Nanzhao Chestnuts are a specialty of Nanzhao County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. Nanzhao chestnut has a long history of cultivation and is known for its "insect free chestnut". It is one of the key production counties in Henan and also one of Nanzhao's traditional export dried fruit products

Nanzhao County has a long history of planting chestnuts. As early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanzhao chestnuts went south to Wuhan and north to Luoyang, and were one of Nanzhao's traditional export dried fruit products. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people of Nanzhao Mountain area regarded chestnut production as an important aspect of greening barren mountains and developing characteristic industries, and carried out long-term and unremitting development. One is to fully utilize wild resources in areas with abundant chestnut resources in the deep mountains, and graft them together to transform wild chestnut slopes into high-quality chestnut forests. The second is to utilize the winter and spring afforestation seasons to extensively plant trees in vacant areas such as barren mountains and slopes, and develop chestnut bases. By 2005, the chestnut planting area in the county had reached 79000 mu, with an annual yield of 33.59 million kilograms of chestnut fruits and an annual output value of over 10 million yuan. Four high-quality chestnut production bases covering an area of 10000 acres have been established in Liushan Town, including Daligou, Banshanping, Mashiping, and Qiaoduan
