It is a hybrid fruit of citrus and grapefruit, rich in vitamins and small in size, plus it is a new variety that is favored by consumers.
"The agriculture in Longwen Town is mainly the cultivation of golden pomelo, and the preliminary investigation found that the soil here is high in potassium, purple sand soil and beef liver soil, which is suitable for growing pomelo fruits. In order to differentiate the development, we introduced grapefruit varieties for trial seeding. Li Junhong told reporters that in the early years, under the introduction of the Meixian District Institute of Agricultural Sciences, after comprehensive consideration of local light, climate, soil and other conditions, he chose this open area to the leeward wind of the south slope to try to plant grapefruit.
Today, the base has planted 500 grapefruit trees, a pomelo tree can hang up to 150 fruits, a grapefruit weight between 1.2-1.5 pounds, belongs to the standard fruit type, this year grapefruit production is expected to exceed 80,000 jin.

"That's what we call 'one fruit, two cuts.'" Villager Aunt Li introduced.

"Our selling price is 8 to 10 yuan per catty, mainly sold to first- and second-tier cities, and sold externally in an online + offline manner, and the current income is considerable."

Good pomelo has a good price, and the quality wins the market. Next, Li Junhong will work intensively in the field of grapefruit, a characteristic agricultural product, to form a batch of agricultural products with local characteristics, and at the same time expand the sales channels of grapefruit, open up the market and launch the brand.
