　　Chinese kiwifruit, commonly known as “yangtao,” is a deciduous vine fruit tree. It is produced in counties such as Xi Xia, Neixiang, Nanzhao, and Tongbai within the Funiu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain areas of Nanyang. Chinese kiwifruit is rich in Vitamin C, D, fats, proteins, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, along with various amino acids essential to the human body. It is highly nutritious and serves as an excellent tonic for high-altitude, underwater, and mining workers, as well as for the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and others. The seeds of kiwifruit have a high oil content and can be pressed into a drying oil for industrial use. Among these, the kiwifruit produced in Xi Xia is of even higher quality. Artificial cultivation has been developed here, and superior varieties such as 7951 and Huasheng No. 2 have been bred, earning praise from experts both in China and abroad. Xi Xia County has become a national commercial production base county for Chinese kiwifruit.
