Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
