Anxi Navel Oranges

Anxi Navel Oranges

　　Anxi Town is located in the southeastern part of Xinfeng County, Jiangxi Province, 29 kilometers from the county seat, with convenient transportation that allows easy access to both the southern special economic zones and the provincial capital to the north. The unique geographical environment, mild and moderate climate, and strong technical expertise have made Anxi navel oranges brightly colored, long and seedless, deliciously sweet and crisp, rich in juice with easily separable pulp, and with a lasting flavor. They have been awarded national and ministerial-level quality product titles multiple times. In 1976, approved by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Anxi navel oranges were first exported to Hong Kong for trial sales and received high praise from consumers. In the 1980s, they won the favor of experts from the United States, Russia, Hong Kong, and Macau. In 1995, the quantified standards and characteristic references for all eight local standards including "Xinfeng Navel Oranges" issued by the Jiangxi Provincial Bureau of Technical Supervision were derived from Anxi navel oranges. The town was designated by the National Bureau of Technical Supervision as the country’s only navel orange standard demonstration area and was named by the state as the “Hometown of Chinese Navel Oranges.” While Xinfeng navel oranges are renowned worldwide, Anxi navel oranges are the premium among them. After more than 30 years of development, the town has domesticated and cultivated superior varieties such as Newhall, Bonanza, Navelina, and Frost. Currently, the town has over 50,000 acres of navel orange orchards, with an annual total output of 8 million kilograms. The hospitable people of Anxi warmly welcome friends from all walks of life to invest in the navel orange industry here.
