Since China joined the WTO in 2000, processing-type yellow peaches, which had been neglected for many years, have become popular again in recent years. From 2002 to 2004, the market price of yellow peaches was about 3 yuan/jin, and a fruit grower planting one mu of yellow peaches could earn the equivalent income of 3-5 mu of ordinary peaches. Therefore, the yellow peach cultivation area expanded rapidly across the country. To guide fruit growers in selecting yellow peach varieties, based on the standard that processing-type yellow peaches must have "golden yellow or orange flesh, high firmness, non-melting texture, no red pigment after ripening, and resistance to high-temperature steaming and boiling," we selected from more than a dozen yellow

To guide fruit growers in selecting yellow peach varieties, based on the standard that processing-type yellow peaches must have "golden yellow or orange flesh, high firmness, non-melting texture, no red pigment after ripening, and resistance to high-temperature steaming and boiling," we selected 5 excellent varieties from more than a dozen yellow peach varieties cultivated locally.
