　　Debao Navel Oranges

　　Debao navel oranges are known for their attractive appearance, sweet and juicy flesh, delicious taste, and premium quality.

　　These mouthwatering Debao navel oranges benefit from the area's fertile land, abundant water resources, and unique climate. The spring water gushing down from the deep mountains, together with the Jian River, provides the natural “milk” that nurtures the oranges, endowing them with large size, thin skin, beautiful shape, seedlessness, juiciness, crisp and tender texture, sweet and delicious flavor, and rich nutrition. Thanks to these advantages, Debao navel oranges are exported across China and to ASEAN countries, and won the “Silver Award” for exhibited products at the 5th China-ASEAN (Baise) Modern Agriculture Exhibition and Trade Fair. In February 2011, Deng Xiuxin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, president of Huazhong Agricultural University, renowned Chinese pomologist, and chief scientist of the National Citrus Industry Technology System, visited Debao to inspect the navel orange industry. He commented: “Thanks to its high-altitude and low-latitude location, Debao produces special early-ripening high-mountain navel oranges of superior quality. The oranges have bright color, sweet and juicy flesh, delicious taste, and premium quality. Debao is an excellent ‘treasure land’ for producing early-ripening navel oranges. They mature in mid-October each year, nearly a month earlier than other regions, making the development of the early-ripening navel orange industry here very promising.”
