Pomelo is one of the largest and most refreshing citrus fruits, prized for its mild sweetness and thick protective rind. Understanding China's pomelo harvest seasons helps importers time orders for the freshest, juiciest fruit.

When pomelos come into season

Pomelos in China ripen mainly in the period from late summer through autumn, with the exact window varying by region and variety. Fruit is harvested when it reaches ideal size and the rind takes on its mature colour.

Protecting quality after picking

Pomelos are cut carefully to avoid damage, then graded and packed with care. While the thick rind gives natural protection, good handling and controlled conditions preserve the juicy segments and aromatic quality buyers expect.

Planning pomelo orders

Order close to the harvest window for peak freshness and flavour, and confirm grading, packing and transit plans with your supplier. This brings sweet, aromatic pomelos to your customers at their best.
