Villagers are busy picking ripe pomelos at the planting base in Xiacheng Village, Linwu County, Chenzhou City. Linwu pomelo is fragrant and sweet with plump and tender pulp. As it has been the first year for the pomelo trees to bear fruits, the number is not large, and many customers have placed an order earlier.

 

 

Although Linwu pomelo is small in size, all parts of it are valuable. It has high nutritional value with rich protein, organic acids, vitamins and other essential elements for the human body. This year, the Linwu pomelo planting base covers an area of over 200 mu (about 13.33 hectares). It can be sold for 20 yuan per kg, with an estimated revenue of more than 200,000 yuan.

 

In recent years, Linwu County has made great efforts to develop Linwu pomelo industry and create a brand of special agricultural products. At present, there are about 40 Linwu pomelo planting bases, covering a total area of more than 30,000 mu (2,000 hectares), which help solve the employment problems of villagers and promote the rapid development of Linwu County’s agricultural industry.
