The nectarines from Zhouzhi county-- the key fruit county in Shaanxi province, come to the market when summer arrives and the nectarine picking scenes are frequently seen within all the plantation areas. According to Mr. Chen Gang, the deputy director of Zhouzhi County Fruit Bureau, nectarines this year are big in size and high in volume thanks to the affluent rain, and the sales are very promising as well. Last year the kiwis from Zhouzhi county were exported to Russia, followed by nectarines this year, which stimulated the local growers significantly.
