Wuhuang Loquats

Wuhuang Loquats

　　Wuhuang loquats are a specialty of Wuhuang Town, Yanjiang District, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province. The sandy soil in Wuhuang Town is suitable for loquat growth, making its produce widely renowned. The main varieties include Dongting Mengmu, Da Wuxing, and Zao Zhongliu, with the largest Da Wuxing weighing up to 3 taels, and Zao Zhongliu ripening 20 days earlier than ordinary loquats.

　　Since 2013, Wuhuang Town in Yanjiang District has been vigorously developing pollution-free loquat cultivation, focusing on a 2,000-mu core area in Group 6 of Honghua Village, while also driving the development of multiple loquat orchards. Currently, the town’s total loquat planting area has exceeded 7,000 mu.

　　With the establishment of the “Pollution-Free Loquat Base,” Wuhuang Town is actively applying for a loquat trademark and plans to pursue a premium product route to better enhance economic returns. In the past, many outsiders rented land in Wuhuang Town to grow loquats. Seeing the promising profits from loquats, many Wuhuang residents who had previously worked outside have returned home, reclaimed their leased land, and started growing loquats themselves.
