Even though China is a large kiwi fruit production country itself, it also imports kiwi fruit from other countries like Italy and Greece." On the first of January a new batch of Greek kiwi fruits arrived. It is the first batch in this season and the quality looks very good. We import the green Hayward kiwi fruit, which has a little bit of a sour flavor. It receives a lot of positive feedback from our customers, because the kiwi fruit is full of nutrients and when you have a greasy feeling of eating too much greasy food, it helps you feel better very quickly. This kiwi fruit is especially popular with white collar workers. Furthermore, imported kiwi fruits always have a better flavor and bite, because domestic green kiwis always take a long time to ripen. They also become soft very fast, therefore they're difficult to store for customers and not a good taste experience." Said Mr. Zhong from Shanghai Sunfruits Co., Ltd.

“Our prices are quite stable, we are not sure about the price for 2019 yet, it might be a bit lower , but we are still seeing how the market develops. This is because the Chinese domestic production of kiwi fruits is increasing and selling for lower prices, so that might affect our price a little bit, but for now we have a stable price. Italy is also exporting to China, but we are more confident about our Greek kiwis，because they have a stable quality and better prices,“ according to Mr. Zhong.

Shanghai Sunfruits has been importing kiwi fruit from Greece since 2013. “We are quite experienced now and have contact with several Greek suppliers for our imported kiwi fruits. For example, Proto is a large kiwi fruit company in Greece and we are the general agent in China for this company. Though we also sell kiwi fruit from Zeus, another large and famous kiwi fruit company in Greece, which has very good quality kiwi fruit. We will import kiwi fruit from Greece until May."
