Central Yunnan Sweet Chestnuts

Central Yunnan Sweet Chestnuts

　　Yiliang enjoys the reputation of being the “Hometown of Chestnuts,” with 120,000 mu of cultivation area and an annual production of 10,000 tons of fresh chestnuts. It is a major production area in both Kunming City and even Yunnan Province. The chestnuts are widely renowned for their large size, thin shells, and sweet, glutinous taste. To accelerate the rational utilization of Yiliang’s chestnut resources, increase farmers’ incomes, and enhance product value, Wang Chongyun, General Manager of Dianwang Food Co., Ltd., conducted extensive research and invested 5 million yuan to establish a production line capable of producing 500 tons of soft-packaged chestnuts annually. On January 28, 2005, the first batch of soft-packaged “Plateau Pearls” and “Central Yunnan Sweet Chestnuts” officially went into production. Inspected by relevant provincial authorities, the products passed all hygiene and commercial sterility tests, met physicochemical standards, and even surpassed products from regions such as Beijing and Hebei in some elemental content. Their preservation technology achieved a first and breakthrough success in Yunnan Province, leading the industry. “Central Yunnan Sweet Chestnuts” were immediately well-received by consumers upon launch, and the products have been sold both within and outside the province. They filled a gap in the processed chestnut products market in the province, marking a new step forward for Yunnan’s chestnut industry, taking a substantial move in promoting agricultural industrialization through industry, and laying the foundation for the healthy and steady development of the chestnut industry.
