Dazhuo Honey Peaches

　　Dazhuo honey peaches are produced in Dazhuo Town, Jurong City. In 1998, the Dazhuo Town Party Committee and government proposed the development of a 10,000-mu peach orchard. That year, a high-standard peach orchard covering 3,500 mu was established. Currently, the production scale has reached over 6,000 mu. The town frequently invites experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, and the Zhenjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences to give lectures, as well as fruit tree experts from Japan for on-site guidance.

Dazhuo honey peaches are loved by consumers for their large size, beautiful shape, delicious taste, and reasonable price. In 1999, the new white-flower honey peaches from Dazhuo Town won the gold award in the Jiangsu Province “Excellence Cup” fruit competition. In 2003, the town sold a total of 1,320 tons of honey peaches, with sales exceeding 5 million yuan.

In April 2003, the peach orchard successfully hosted the first “Dazhuo Town Peach Blossom Festival,” registered the “Dazhuo” brand honey peach trademark, and, led by the honey peach association, applied for and obtained national pollution-free agricultural product certification and Jiangsu Province famous-brand agricultural product status.
