Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced the 2025 list of selected agricultural brands for quality cultivation. Sichuan's “Anyue Lemon” was successfully included because of its exceptional quality and brand influence, marking a critical step in its development of branding and specialization. From the experimenting of planting the first lemon in 1929 to becoming China's only county-level commodity production base of lemon, with a century of development, the brand of Anyue Lemon is ready to venture into the world market with its brand as the driving force.

Anyue Lemons

Anyue lemons are rich in nutrients, containing various components such as citric acid, essential oils and pectin, offering edible, cosmetic and health values.  Large-scale planting bases have been established across all townships and subdistricts in the county. With an annual output of 600,000 tons, the lemons are sold in more than 30 countries and regions as well as in major and medium-sized cities throughout China. This industry has increased the income of 330,000 local fruit farmers and becoming the pillar industry of the local economy.
