Wugong Kiwifruit

　　Wugong kiwifruit is a specialty of Wugong County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Kiwifruit cultivation began in the early 1990s in Caodian Village of Naren Township and Xuecun Village of Xiaocun, primarily featuring the “Qinmei” variety. In 1998, Xuecun kiwifruit was honored as a quality product by the provincial quality supervision bureau. In recent years, the planting area has continued to expand, with kiwifruit now grown across all twelve towns (centers) of the county, mainly in varieties such as “Qinmei,” “Xuxiang,” and “Hongyang.”

　　The planted area of kiwifruit in Wugong County has reached approximately 86,000 mu, forming a preliminary kiwifruit industry belt centered around the Wugong Dazhuang Modern Agricultural Demonstration Zone. Kiwifruit planting demonstration bases have been established in Shangzhai, Xiazhai, Liuyuan, and Jinjiayuan of Naren; Lijiacun, Daijia, and Xujia of Daijia; Wangrenyao of Zhenyuan; Tianduan and Gejia of Changning; Hedacun of Hedao; as well as Lianhe and Xinzhuang of Wugong Town. The industry scale and production level have been increasing year by year, with growing economic benefits. The kiwifruit industry has become a distinctive sector with competitive market advantages for our county, as well as a pillar industry helping farmers escape poverty and achieve prosperity.
