湖南这地的香柚开始“闯世界”啦！

Recently, a direct truck loaded with Jiangyong pomelos departed from a specialized cooperative in Cushijiang Town, Jiangyong County and headed for Vietnam.

近日，一辆满载湖南江永香柚的货车自湖南省江永县粗石江镇一家合作社驶出，出口直通越南。

The lorry carrying 30 tonnes of pomelos started off slowly and is expected to arrive in Hanoi, Vietnam through Youyi Port in Pingxiang City, Guangxi. This marked that Jiangyong pomelo has officially entered the global market and injected new impetus into the local fruit export industry.

现场，装满共30吨香柚的大货车缓缓启动，将经广西凭祥友谊关口岸通关运往越南河内。这也标志着江永香柚正式迈向全球市场，为当地水果出口产业注入新动力。

"This is the first direct truck dedicated to fruit export in Jiangyong. It only takes 17 hours to transport fruits such as summer oranges, mandarin oranges, and sweet oranges to Vietnam by the direct truck service. The cost has also been reduced by 15%," said He Hui, head of the specialized cooperative.

“这是江永第一台水果出口直通车，江永夏橙、沃柑、砂糖橘都可以走直通车运往越南。开通直通车之后，江永水果发往越南只需17个小时，成本也减少了15%。”相关合作社负责人何辉介绍。

Jiangyong County is the "hometown of Chinese pomelo". In recent years, the county authority has vigorously implemented the pomelo brand strategy and actively promoted fruit bagging, nutritional diagnosis and fertilization, and other technologies. The authority has also popularized standardized planting, providing farmers with whole-process production services, and continuously improving the quality and efficiency of the pomelo industry. 

江永县是“中国香柚之乡”。近年来，该县大力实施香柚品牌战略，积极推广柚果套袋、营养诊断施肥等技术，推广标准化种植，为农户提供产前、产中、产后全流程服务，香柚优势产业不断提质增效。

At present, the planting area of Jiangyong pomelo has reached 138,000 mu (9,200 hectares),  with 105,000 mu (7,000 hectares) of this area designated as a "national standardized production base for green food raw materials".

目前，江永香柚的种植面积达13.8万亩，其中10.5万亩香柚生产基地获评“全国绿色食品原料标准化生产基地”。
