Where is the red tangerine grown? An introduction to its main producing regions

The red tangerine is native to our country and is mainly produced in Fujian and Sichuan, so it is also known as Chuan tangerine and Fu tangerine, among which the Zigong red tangerine is relatively well known. In the Sichuan region, it is mostly cultivated in hilly areas, low mountain zones, along rivers and lakes, or on plains. At present, various regions south of the Yangtze River in our country, such as Ningxia, also have production.

When do red tangerines ripen?

Red tangerines generally ripen from late November to December. When harvesting, the harvest period is determined according to the maturity of the citrus fruit, its use, market demand, and so on. Fruit should not be picked on rainy days or when the dew on the fruit surface has not yet dried.

Pickers should wear gloves, use round-tipped fruit shears to cut the fruit off together with the stalk, then trim the stem end flat, and handle it gently. Pick the fruit in order from the outside to the inside and from top to bottom. All containers holding the fruit are required to have smooth inner walls, and the picked fruit should be promptly transported to the packing house or storage warehouse. Avoid sun exposure and rain.

The above is the relevant introduction to the red tangerine producing areas. We hope it is helpful to everyone.
