Yichuan's specialty Sichuan pepper is known as the world's best pepper. In 1995, it won the Golden Horse Award and Provincial Quality Product Award at the Yangling Agricultural Expo in China, and was exported to provinces such as Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu, and Shanxi

Yichuan County has identified Sichuan pepper as one of the four leading industries in agriculture, and has built a 65000 acre high-quality Sichuan pepper production base mainly in Jiyi and Shoufeng, including 6 million "Dahongpao" Sichuan pepper plants. Yichuan Sichuan peppercorns are adorned with red and colorful decorations, resembling the top scorer in a new discipline, and have become the renowned pride of Yichuan. In recent years, Yichuan County has continuously adjusted its industrial structure, achieved regional development, and vigorously developed the Sichuan pepper industry in the towns of Jiyi and Qiulin Luchuan according to local conditions. By the end of 2020, the area of Sichuan pepper had reached 40000 mu, with a fruit bearing area of 40000 mu, a Sichuan pepper production of 1180 tons, and an output value of 30 million yuan. The Sichuan pepper industry has become a pillar industry for farmers in southern mountainous areas to lift themselves out of poverty and become prosperous, making Sichuan pepper another major industry for enriching the people after apples. At the same time, continuous adjustments have been made to the variety structure, introducing new and excellent varieties such as Qin'an No.1 and Shizitou. The "Dahongpao" Sichuan pepper produced is well-known both domestically and internationally for its large grains, thick skin, red color, and rich flavor, and is sold well throughout the country. In 1996 and 1997, Yang Ling won the "Houji Golden Statue" award for two consecutive years at the Agricultural Expo. In 2012, "Yichuan Sichuan Pepper" was recognized as a geographical indication by the State Trademark Office. In order to promote the development of the Sichuan pepper industry, a professional Sichuan pepper cooperative was established, which played a bridging role in promoting and selling Sichuan pepper, effectively driving the sustained and healthy development of the Sichuan pepper industry
