Ben Tre is very famous for its coconut fruit shaped like a gourd, carved with letters to serve the Tet market. For the Lunar New Year this year, this locality will also present to customers hundreds of green pomelos in extremely beautiful carved shapes.
Due to how they grow, green pomelos are very difficult to shape compared to conventional pomelos. As a result, after two years of experiments, nearly 600 unique products are preparing to hit the Tet market.
Carving this type of fruit not only costs money, but also takes a lot of time and effort. Typically, the highest success rate is only about 50%. In return, these products are sold at great prices thanks to the excellent way they produce yellow letters on the blue skin.
