Seedless watermelon

　　Teng County is a national production base for seedless watermelons. The fruit boasts an attractive appearance, bright red and sandy-textured flesh, abundant juice with little pulp, crisp and sweet taste, thin yet tough skin, and excellent storage and transport durability. Its products enjoy a high reputation both within and outside the region, as well as in Hong Kong and Macao.

　　Guangxi Teng County’s seedless watermelons were once renowned both domestically and internationally for their large size, thin rind, deep red flesh, crisp texture, sweetness, and storability. The county became a national export production base for watermelons, historically accounting for 70% of the country's total watermelon exports. In January 2004, the seedless watermelons from Teng County’s 6,180-mu pollution-free production base passed the Ministry of Agriculture’s certification for pollution-free watermelon products. On December 18, 2004, Teng County’s vegetable and watermelon production bases covering over 180,000 mu received the Autonomous Region’s certification for pollution-free agricultural product production areas. Currently, over 100,000 mu of watermelons are planted annually, with three harvests each year in spring, summer, and autumn, yielding a total annual production of around 250,000 tons. The melons gradually come onto the market starting in early June and continue until November. (Jianwang Brand Teng County Seedless Watermelon — Guangxi Famous-Brand Product)
