With the granting of certification of pollution-free fruit production to a company with an apple orchard of 400,000 mu (about 26,667 hectares) here recently, northwest China's Shaanxi Province has become the country's largest production base for pollution-free fruit. At Yan'an Fruit Industry Group's certification granting ceremony, Zhang Huarong, deputy director of China's Development Center for Pollution-free Food, said the production base with a total acreage of 800,000 mu (about 53,333 hectares) will help improve Shaanxi's competitive edge in fruit production and will lead to the establishment of a more standardized quality control system. Wang Zhenxing, director of the province's fruit industry bureau,said that, thanks to geographic and weather conditions, the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi is the world's best apple production base. In 2002, some 3.92 million tons of apples were produced in the province, accounting for 22 percent of the country's total and seven percent of the world's total. The province now has 10.56 million mu (704,000 hectares) of orchards with a combined output of 5.15 million tons. Chinese gooseberries, apples and dates are its main pollution-free fruits.
