On May 29, members of the Xintiandi Cooperative in Wangwan village, Liangting town, Guangshan county, Xinyang city, were busy harvesting fresh peaches branded as "Liangting Fresh" in a local orchard. In recent years, Guangshan county has encouraged farmers to develop large-scale peach orchards based on local conditions, promoting cluster planting and supporting major growers in expanding production.
Currently, the county has over 60,000 mu (approximately 4,000 hectares) of peach orchards. By adopting a business model that integrates cooperatives, specialty industries, production bases, and local farmers, and through mechanisms such as land transfers and equity-based dividends, the peach industry has become a driving force for increasing rural incomes and promoting agricultural development.
