Mengshan Sugar Oranges
Mengshan Sugar Oranges
Mengshan County is located in the northeast of Guangxi and is one of the most suitable regions for growing sugar oranges. Mengshan Sugar Oranges are also known as the “sweetest” Wuzhou sugar oranges.
Thanks to the area’s fertile soil, clean water sources, and significant day-night temperature variation during the ripening and coloring period—along with other unique climatic and geographical advantages—and the promotion of pollution-free standardized production techniques and quality control technical specifications such as the “Wuzhou Sugar Orange” geographical indication, the produced sugar oranges are distinguished by their late ripening season, uniform size, thin peel, attractive orange-red rind, juicy and seedless texture, high sugar and low acid content, and richly sweet, aromatic flavor.
Mengshan Sugar Oranges have comprehensively adopted the “Three Avoidances” (三避) technology. During frost periods, orchard cold protection film covering is implemented, and the fruit is kept on the tree for preservation until harvested and marketed around the Spring Festival. For many years, numerous outside merchants have competed to purchase fruit from our county, resulting in high prices and strong sales. This has also significantly enhanced the reputation of Mengshan County’s sugar oranges throughout Guangxi and even across China.
