and large juice sacs, offering rich juice, a strong flavor, and a crisp, tender, refreshing taste — all indicators of top-tier quality. The county has 60,000 mu under cultivation, yielding an annual production of 50,000 tons.
