"The grapefruit season in the Pinghe area of Fujian started in early August, and it is expected to last until around February next year. Overall, the market situation of this season is very stable, this is because of the fruits increasing popularity with Chinese consumers. The sales in the domestic market are going extremely well.” Wen Yidong, general manager of Pinghe County Li Peng Fruit Industry Co., Ltd., said in an interview with Freshplaza.

The picking season of Chengdu pomelo will begin in December. In contrast, Pinghe pomelo is better than the quality, taste and appearance. In terms of the season, the harvest season of Chengdu grapefruit begins later and the price fluctuations are also large."

“Compared with last year, our total production of grapefruit has increased by about 10% this year. The increase in production is due in part to the 15% increase in the area of our grapefruit planting base. On the other hand, the weather conditions throughout the year are relatively stable. There were not too many extreme climates in the fruiting period."

“Our Pinghe Honey Pomelo is sold in major wholesale markets and supermarkets in China, as well as exports to Europe, Russia and other countries and regions. This year, sales in the domestic market are very large, and the current price will be lower than the early period of the season. This is mainly because the domestic sales peak period is gradually passing, but the supply of pomelo has not decreased."
