Fugong Cardamom

　　Fugong cardamom is a specialty of Fugong County in Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Vigorously developing cardamom cultivation is one of the major projects under the "11th Five-Year Plan" of Fugong County for the construction of a million-mu fruit and forest base.

　　Relying on its uniquely favorable natural environment—characterized by abundant rainfall, a moist climate, dense vegetation, cool temperatures, a long frost-free period, and suitable soil—Fugong County has actively adjusted its agricultural structure, accelerated the transformation of its economic development model, and vigorously promoted cardamom cultivation through government-led and farmer-participated efforts. This initiative has steadily expanded and strengthened the cardamom industry. To date, the cardamom cultivation area in Fugong County has reached 150,000 mu, covering all six townships and one town across the county.
