Jurong Grapes

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Jurong Grapes are a specialty of Jurong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. They feature moderately firm flesh, balanced sweetness, and rich nutrition. Known for their thin skin, tender texture, small seeds, abundant juice, and satisfying taste even when eaten frequently, Jurong Grapes are characterized by “three superlatives”: First, they have the largest cultivation area in the province. The city’s total grape-growing area exceeds 40,000 mu, with 38,000 mu currently in production. Jurong has become the largest fresh grape production base in Jiangsu Province. Second, they offer the most diverse grape varieties. With over 20 types including Summer Black, Kyoho, Muscat Bleu, Noble Gentleman, Noble Lady, Kyoho Rose, and Golden Finger, the picking season lasts for more than 100 days. Third, they are of the highest quality in the industry. According to authoritative tests, Jurong Grapes far exceed the national standards for fresh table grapes. Seven of Jurong’s grape products have won gold awards in Jiangsu’s “Shen Yuan Cup” Quality Fruit Competition. It is also noted that Jurong Grapes boast three excellent qualities. Firstly, their appearance is outstanding. Emphasizing green, organic, and pollution-free production, strict control over fertilizers and pesticides ensures every grape is plump and well-formed. Secondly, their taste is exceptional. Thanks to the region’s superior soil, moisture, and sunlight, coupled with widespread use of advanced cultivation techniques, the grapes have moderately firm flesh, balanced sweetness, rich nutrition, thin skin, tender texture, small seeds, abundant juice, and a flavor that remains enjoyable even when eaten often. Thirdly, their economic benefits are remarkable. In recent years, Jurong Grapes have expanded beyond local consumption, being exported to cities along the Shanghai–Nanjing corridor and throughout the Yangtze River Delta. Annual sales volume reaches nearly 30,000 metric tons, with revenue amounting to 400 million yuan.
