Development of Lemon Industry

Nuofu Township introduced the "Eureka" lemon variety from the Tropical and Subtropical Economic Crops Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2012. Over six years of development, the township now boasts 6,500 mu (approximately 1,073 acres) of lemon plantations, with 3,000 mu managed by enterprises and 3,500 mu by individual farmers. In 2017, the industry generated a production value of 12 million yuan, benefiting local lemon growers. The 2018 production was projected to reach 10,000 tons, with an estimated value exceeding 60 million yuan. The lemons, known for their high quality, are primarily sold to first-tier cities like Guangdong, providing a significant source of income for the residents and aiding in poverty alleviation.
