■Overseas PR activities
Kawanakajima White Peaches cultivated in Yamagata
Prefecture are harvested around the time of the Mid-Autumn
Festival, which creates demand for them as gifts. They are
popular because Japanese peaches (mainly white-fleshedpeaches) face no competition from overseas varieties in termsof taste. As with grapes, they are packed into baskets making
suitable corporate gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival season,and there is great demand for them.

■The characteristics and strengths of producers(the growing region)
This variety has been around for a long time, and it is lovedby everyone for its sweetness.
Great care is taken in fertilizing this variety, and it is resistant
to diseases and insects ensuring stable production. Yamagata
Prefecture is the northern limit for cultivating peaches, but thetemperature extremes between night and day, with low
temperatures in the morning and at night even in summer
draw out the natural sweetness of the peaches resulting in
top-quality products.
