Fushan Three-Chili Pepper

Fushan Three-Chili Pepper

　　Fushan Three-Chili Pepper is a specialty of Fushan County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. The Fushan Three-Chili Pepper boasts excellent qualities such as thick flesh, vibrant color, strong spiciness, early maturity, being pollution-free, and highly nutritious.

　　Fushan County is a hilly region with an arid continental climate. In the past, when agricultural infrastructure was poor, farming was entirely dependent on the weather, resulting in low incomes and slow wealth accumulation among the local population. The drought-resistant, poor-soil-tolerant, and highly adaptable nature of the Three-Chili Pepper makes it well-suited to such conditions.

　　The cultivation of Three-Chili Pepper in Fushan County began in the late 20th century. After more than a decade of continuous development, the planting area has expanded from just dozens of acres to over 20,000 acres across the county, with an annual yield reaching 4 million kilograms and direct economic income amounting to 50 million yuan.
