The Giang Loc red-fleshed pomelo is currently planted on 30 ha of land, with an output of 500,000 pomelos a year. Meanwhile, chayote is cultivated under VietGAP standards using no chemicals, with an annual output of 1,000 tonnes.

Giang Loc red-flesh grapefruit grown by Tan Lac cooperative in Muong Khen town has won over consumers.

Brands have been already built for all of the products, which are packaged by semi-automated technology. Besides, they have geographical indication and have been registered for brand protection.
