Linka Chili

　　Linka Chili is a specialty of Linka Village, Machang Town, Pingba County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. It is well-known for its moderate size, vibrant red color, thick skin, and few seeds.

　　Linka Chili has been cultivated for more than 400 years and is named after its production area—Linka in Machang Town, Pingba. It features a bright red color, thick (fleshy) skin with few seeds, a moderately sized fruit, and is rich in color, aroma, and flavor. During consumption, it stands out for its distinctive combination of spiciness and aroma. It also serves as an excellent raw material for extracting chili oil and producing various chili-based products. In recent years, the cultivation area of Linka Chili has expanded from 8,700 mu in 2005 to over 15,000 mu today. In 2005, adopting a “company + association + farmers” business model, the Linka Village Committee and villagers jointly funded the establishment of Guizhou Pingba Linka Spicy Products Co., Ltd. The company has fixed assets worth 5.2 million yuan and an annual production capacity of 450 tons.
