Shiping Oranges

　　A green food product from the banks of the Nanpan River — Shiping Oranges are known for ripening early, having an attractive shape and color, high soluble solids content, minimal pulp residue, and few seeds. The peel is smooth and appealing, while the flesh is fragrant, sweet, juicy, crisp, and tender. These oranges are highly resistant to storage and transport, making them excellent for fresh consumption and processing. Among the varieties, the Ponkan oranges stand out province-wide for their large size, thin skin, and sweet taste. Navel oranges, mandarin oranges, summer oranges, and blood oranges also have their own unique qualities. Annual production reaches 7 million kilograms, with prices ranging from 1.50 to 2.50 (RMB) per kilogram. Five ventilated preservation warehouses have been built, with a total storage capacity of 1 million kilograms.
