　　Yangbao is a village cluster in Yangbao Village, Shuangxiqiao Town. Since ancient times, villagers have had the habit of growing chili peppers and are known for cultivating high-quality chilies. Over time, chili peppers have become a traditional and distinctive agricultural product of the Yangbao village cluster.

　　According to Li Guomin, a major grower, Yangbao chili is primarily planted with the “Ningjiao No. 1” variety. This type features a vibrant color, large size, thick skin, attractive appearance, and good transportability, making it very popular in Xianning and Wuhan.

　　The town has vigorously developed vegetable cultivation, with Yangbao chili as the main variety. On one hand, using the existing genetic traits of the Yangbao chili, it actively cultivates new varieties, having successively introduced five types: Kuyou Chili, Green Chili Pepper, Spiral Chili, Red Line Chili, and Ningjiao No. 1. On the other hand, it guides local farmers to gradually shift toward large-scale cultivation by relying on the chili-growing base of major grower Li Guomin, establishing and improving chili sales channels, strengthening external promotion, and fully building the "time-honored brand" of Yangbao chili. At the same time, it actively organizes specialized teams to apply for the national geographical indication of Yangbao chili, striving to reach new heights in the development of specialty agriculture.
