After the fresh-keeping storage, the fruits can avoid the over-supply and intensive competition for transporting, so as to extend their on-shelf time. In this way, we not only satisfy the customer’s demand after New Year’s Day and spring festival, but also add value to the fruits, which has become a new way to increase the income of the farmers. To insure that the fruit still keeps its golden skin and special taste of sweetness, we must carry out the following measurements:

1 harvesting. You should not irrigate the orchard in the 15 days before the harvesting, and you cannot pick the fruit until 7 days after a heavy rain, lest too much water in the fruits makes them not suitable for storage and easy to rot. No harvesting in rainy days; no harvesting in foggy days. You should harvest in sunny or cloudy days. When harvesting pomelo you must treat them by “one fruit two cut”, which is cutting down the fruit together with its branch, then cut down the branch with your right hand holding the scissor and your left hand fixing the fruit at the bottom. Then put the fruit carefully into the basket, do not pull it fiercely or throw it to the basket, so as not to hurt the fruit, fruit with injury will affected by the bacteria and rot.

2 fresh keeping. The fruits should be transported to the storehouse immediately after harvested to get rid of sunshine and rain. Put them in stack not higher than 1 meter lest the fruits distorted or bear internal wounds by the pressure.
