On this occasion, her pomelo garden is laden with plump fruits in beautiful shape.

They got married in 2010. The first year, the family bought more than 200 sweet pomelo trees to shape. In addition, they planted red and sweet pomelos ...

Shaped pomelos are created by the family of Bang Thi Sau.

Due to lack of experience, the fruits suddenly became withered near the harvest time. After the failure, they were not discouraged. Then the couple borrowed capital and determined to do it again, following cultivation process, especially using organic fertilizer to make the tree strong, flexible and fruitful.

It takes a lot of time and effort to shape the pomelo. When the fruit weights about 200g, they select fine fruits and put them into the shaping mold. Each tree can give a dozen fruits for this process.

Every April is the ideal time to put the pomelos into mold. Each mold has 16 screws. If they are tightened loosely, rainwater or insects will get in and damage the fruits. On the contrary, tightening too much can easily break the mold if the fruit grows and develops strongly. The caring process must be closely monitored to make timely adjustments.

The mold has 2 sides, if the front is a Buddha statue, the back is a lotus flower, or the word wealth - fortune; happy – longevity; prosperous - finance to ease the taste of buyers.

Due to requiring strict care techniques, each shaped pomelo is sold at at least 150 thousand VND (6.43 USD), much higher than other fruits.

Apart from shaped pomelo, Nhat also has about 1,000 Tien Vua (King offering) red pomelos. His family expects to sell about 1,000 fruits on the upcoming Lunar New Year to earn profit of nearly 200 million VND (excluding the production cost).

By quickly adapting to sales channels via social networks, the shaped pomelos of Sau’s family are present in many provinces and cities. She shared that: "I take photo of the fruits then post them on personal Zalo, Facebook as well as fruit trading groups and associations to introduce the products together with my phone number."

Sau said that recently her family must reject an order from a big supermarket in Hanoi which requests to buy 10,000 red pomelos and 1,000 shaped fruits due to lack of supply.
