Guxian Yellow Peaches

　　Guxian Yellow Peaches are a specialty of Guxian Town, Lingbao City, Sanmenxia, Henan Province. The yellow peaches from Guxian, Lingbao, have golden flesh that is fine and resilient. The yellow flesh is rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, iron, calcium, and various trace elements.

　　In recent years, Guxian Town has made the development of distinctive agriculture a crucial lever for increasing farmers' income and accelerating the building of new rural communities. It has guided local residents to adjust their industrial structure in response to market demand, vigorously develop high-yield, high-return specialty agricultural products with strong market prospects, and build specialized industrial bases. By leveraging distinctiveness for growth and scale for efficiency, the town has seen the yellow peach industry take off. The cultivation of yellow peaches began in 2004, and by now, the total planting area has reached 12,000 mu, with an annual output of 7,000 tons of yellow peaches. This generates over 15 million yuan in additional income annually, benefiting more than 2,000 households and nearly 10,000 people.

　　With the growth of the yellow peach industry, merchants from Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, and Jiaozuo have flocked to the town to purchase yellow peaches, leading to a booming market with both strong supply and demand. This ensures increased production and income for fruit farmers. In 2010, the purchase price of yellow peaches exceeded 2 yuan per kilogram for the first time. In the next three years, the total planting area of yellow peaches in the town will reach 20,000 mu, with total output hitting 30,000 tons, truly establishing Guxian as China’s No. 1 yellow peach town.
