Yongchun Ponkan

　　Trademark Registrant: Yongchun Citrus Industry Association

　　Yongchun Ponkan, a celebrated agricultural specialty from Yongchun County, Fujian Province, stands out for its premium quality, making it a pillar of the region’s agricultural industry. Its fruits are large, well-shaped, and either round or slightly flattened with a gently indented top. The peel ranges from bright orange to deep orange, offering a striking appearance and moderate thickness that protects its delicate interior.

　　The fruit’s flesh is tender, juicy, and melts in the mouth, balancing sweetness and acidity with a rich, citrusy aroma. Its nutritional profile includes an abundance of vitamins and essential minerals. Remarkably, Yongchun Ponkan is highly durable, capable of retaining its premium quality for 3-4 months when stored at room temperature using an innovative individual fruit-wrapping method. Its market supply can last for 4-5 months, enhancing its commercial appeal.

　　Yongchun Ponkan has earned widespread recognition, achieving first-place honors five consecutive times in national and provincial citrus competitions. It has been designated a “High-Quality Agricultural Product” by China’s Ministry of Agriculture and recognized as a premium brand by the China Agricultural Expo and China International Agricultural Fair, earning the prestigious title of "Famous Fruit of China."

　　In November 2005, it received official Geographical Indication Product Protection. The Yongchun Ponkan production base was also recognized in October 2005 by China’s Standardization Administration as a “National Agricultural Standardization Demonstration Area.” In October 2012, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine designated it a “National Export Food and Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Demonstration Area.”
