Small and medium-sized orchards will begin picking and selling their pomelos for Tet in the next two weeks. |
 |
Farmers are providing the final care for their pomelos. |
 |
This year’s pomelo output is lower than previous years. |
 |
In larger orchards in Tan Trieu Village, pomelos are already sold out ahead of Tet. |
 |
Ngo Van Son, owner of a 2-hectare pomelo orchard, said only some green-skinned pomelos are left. |
 |
Son added that due to weak demand around Tet, many orchard farmers have decided to sell their pomelos all year round without waiting for the biggest festival of the year. |
 |
Unlike previous years when Son’s orchard was full of pomelos, most of this year’s pomelos were already sold out in the late 10th lunar month. |
 |
In some smaller orchards, farmers are tending to their pomelos for the 2024 Lunar New Year. |
 |
Tan Trieu pomelo is a speciality of Dong Nai Province with its unique sweetness. |
