Ben Tre pomelo boasts a significantly higher Vitamin C and sweetness content (approx 11.60 Brix) along with lower acidity (approx 0.45%) compared to fruit grown elsewhere. This distinct quality is the direct result of a perfect synergy of geographical factors: 1. Topography & Soil: The cultivation area, spread across three large islets (An Hoa, Bao, Minh) in the Mekong Delta, features flat terrain just 1-2 meters above sea level. The soil is a clay-loam type with excellent drainage, continually enriched by fertile alluvial deposits from the four main branches of the Mekong River. 2. Unique Hydrology: This is the game-changing factor. Although the soil is naturally slightly acidic (pH 4.12 - 5.76), it is perfectly counterbalanced by a unique irrigation source that is slightly alkaline and rich in Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium. These essential minerals neutralize the soil's acidity and provide specialized nutrients, which directly results in the fruit's signature sweet and clean flavor profile. 3. Ideal Climate: The region enjoys a humid tropical monsoon climate with an optimal average temperature (25 - 29 C) and high humidity, which is perfectly suited for citrus growth. By choosing Ben Tre Green-Skinned Pomelo, importers secure a reliable supply of premium, stable, and highly reputable tropical fruit for the global market.
