Koh Trung Pomelo
Koh Trung Pomelo, grown in the Koh Trung district of Kratie province, is a prized variety of pomelo known for its delicate sweetness and refreshing flavor. This pomelo stands out due to its large size, greenish-yellow rind, and juicy flesh, which can range from white to pink. The fruit’s unique quality is attributed to the fertile soil and tropical climate of the Mekong River basin, where the pomelos are cultivated.
In 2018, Koh Trung Pomelo received the Geographical Indication (GI) certification from the Ministry of Commerce, ensuring that only pomelos grown on Koh Trung Island can be marketed as Koh Trung Pomelo. In 2019, Koh Trung Pomelo was granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the European Union, recognizing its exceptional characteristics tied to the region’s specific conditions. The cultivation of this pomelo has significantly contributed to the region's economy, providing sustainable livelihoods for local farmers.
