Sujiatun Rice

Sujiatun Rice is a Geographical Indication Protected Product.

　　Sujiatun Rice is a specialty of Sujiatun District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Sujiatun District is a national commodity grain base and a pollution-free rice agricultural standardization demonstration area. Sujiatun Rice has been awarded the status of a Geographical Indication Protected Product.

　　Sujiatun District is located in the southern suburbs of Shenyang and is known as the “Foremost Village Under Heaven.” It lies at the core of the central urban agglomeration of Liaoning, boasting an exceptionally advantageous geographical location. The region enjoys a mild climate, moderate rainfall, and abundant sunshine. It serves as a national commodity grain base, a pollution-free rice agricultural standardization demonstration area, a food self-sufficiency project demonstration zone, and a Liaoning Province agricultural standardization production demonstration area.

　　Sujiatun District is one of the most suitable regions in the world for rice cultivation, with a long history of rice farming. Sujiatun Rice (Hongling Rice) has consistently sold well across the country. Since the 11th Five-Year Plan period, Sujiatun District has invested 10 million yuan annually to develop and promote the Sujiatun Rice (Hongling Rice) industry, actively supporting and nurturing deep-processing enterprises for rice as well as specialized rice production cooperatives. Currently, the district’s rice cultivation area has reached over 200,000 mu, with an annual output of 120,000 tons. Ten national high-yield grain demonstration zones have been established, 21 rice processing enterprises have been introduced, and 18 rice cooperatives have been formed. This has created an industrialized management framework featuring planted bases, standardized production, branded products, expert technical support, unified supply of production materials, service provision by associations and cooperatives, and market-oriented sales—providing strong support for increasing farmers’ incomes.

　　In recent years, Sujiatun District has fully leveraged its resource advantages by introducing a number of deep-processing enterprises such as COFCO, Tianleyuan Rice Drink, and Liaoxing Rice Industry. This has further extended the industrial chain of Sujiatun Rice (Hongling Rice), enabling the production of premium rice, rice bran oil, rice beverages, and other products, significantly enhancing the added value of rice. The selling price of Sujiatun Rice (Hongling Rice) has risen from 3.6 yuan per kilogram in 2010 to 4.8 yuan today, resulting in an income increase of 144 million yuan for farmers in the district, with an average per capita increase of nearly 800 yuan.
