　　China’s “Hometown of Jujube” ---- Yinping.

　　The main grain crops are wheat, corn, and rice. It is a national commodity grain base with an early-developed food processing industry. With a long history of vegetable cultivation, it is nationally renowned as the “Hometown of Kidney Beans,” “Hometown of Potatoes,” and a pollution-free vegetable base, providing abundant raw materials for deep processing of vegetables. There is also an ample supply of straw, suitable for growing edible forage such as alfalfa, leading to sound development in livestock breeding and livestock product processing. The area boasts ten major forest and fruit production bases including high-quality pears, cherries, peaches, plums, grapes, pomegranates, chestnuts, jujubes, walnuts, and apples, yielding over 200,000 tons of various fruits annually. The region also has rich mineral water resources containing multiple trace elements, making it an ideal place for developing juice processing industries. Other local specialties include soft-seed pomegranates, pomegranate leaf tea, shoulder-bag flatbread, black fragrant rice, and sweet potato dates.

　　Yinping Town’s ecological orchard covers a total area of 32,000 mu, mainly distributed across 20 villages including Xiewu, Shanghuangya, and Xiahuangya. The “Yixian Jujube” geographical indication has been registered with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. This year, Yinping Town’s investment of 2 million yuan in water-saving irrigation projects has played a positive role, enabling the jujube harvest to thrive despite drought and other adverse factors. The yield reaches over 1,000 kilograms per mu, with a price of 4 yuan per kilogram, generating a total output value of 112 million yuan and a per capita income of up to 4,000 yuan. This industry has become a pillar for local residents to achieve prosperity, gradually leading jujube farmers onto the “fast track” to wealth.
