Lizhou Big Nashi Pear

　　The new variety of nashi pear, "Lizhou Big Nashi Pear," meticulously cultivated over the years by the forestry department of Lixian County, has been honored as a "China Famous Specialty Product" by the China Fruit and Vegetable Expert Committee. After years of dedicated research and collaborative efforts by scientists, the new nashi pear variety "Lizhou Big Nashi Pear" was finally developed. The "Lizhou Big Nashi Pear" is increasingly favored by consumers for its large size, crisp and juicy flesh, sweet and mildly fragrant taste, and low stone cell content. Its market price is one-third higher than that of ordinary nashi pears. At the 2002–2003 Northern Agricultural Products Trade Fair, it was awarded the title of High-Quality Product. Given the "Lizhou Big Nashi Pear's" strong economic benefits and promising market prospects, the county has prioritized its cultivation as a key variety in the adjustment of the fruit industry structure, continuously increasing financial and technical support to encourage farmers to expand planting areas. Currently, over 2,000 mu of "Lizhou Big Nashi Pears" have been planted in the county, making it a new highlight for increasing fruit growers' income.
