The study aimed to master the soil nutrients, soil environment, soil quality and soil environmental quality of green selenium-rich and germanium-rich production areas in Nanhua of central Yunnan. Based on the 630 surface soil samples data obtained from the 1:250000 land quality geochemical survey in Nanhua of central Yunnan, the soil nutrients, soil environment, soil quality and soil environmental quality of green selenium-rich and germanium-rich production areas in Nanhua County were evaluated according to relevant national or industry standards. The results showed that soil nutrient content in the study area was medium-highly rich, with 37.19% of the soil having sufficient nutrients of the first and second grades, and 42.35% of the soil having sufficient nutrients of the third grade. The overall soil environment was good, with first-grade soil (risk-free) accounting for 80.19%, second-grade soil (risk-controllable) accounting for 19.41%, and third-grade soil (higher risk) accounting for only 0.40%. The comprehensive grade of soil quality was generally high-quality and good, and the proportion of first-grade (high-quality) and second-grade (good) soil reached 60.26%. The proportion of soil that meets the AA grade green selenium-rich production area standard was 2.78%, and the area was 63 km². The proportion of soil that meets the AA grade green germanium-rich production area standard was 28.5%, and the area was 646 km². The proportion of soil that meets the AA grade green selenium-rich germanium production area standard was 2.78%, and the area was 63 km². The soil nutrients in the study area were relatively sufficient, the soil environment was generally good, and it had broad prospects for the development of green selenium-rich and germanium-rich foods. This study provided a scientific basis for the establishment of a green selenium-rich and germanium-rich planting and breeding experimental base and the development of green selenium-rich and germanium-rich agricultural and livestock products in central Yunnan, and contributed to the construction of ecological agriculture, local economic development and rural revitalization in Nanhua area, it also had a certain reference effect on the development of green agriculture and the land use planning in central Yunnan.
