　　In early 1988, in accordance with the requirements of the provincial and municipal governments, the Wuhua County Party Committee and County Government vigorously developed “three-high” agriculture, jointly developing Chatinggang in Hedong Town, thus kicking off the agricultural development in our county. Over the past decade or more, with the attention and support of the county and town governments, and under the specific guidance of the agricultural department, the fruit farmers of Chatinggang have worked hard to vigorously develop pomelo production. To this day, there are 82 farming households growing fruit on the mountains, with a total planting area of 3,400 mu, of which 3,000 mu are in bearing. The barren hills of the past are now covered in green, and today the mountains are fragrant with fruit. In recent years, the agricultural department of Wuhua County has vigorously promoted the eco-friendly "livestock–biogas–crops" enriched homestead plan at Chatinggang, continuously improving pomelo production techniques, optimizing fruit quality, and resulting in products that are in high demand. In 2003, the total pomelo yield reached 5,000 tons. In line with the requirements for producing pollution-free agricultural products, this year the agricultural department of Wuhua County actively involved the provincial and municipal plant and animal quarantine bureaus to establish a full-process inspection and testing system for agricultural products, improve the organic production of Chatinggang pomelos, and obtained organic origin certification.
