Conclusion
 Because of the influence of diseases and disastrous
weather, the pomelo production began to decrease
from 2004. The world production quantity in 2005
droped nearly 1/5 compared to that in 2004,
 China is the country of the largest acreage of
pomelo production, and its output rank second in
the world, just next to USA. In China, the
production area and output increased steadily, and
the growth rate speeded up gradually.
Conclusion

The production in China mainly supplies the domestic market.
However, after 2000 the export quantity of pomelo rose
quickly, so it indicated that the pomelo products of our
country was accepted by the international market gradually
and its potential was great.

There are main challenges of Chinese pomelo industry
