Suban Honey Pomelo

Suban Honey Pomelo is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Suban Honey Pomelo is a specialty of Suban Town, Xinluo District, Longyan, Fujian.

　　Suban Honey Pomelo is known for its large size, thin skin, juicy flesh, fragrant taste, and high edible rate, making it the king of locally grown fruits. With its unique charm, it won the Golden Cup Award twice in consecutive national pomelo collaboration meetings and was certified as a pollution-free agricultural product by the Ministry of Agriculture in September 2007.

　　Suban Honey Pomelo has a wide range of uses and high economic value. Its peel is a valuable traditional Chinese medicinal material that can treat asthma, coughs, and other conditions. Clinical tests conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago Drug Center showed that pomelo juice can enhance the anti-cancer effects of rapamycin. It can also be processed into pomelo peel candy, preserves, jelly, and more.

　　In recent years, with the implementation of the agricultural "three-edge" economic development strategy in Suban Township, one of the “edges” being the "mountain edge," the township planted 13,000 mu (approximately 2,145 acres) of honey pomelos, yielding nearly 5,000 tons annually and generating over 9 million yuan in output value. At the same time, the township has focused on building the "Hometown of Honey Pomelo" brand, establishing the Meishan Red Pomelo Professional Cooperative and Yijiabang Honey Pomelo Professional Cooperative, and successfully registering the "Suban Honey Pomelo" trademark.

　　During the annual honey pomelo harvest season, Suban Township also holds a Honey Pomelo Picking and Rural Tourism Festival to promote the fame of Suban Honey Pomelo, Tea-Picking Lantern performances, and the area’s tourism resources.
