 With the start of the yearly crop of Pinghe honey pomelo, everyone is very busy, from farmer to packing house to exporter. The Pinghe Honey Pomleo season starts at the end of August or the beginning of September until mid-January. There has been a good harvest this year due to favourable weather conditions and a large volume of high quality pomelos is expected, this means of course, big competition in the markets. Due to this many companies are exploring new markets outside western Europe. Hopefully the price will not discourage farmers from continuing to produce pomelos. The pomelo is becoming more and more popular worldwide because of it's juiciness and slightly bitter taste, it is also packed with vitamins.  Since 2005, government of PINGHE county have been holding Guanxi Honey Pomelo Festival in every October. Thousands of pomelo dealers and tourists attended the festival. Guanxi is the old name of PINGHE county and have been registered by government as the brand name of pomelos growed in PINGHE county. With more than 500 years of growing history, PINGHE GUANGXI honey pomelo ranks the first amont all kinds of pomelos in China. The export is growing year by year.
