In recent years, according to the agricultural industrial structure adjustment plan, Guanshanhu has developed four leading industries – fruit, vegetables, tea, and under-forest planting – to create modern, urban and refined agriculture.

With Zhuchang and Jinhua towns as the main planting areas, the district has promoted the scientific and comprehensive development of the fruit industry.

Currently, 18,500 mu (1,233.33 hectares) of fruit is grown in the region, with more than 20 dominant varieties, including yellow peach, yellow plum, red plum and yellow autumn pear.

Moving forward, Guanshanhu will formulate strict brand creation standards, strengthen the supervision of the whole process of planting, management, breeding, production and sale, and strictly control product quality to create a well-known regional public brand of agricultural products in the province within the next three years, according to Li Xiyu, director of the agriculture and rural affairs bureau of Guanshanhu district.
