"China: "First supplies of South African oranges"

"The early-season supply of Australian oranges was insufficient in volume and the price remains high. The high price in production areas puts a lot of pressure on importers later in the season. Furthermore, South African oranges have already entered their supply season. They are expected to arrive in China in two weeks. The late-season supply period has begun. The most popular late-season orange is Cambria. Since the surface area devoted to Cambria plantation has greatly increased, the trade volume of some suppliers increased by as much as 30%. "This is according to Mr. Mike Wang of AltaiFresh (Guangzhou Green Belt Food Co., Ltd.).

"Our fruit import and retail company is located in the Jiangnan Fruit Market in Guangzhou. We import various seasonal fruits from such countries as Australia, Chile, South Africa, Peru, USA, Spain, and Egypt. We sell through traditional marketing channels in wholesale markets throughout China. At the same time, we purchase top-quality fruits from various places in China and export them to Southeast Asia, Europe, and the USA. We cooperate with Qifeng and purchase their kiwifruit. The kiwifruit export season will officially begin in August or September this year."

"While fruit import is growing rapidly in China, it makes me happy to see that China is also developing top-quality fruits for export. Qifeng kiwifruit is an example of a high-quality export fruit. Qifeng kiwifruit not only benefits from the standardized, scientific, industrial management, but also from innovations in agricultural technology, rapid development of the distribution industry, and support from government trade policies."

"While we steadily develop our market share, we also hope to bring more Chinese fruit to markets abroad. In order to take advantage of business opportunities, our company will participate in the Fruit and Vegetable Exposition in Hong Kong in September. We look forward to meeting with other people in the industry."
