In midsummer, export of Yichang-produced summer navel oranges saw its peak season, accelerating the expansion into international markets.

　　At the processing facilities of Yilinghong Eco-Agricultural Development Co Ltd, golden summer navel oranges undergo intelligent sorting where they are precisely graded by size, color and sugar content. The sorted fruit is then quickly transferred to a newly constructed cold storage facility of a 10,000-toncapacity,featuring intelligent preservation and precision management systems. The entire process, from picking to washing, sorting and shipping preparation, is completed within 24 hours to ensure optimal freshness.

　　The company projects that its 2025 summer navel orange exports will surpass 20,000 metric tons, representing a significant year-over-year increase. While maintaining its Southeast Asian market presence, Yilinghong has expanded into new markets, including Indonesia, India, and Bangladesh.
