Nanhui Honey Peach is a certified geographical indication trademark.

　　At the end of 2004, the State Forestry Administration announced the results of the third round of evaluations for China's Famous, Special, and High-quality Economic Forest Towns. After recommendations from various regions and expert reviews, 73 counties, cities, and districts across the country were named "China's Famous, Special, and High-quality Economic Forest Towns." Among them, Nanhui District in Shanghai was overwhelmingly named the "Hometown of China’s Honey Peach."  

　　 In April 2005, Nanhui Honey Peach became the first agricultural product in Shanghai to receive national protection as a geographical indication product.

　　Nanhui Honey Peach originates from Shanghai Honey Peach and possesses unique product value. The earliest documented mention of honey peaches can be found in the Ming Dynasty book "Qun Fang Pu" (The Encyclopedia of Flowers), which states: “Honey peaches are unique to Shanghai, especially those grown in Gu Shangbao’s West Garden, which are of particularly fine quality.” As Shanghai expanded, the cultivation of Shanghai Honey Peach moved to the suburbs and gradually evolved into what is now known as Nanhui Honey Peach.

　　Today, the original strain of Shanghai Honey Peach still exists in the Zhoupu area of Nanhui. Through generations of refinement and rejuvenation by agricultural experts, Nanhui Honey Peach has expanded to cover more than 100,000 acres, resulting in a series of premium varieties such as Datuan Mili and Xinfeng Mili. Nanhui has become one of the regions with the widest cultivation area, most concentrated distribution, and highest yield of honey peaches on the plains of southern China. It has been recognized by the Ministry of Forestry as a national base for high-quality honey peach production.

　　　　In accordance with the "Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Regulations on the Protection of Geographical Indication Products," the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China reviewed the application for the protection of Nanhui Honey Peach as a geographical indication product and approved the implementation of such protection (Announcement No. 13, February 4, 2005).
