According to reports, tangerines are the most important fruit in Guangxi, with an annual output value of 20 billion yuan. In 2017, the scale of the tangerine industry exceeded 6 million mu, and the output reached 6.87 million tons, ranking first in the country. It is expected to exceed 7 million mu and 7 million tons in output in 2018, becoming the country's largest sweet orange, Wo tangerine and kumquat production area.
After years of hard work, the tangerine industry in Guangxi has been leading the country in terms of scale, output and output value. Recently, late-ripening tangerine varieties have been introduced, which are more competitive as they enter the market at a different time than the other tangerines in the country.
However, at present, the tangerine industry in Guangxi also has problems such as a chaotic variety structure, quarantine pests (such as Huanglong disease), a rising supply of high-quality, virus-free seedlings and a weak promotion of new varieties and brand building.
