Tainan Red Pomelo Freshly Harvested and Launched, Mayor Huang Wei-che Welcomes Compatriots Nationwide to Order Early

This year, Tainan Wendan pomelos have been in hot demand, and with enthusiastic purchases from all sectors, they are about to sell out. The good news is that the "ruby" among pomelos - Tainan Red Pomelo - which hits the market right after, is also a fresh fruit delight not to be missed, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival to give friends nationwide one more gift option. Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che specially became a one-day farmer yesterday (the 16th), visiting the orchard of Shi Yong-qing, a farmer of the Madou Fruit Tree Production and Marketing Group No. 12, to freshly pick and heartily taste the sweet and juicy red pomelos, recommending to friends nationwide that now is exactly the time to eat Tainan Red Pomelo.

Mayor Huang Wei-che stated that the planting area of Tainan Red Pomelo is only about one-tenth that of Wendan pomelo, so it is quite precious. Red pomelo is very delicious and rich in nutritional value. It is a fruit with high economic value that the city government and the Madou Farmers' Association have been fully promoting in recent years. This year, with the Pomelo Fragrance Voucher, it is believed that a wave of buying enthusiasm will be driven. Since red pomelo is precious because of its scarcity, everyone is welcome to buy and taste it as early as possible, and it is guaranteed that one try will make you a regular customer.

How to choose red pomelo? The Tainan City Agriculture Bureau suggests three key points: 1. Appearance and color: the peel is rough with evenly distributed oil cells, and the color is light yellow. 2. Shape: choose a pear-shaped fruit. 3. Weight: the fruit should feel heavy, representing that the flesh is fully developed and contains more water; the best fruit weight is about 1-2 kg.

Xie Yao-qing, Director-General of the Tainan City Agriculture Bureau, pointed out that red pomelos will successively be harvested and launched next, but because production is limited, consumers need to act quickly to taste the freshness. To order red pomelos, please contact Madou Fruit Tree Production and Marketing Group No. 12.
