On November 28, a direct truck loaded with Jiangyong pomelos departed from a specialized cooperative in Cushijiang Town, Jiangyong County and headed for Vietnam.

The lorry carrying 30 tonnes of pomelos started off slowly and is expected to arrive in Hanoi, Vietnam through Youyi Port in Pingxiang City, Guangxi. This marked that Jiangyong pomelo has officially entered the global market and injected new impetus into the local fruit export industry.

"This is the first direct truck dedicated to fruit export in Jiangyong. It only takes 17 hours to transport fruits such as summer oranges, mandarin oranges, and sweet oranges to Vietnam by the direct truck service. The cost has also been reduced by 15%," said He Hui, head of the specialized cooperative.

Jiangyong County is the "hometown of Chinese pomelo". In recent years, the county authority has vigorously implemented the pomelo brand strategy and actively promoted fruit bagging, nutritional diagnosis and fertilization, and other technologies. The authority has also popularized standardized planting, providing farmers with whole-process production services, and continuously improving the quality and efficiency of the pomelo industry.

At present, the planting area of Jiangyong pomelo has reached 138,000 mu (9,200 hectares), with 105,000 mu (7,000 hectares) of this area designated as a "national standardized production base for green food raw materials".
