Preserved Fruits

Preserved Fruits

　　Zhaotong City boasts abundant fruit resources. To leverage the economic potential of local fruits, a number of food processing plants specializing in preserved fruit production have been established in counties such as Zhaotong, Ludian, Qiaojia, and Zhenxiong since 1980. The technology for making preserved fruits was introduced from Beijing to develop this industry. Among these plants, the Zhaotong City Food Factory has a relatively large production scale and offers a wide variety of products. Since 1983, the factory has invested a total of 1.7 million yuan and now has an annual production capacity of 400 tons of preserved fruits. (Zhaotong)
