At this time of the previous years, the wholesale and distribution of New Year oranges planted by flower farmers in Longxia Village had already been completed; however, this year, due to the pandemic, the sales of New Year oranges was greatly affected.
Jian Mingjin, a Guizhou flower farmer, contracted 20 mu of orange orchards in Longxia Village and planted nearly 4,000 orange plants. He said that according to the trend of previous years, the oranges should have been sold out at this time, but only around 20 pots have been sold so far this year.

Before the Spring Festival, Lingnan people like to put a pot of New Year oranges at home, which means good luck. This tradition has also made Chencun, Shunde, at the junction of Guangzhou and Foshan, become the largest producing area and distribution center for Chinese oranges.

However, with the upgrading of pandemic prevention and control, the cancellation of the traditional flower market and the foreign orders have made the happiness of thousands of orange farmers gone with the wind. The effort they have put in cultivation may be in vain, and the local flower and orange industry will also be under pressure. According to a data provided by the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Shunde District, the annual orange planting area in the district is about 8,000 mu, cultivated by 4,000 households.
As the Spring Festival is near, thousands of acres of orange fields in Chencun Town, the hometown of New Year oranges, have put a layer of golden clothes on the ground. As the largest orange planting base in China, Chencun has a planting scale of 7000 mu, an annual output value of 350 million yuan and more than 8000 employees.
