Four pomelo planting areas in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau have been granted planting area codes, enabling them to export green-skin pomelo to the US. The four areas are the Kim Long organic pomelo farm in Chau Duc district, the Hoang Long pomelo farm, and two orchards owned by Truong Van Ut and Ho Hoang Kha, all in Phu My township. Those four areas have a total acreage of 68 hectares. Ba Ria-Vung Tau is currently home to 1,163 hectares under pomelo with total output estimated at 4,500 tonnes a year. Pomelo is the seventh fresh fruit of Vietnam to be licensed to enter the US market, following mango, longan, lychee, dragon fruit, rambutan, and star apple. VNA
