The event began with the 2024 Yongjia County Early Fragrance Pomelo Golden Pomelo King and Pomelo King competition. This year's evaluation differed from previous years, as it involved a unified picking and evaluation of excellent individual pomelo plants. Experts conducted a final comprehensive assessment of 20 pomelo samples that had been preliminarily selected the day before. The evaluation criteria included quality, external shape, and taste sweetness. Review expert Hu Dan said,"The quality this year is significantly better than in previous years. After evaluating nearly 100 samples, this year's solid content is basically above 12, with nearly half possibly above 13. Therefore, the sweetness and taste of this year's pomelos are noticeably better than in previous years." Ultimately, ten growers' Early Fragrance Pomelos stood out. In the subsequent award ceremony, nine growers were honored with the title of"Pomelo King",and grower Liu Zhongyi's Early Fragrance Pomelo, scoring 99.5 points, was awarded the"Golden Pomelo King" title. It is understood that Liu Zhongyi has been growing Early Fragrance Pomelos for nearly 30 years and currently cultivates over 200 Early Fragrance Pomelo plants.
