The market
Of course, a metropolis with 24 million people has many supply areas. This market is one of the main ones and is entirely dedicated to imported fresh produce of a very high quality.

We had a chance to discuss the prices directly with wholesalers. A 5 kg box of Chilean cherries cost 600 Renminbi, i.e. €90 (equivalent to €18/kg). The produce was transported by air otherwise, by ship, the price would have dropped to €12/kg.
Table grapes from California were sold in 8 kg packets at €35/box. Greek kiwis cost 130 Renminbu per 3 kg box, meaning the price per kg was approximately €5. Single fruits will be sold at €1 in supermarkets.
