　　Yunan Seedless Wampee originates from Jiancheng Town in Yunan County. There are currently two mother trees, which are over 100 years old yet remain vigorous and bear abundant fruit. Yunan Seedless Wampee is considered a premium variety among wampees due to its large size, thick flesh, delicious taste, and seedlessness. The average single fruit weighs 12 grams, with the largest reaching 29.3 grams. Its flesh contains 18.6% soluble solids, an acid-sugar ratio of 10.7:1, 1.74% citric acid, and 43.8 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of juice. The seedless rate exceeds 95%, and the edible rate is 79.4%. It offers high nutritional value and a wide range of uses.

　　 Variety Protection

　　Yunan Seedless Wampee was discovered during the province-wide fruit resource survey in 1960 and was recognized by experts as one of Guangdong Province’s rare and superior fruits. In 1986, it was rated as a high-quality fruit at the second provincial evaluation for rare and superior fruits. In 2001, the "Yujiang" brand Seedless Wampee was awarded the title of "Famous Product" at the China International Agricultural Expo. In 2002, Yunan County was designated as the "Hometown of China’s Seedless Wampee" by the China Specialties Promotion and Publicity Committee. In 2003, it was certified as a green food product by the China Green Food Development Center. Yunan County has leveraged the seedless wampee as a key strategy to capitalize on mountainous resources and promote economic development and structural adjustment. The county established the Fukuang Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., adopting a "company + base + farmer" model to create a 10,000-mu demonstration wampee base, encouraging scaled planting. The vast market potential and significant economic benefits have attracted investors from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and the Pearl River Delta region to engage in large-scale cultivation in Yunan.

　　 Variety Development

　　After more than a decade of development, researchers have established a unified set of comprehensive standards for grafting propagation, improving variety purity, planting specifications, and cultivation management of seedless wampee. Through long-term experimentation and research, a complete set of cultivation techniques has been developed, emphasizing dwarfing, dense planting, early fruiting, high yield, and premium quality—fully leveraging the brand strength of Yunan Seedless Wampee. These practices have enhanced both product quality and planting efficiency. Currently, the planted area of seedless wampee covers 62,000 mu, with 20,000 mu in production, yielding 2.8 million kilograms and generating an output value of 56 million yuan. This has transformed Yunan Seedless Wampee from a brand advantage into a market advantage, establishing it as a signature product of Yunan County and a key industry driving the county’s economic development.
