Colombian lemons have become a favorite in the international fruit market due to their unique flavor and high export volume. CCTV reporters entered the core production area of Colombian lemons to explore the planting secrets of the local "seedless green lemons". CCTV reporter Deng Xuemei: This is one of the famous Tahiti lemon production areas in Colombia. We can see that Tahiti lemons are large and full, with a green color and a faint floral flavor when eaten. It is one of Colombia's important agricultural export products. Colombia has two common types of lemons, among which Tahiti lemons are seedless green lemons with moderate acidity and a fresh aroma. They are the most common variety in Colombian supermarkets and juice stalls, with the largest reputation locally. Their international sales have increased by 90% in the past two years, making them the third largest export fruit after bananas and avocados. Santander Province and Cauca Valley Province are the most important production areas.
