China, as one of the largest agricultural producers in the world, has a substantial annual production volume of fruit and vegetables. However, there is a great difference between the product quality of fruit and vegetables coming from different production areas. As Ms. Duan Hongmei of Beijing Xinfadi Trade Co., Ltd. explained: "Looking at the Chinese grape market one quickly realizes that there are significant price differences between different product varieties coming from different cities. Take the new grape variety, Sunshine Rose, for example, the current wholesale price is 60 yuan [8.95 USD] per 0.5 kg. Only consumers in cities in south China, where consumer demand is quite strong, are able to afford such prices for grapes. This is why the retail conditions for new product varieties are relatively good in Guangdong and Shenzhen. It is possible to understand the level of consumer power in different cities just from looking at the different grape varieties for sale. There is a great price difference between markets in south China and north China."
"The Summer Black grapes from Yunnan are already on the market. It is one of the most dominant grape varieties currently on the market. The price is around 10-11 yuan [1.49-1.64 USD] per 0.5 kg. The retail volume in Beijing Xinfadi Market is relatively large. However, this year's volume of top-quality Summer Black grapes from Yunnan is not that big. The main reason for this development is the weather. The cold current in early spring negatively affected the growth of grapes this year. The Sunshine Rose grape variety is relatively popular this year, and there are a few reasons for this situation: first, every production area in China produces the Summer Black grape variety, while the production volume of Sunshine Rose is relatively limited. In addition, the product quality and flavor of Sunshine Rose is particularly good. The quality improves every year because we are studying the grape variety and improving the technological standard of plantation management, which further improves the product quality."
"The current supply volume is somewhat limited. There are few production areas and there are many buyers. At the end of this month, other grape varieties will enter the market, such as Kyoho grapes from Taizhou, Ping-Pong grapes from Shandong, Victoria grapes from Raoyang in Hebei, and Rose Fragrance from Changli in Hebei. We estimate that the price will maintain the same level as in previous years."
