five major lemon producing areas in the world and the only lemon production

Since the introduction of lemon in the 1920s, Anyue has bred a new strain of
Youlike lemon with better quality after nearly a hundred years of cultivation.
Thanks to the humid and warm ecological climate and high-quality soil
conditions, Anyue lemon is rich in citric acid, VC, antioxidants and other
nutrients better than other lemons, being regarded as the most ideal variety
for either fresh eating or processing. Anyue therefore has gradually become the
most suitable planting area for high-quality lemons.
At present, the lemon planting area in Anyue has expanded to 480,000 mu, with
an annual output of 600,000 tons, exporting to 38 countries and regions such as
Russia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates with volume of exports
increasing year after year. In 2021, the export volume of Anyue lemon reached
86,000 tons with trade volume of RMB 774 million, generating output value of
the whole industrial chain up to RMB 15.14 billion.
In recent years, the Anyue lemon industry chain has been moving towards
maturity and completeness, with a number of extended businesses developed. In
addition to more than 200 kinds of lemon products, such as dried lemon slices,
lemon essential oil, lemon perfume, lemon facial mask, lemon drinks and lemon
detergent, Anyue people also integrate lemon into Sichuan cuisine and have the
"lemon feast" with unique flavor introduced, such as Anyue lemon flavored
crispy fish, lemon chicken tofu pudding, lemon egg tarts, and lemon shrimp
sashimi, bringing the value of Anyue lemon to the extreme.
In the future, Anyue County will digitalize the cultivation of premium lemon
varieties and quality improvement to enable high-quality development of Anyue
lemon with science and technology, striving for a world-famous brand of Anyue
lemon.
