　　    Nandan Bapin Rice is a product that has been awarded national geographical indication status, as well as double certifications for pollution-free rice production areas and products. It is a unique local rice variety from the Baping area of Nandan County. The polished rice has glassy transparency. Once cooked, the rice emits a fragrant aroma, with intact grains that are white, glossy, soft yet not sticky, offering excellent taste and remaining firm even when cooled.

　　    Geographical Range

　　　        The rice is grown in five townships of Nandan County: Mangchang Town, Chengguan Town, Liuzhai Town, Yueli Town, and Luofu Township.

　　     (Hechi City) Eco-friendly. In recent years, Nandan County has continuously innovated in rice varieties on the basis of the original Bapin Rice, placing strong emphasis on experimental development. This has led to increased grain yields and improved incomes for farmers. This year, under the guidance of the county’s agricultural technology service department, 88 acres of high-quality, high-yield super rice—the new Y Liangyou No. 1 variety—were planted in Manhua Village, Baping. The planting process achieved uniformity in variety, cultivation model, fertilization management, and pest and disease control. Due to the superior performance of this variety, its strong disease resistance, and proper measures and effective management, excellent results were obtained.

　　    Nandan Bapin Rice is produced in the Baping area of Nandan County, where the altitude ranges from 500 to 1,000 meters and the average annual temperature is 16.9°C. The paddy fields mainly consist of eluvial and flooded soil types, with loamy soils rich in organic matter and strong water and nutrient retention capabilities. Rice in this region is generally planted once a year, typically sown in mid-April and harvested in mid-September. The long growth period, along with significant day-night temperature differences and strong photosynthesis during the heading to maturity stages, contributes to the rice’s quality. The unique combination of elevation, soil conditions, climate, ecological environment, and cultivation techniques gives Bapin Rice its distinctive qualities. Its milling yield, polished rice rate, head rice rate, polished rice length, length-to-width ratio, chalky rice rate, chalkiness degree, transparency, gel consistency, gelatinization temperature, amylose content, and protein content all meet the national standards for high-quality rice. The polished rice has glassy transparency. Once cooked, the rice emits a fragrant aroma, with intact grains that are white, glossy, soft yet not sticky, offering excellent taste and remaining firm even when cooled.

　　    To strengthen the Bapin Rice brand as a signature agricultural product and promote the agricultural industry’s “increased volume and quality improvement” and “upgraded positioning,” Nandan County established the Bapin Rice Production Cooperative. The cooperative has attracted and developed nearly 300 farmer members in villages such as Baping, Manba, and Muma in Mangchang Town. The cooperative promotes green rice cultivation techniques and employs a unified six-part production model—standardized technical procedures, unified rice varieties, specified production materials, unified planting standards, unified management models, and unified purchasing and sales—to scale up green Bapin Rice production. Currently, the cooperative has established a 5,000-acre green, standardized Bapin Rice production base. It is estimated that the annual production of green Bapin Rice will reach 2,000 tons, with an output value of 11.5 million yuan, increasing local farmers’ net income by over 1.5 million yuan.
