Located in Sichuan Tianfu New Area, the laboratory is the world's largest germplasm repository for red-fleshed kiwifruit, preserving 90 percent of the global red-fleshed kiwifruit resources. The laboratory has also established a 133.3-hectare demonstration base in Sichuan and facilities in Shaanxi and Guizhou provinces to identify and promote varieties suitable for local conditions. The new varieties of red-fleshed kiwifruit have been applied to over 80,000 hectares in China and have been authorized for cultivation in 11 countries.
