Longgang Nashi Pears

Longgang Nashi Pears

The Longgang Nashi Pear is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　The sandy ridge area north of Longgang Town has soil suitable for growing pears. For a long time, locals have made a living by cultivating pears, apples, and peaches. To further develop fruit tree production, the Longgang Fruit Farm was established here. New varieties of pear trees were introduced from Shandong, and through grafting and renewal, they were adapted to the local environment, eventually becoming the Longgang Nashi Pear. The pears are spindle-shaped, with a tender water-chestnut-like flavor. They average 200 grams per fruit, with the largest reaching up to 800 grams. The fruit has thick flesh layers and a sugar content of over 15 grams, which can moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and help treat asthma. It has won top honors three times at relevant evaluation events in Jiangsu Province and is exported to markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Canned food factories across Jiangsu use it to produce canned pear syrup for export. The annual total yield exceeds 3 million jin (approximately 1.5 million kilograms).
