Pomelo originates from Thanh Tan commune, Mo Cay Bac district, Ben Tre province. Up to now, this variety has been propagated and grown in many other places, but Ben Tre is still a famous land for its yield and quality. Pomelo has been recognized as a national variety by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam and exported to many different markets around the world.
