Leveraging Quzhou's Ecological Advantages as the "Citrus Capital of China" to Deliver High-Quality Citrus Ingredients to the Global Food Industry
In the golden autumn season, the core fragrant pomelo planting base of Zhejiang Jinming Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Quzhou has officially entered its harvest period. Plump, juice-rich, high-quality fragrant pomelos-freshly picked from the ecological plantation in the "Citrus Capital of China"-are set to be transformed through the company's intelligent processing lines into premium ingredients such as NFC juice, sacs (vesicles), and fruit pulp, serving customers worldwide.
Ecological Cultivation Guarantees Source Quality
In the early morning, sunlight filters through the branches and leaves of the pomelo orchard as Jinming's harvesting team moves among the heavily laden trees. Using specially designed fruit shears, they precisely snip the stems, and the fragrant pomelos-wrapped in their greenish-yellow rinds-fall steadily into bamboo baskets lined with soft cloth. Sorters then grade the fruit by size and color, selecting plump, smooth-skinned premium fresh produce for transport to the processing workshop. On-site technicians carry out random sampling with testing instruments to measure sugar content (Brix) and vitamin levels, ensuring that every single fruit meets Jinming Biotechnology's stringent ecological cultivation standards.
Full-Industry-Chain Processing Capabilities
According to the company, in 2017-as part of Zhejiang Province's "3030 Project"-Jinming introduced advanced citrus cultivation technology from Japan. After five years of meticulous cultivation, the experimental base has successfully achieved commercial-scale production. The company has now established a 1,000-mu (approx. 67 hectares) core citrus planting base, and its Ponkan (mandarin) base has obtained export base certification from the National Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, along with rights to use the geographical indication.
Leveraging its self-designed, fully automated annual production lines capable of processing 10,000 metric tons of citrus sacs, fruit preserves, and NFC juices, Jinming Biotechnology specializes in processing mandarin orange sacs, Huyou (a local citrus variety) sacs, red grapefruit sacs, orange pulp, pomelo peel, and orange peel. The company also offers a diverse range of raw ingredients including orange puree, honey citron tea, and citrus dietary fiber, catering to the needs of beverage, bubble tea, bakery, and frozen dessert manufacturers, with customized solutions available upon request.
Global Sales Network Continues to Expand
Jinming Biotechnology's products are currently sold throughout China and exported to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, Russia, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, and other countries and regions. The company states that it is committed to leveraging its fresh raw materials, professional processing expertise, and attentive customized services to collaborate with global partners in creating more delicious possibilities.
