Jinfeng Kiwifruit

　　Shennongjia’s Jinfeng Kiwifruit has been awarded the Third Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award and the Silver Award at the China Agricultural Expo. This variety produces large fruits, with an average weight of 91.8–110.3 grams and a maximum weight of up to about 169 grams. The kiwifruits are oval-shaped, well-formed, uniform in appearance, with yellow flesh that is fine-textured, juicy, moderately tart, and pleasantly fragrant, containing 12.5–15% soluble solids, 7.92–11.64% total sugar, 1.06–1.65% citric acid, and 90.6–120.5% vitamin C. The fruit can be stored at room temperature for around 30 days, and when refrigerated, retains a 98.8% whole-fruit rate after 120 days. Once removed from cold storage and kept at 24°C, it remains fresh for over 14 days, with a vitamin C retention rate of 90.88%. It also processes well, with a 75.8% raw material utilization rate for slicing and canning—showing no browning or sedimentation even after two years of storage. Juice production yields 78.8% utilization.

Jinfeng Kiwifruit fruits are large, uniformly shaped, early-bearing, high-yielding, storage-resistant, and excellent for both fresh consumption and processing. They can be cultivated in low hills and plains at higher altitudes, with easy tree management, strong adaptability, and good resistance to environmental stress. The variety has been introduced and planted across more than ten provinces and municipalities, covering a significant cultivation area.
