On November 22, at the citrus processing workshop of Xingxiang Agricultural Cooperative Federation in Yiling District, workers were busy packaging “Yilinghong” citrus fruits for market distribution.

　　In recent years, Yiling District, a major citrus-producing region, has successfully established 12,000 hectares of standardized orange orchards through the implementation of high-yield and high-quality cultivation techniques. With a focus on developing a comprehensive citrus industry chain, the district has expedited large-scale operations, standardized processing and branding efforts for its citrus fruits. The locally cultivated citrus fruits have gained immense popularity not only within the domestic market but also in over ten countries and regions, including Russia, Kazakhstan and Thailand.
