Introduction to Shimen Citrus

Citrus is Shimen's "business card". On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shimen Citrus has given back to the Republic's Huajia Birthday with fruitful achievements: the four "hundred mile citrus corridors" are magnificent, the ten "ten thousand acre orange orchards" are magnificent, the 220 professional villages are scattered, and the annual output value is more than 500 million yuan to enrich the people and strengthen the county. It is known as the "hometown of Chinese citrus", "the first county of early maturing tangerines in China", "the national citrus standardization demonstration zone", "Chinese famous fruit", "the national horticultural product (citrus) Shimen orange red export demonstration zone", "the national citrus advantage agricultural product regional key county" and other honors shine brightly... Sixty years of wind and rain, sixty years of accumulation and development, sixty years of hard work, sixty Growing strong every year, Shimen citrus fruits have become increasingly lush with branches and leaves

Due to the long-term chaos and poverty in feudal, semi feudal, and semi colonial societies, Shimen citrus has always been a decoration for rural production. By 1949, the county had around 1000 acres of citrus and a total output of 220 tons

"The Chinese people have stood up since then". The dazzling fireworks of the celebration of the founding of the Republic foreshadow the brilliant future of the millennium old traditional industry. In the autumn of 1962, Xu Mingkui, the then Secretary of the County Party Committee, approved the establishment of the state-owned Shimen County Horticultural Demonstration Field. Qin Zhengyan, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, led the development of 581 acres of orange orchards, and Fangding Mountain next to the county became a blessed land for "China's first early maturing honey orange county". On November 16, 1963, 5100 "Owari" and 2 "Gongchuan" seedless Wenzhou honey oranges entered Shimen, marking the beginning of the "seedless" era in the millennium orange town. In the autumn of 1968, 50 tons of honey oranges were exported to Canada for the first time, marking the beginning of 41 consecutive years of Shimen citrus exports and becoming the "number one county for citrus exports in China". Shimen Citrus has been thriving ever since
