Wuchang Rice: The Pinnacle of Chinese Japonica Rice
 
A national geographical indication product and a star in the EU-China Geographical Indications Protection List, Wuchang Rice hails from Wuchang City in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province — a land blessed by nature and steeped in rice-growing heritage.
 
Nestled in the "golden rice-growing belt" at 44°-45°N, Wuchang boasts a unique basin terrain surrounded by mountains, where warm currents from the Songnen Plain blend with crisp air to form an ideal microclimate. Fed by pristine mountain springs and snowmelt, the rice thrives in fertile black soil — a "giant panda among farmlands" with 3%-5% organic matter content, nurtured over millennia. With over 2600 hours of annual sunlight and 12℃+ diurnal temperature variations, the one-crop-per-year cultivation allows grains to accumulate abundant nutrients, including high levels of amylopectin and soluble double-chain sugars.
 
This legacy, dating back to the Tang Dynasty and once a royal tribute rice in the Qing Dynasty, has evolved through centuries of farming wisdom and strict modern standards. Following 27 processes and 99 procedures, authentic Wuchang Rice features slender, translucent grains that cook into fluffy, aromatic rice — naturally sweet, moderately sticky, and non-rebinding even when cold. Adhering to the national standard GB/T 19266, it embodies the harmony of nature and craftsmanship, beloved by households and chefs worldwide.
 
As a brand valued at over 700 billion yuan, Wuchang Rice is more than a staple — it’s a symbol of Northeast China’s agricultural excellence, delivering pure, time-honored flavor from the black soil to your table.
