Pinggu district prides itself on the cultivation of the peach.

In 2009, it represented a growing area of over 6,000 hectares and an annual output of 270 million kilograms of more than 200 varieties of peaches in four major categories. Providing employment for over 150,000 people, Pinggu peaches are also an important source of economic growth for the people in the region. Peaches originated in China and have been cultivated there for thousands of years. The peach tree has special significance in Chinese culture, with it being considered to be the “tree of life,” and peaches are recognized as symbols of immortality and unity. What sets Pinggu peaches apart from those cultivated in other regions are their beautiful colors, high sugar content, unique flavor and large size. These characteristics are a direct result of the unique geographical properties of Pinggu. With mountains on three sides and plains at its center, Pinggu’s fresh air, low pollution, sandy soil, plentiful water supply and the marked difference between day and night temperatures make for ideal peach growing conditions. By 2005 orchard owners were exporting them to over twenty provinces in China as well as foreign markets such as Brunei, the European Union, Russia, Singapore and Thailand.^[6]

Para registrar la Indicación Geográfica de los melocotones de Pinggu, los propietarios de huertos y el gobierno de Pinggu formaron el Centro de Servicios de Producción y Distribución de Productos Agrícolas del Condado de Pinggu (PDSCAP). Esta alianza dio como resultado que el melocotón de Pinggu fuera el primer producto agrícola en obtener su Indicación Geográfica registrada en China en 2002. ^{[ 6 ]}
